Why It Pays to Act Fast After Hail: Insurance Deadlines, Hidden Damage, and Peace of Mind
Elisa DeFoe • August 6, 2025
After a monster hailstorm like the one that just blasted Cheyenne, Wyoming with up to 2.75-inch hail, every homeowner has the same question: Is my roof okay?

Here's the truth: you might not know until it’s too late. And waiting to act could cost you thousands.When hail hits hard, time is everything. Insurance deadlines begin the moment the storm clears. Water starts sneaking into weakened shingles. And damage that could be handled affordably now snowballs into major repairs down the road.
Acting fast isn’t panic — it’s protection.
Here’s why Cheyenne homeowners need to move quickly:
1. Insurance Deadlines Are Real
Most policies give you a limited time to file a claim after a hailstorm, often between 6 to 12 months. But the sooner you document and file, the smoother your process will be. Waiting could lead to denied coverage.
2. Damage Gets Worse Over Time
Even small hail hits can create hairline cracks or knock off protective granules. With one more storm or a few hot sunny days, those weak spots become roof leaks, attic mold, or structural issues.
3. Your Claim is Stronger When Filed Early
Insurance companies are most responsive right after a major event, especially when entire neighborhoods are affected. Filing early makes it easier to prove your damage came from this storm, not something else months later.
4. Peace of Mind is Priceless
