Hail Repair for Insurance Claims in Parker, CO

A big storm rolls through Parker, and the next morning your car looks like a golf ball. Now you're dealing with dents, an insurance claim and a lot of questions.

This page walks through how a hail claim usually goes, what I do, and what's up to your insurer. It's general information, not insurance advice. Your policy and your agent have the final word.

1. Take photos right away. Get every panel in daylight, plus a few close-ups. Write down the date and time of the storm.
2. Open your claim first. Call your insurer or use their app. Get your claim number and your adjuster's name. I recommend doing this before you book with me.
3. Book your free in-person estimate. Once your claim is open, text or call (720) 515-9105. Hail estimates are by appointment, location provided when you book.
4. Get a panel-by-panel estimate. I look at every panel under a PDR light, count the dents, and note how big and deep they are.
5. I work with your adjuster. I go over what I found with your insurance company. If I find damage the adjuster missed, I document it with photos and go over it with them. What gets approved is up to your insurer.
6. The repair. Each dent is worked out without sanding, filler or new paint. Hail repair is by appointment, location provided when you book.
7. Lifetime guarantee. For as long as you own the car, including if a dent comes back.

"I work with your insurance adjuster on hail claims" means this: I can share my estimate with your adjuster and talk through the damage I found. That way the repair plan lines up with what's actually on the car.

Here's what it doesn't mean. I'm not your insurance company, and I don't decide what your claim pays. I can't promise a claim will be approved, or for how much. Coverage and approval are always up to your insurer.

It happens. Hail dents are hard to see, and two estimates can count them differently. If I find damage the adjuster missed, I document it with photos and go over it with your insurance company. Whether it gets added is the insurance company's decision. It isn't up to you or me, but the photos give them a clear record of what's on the car.

Your deductible is part of your policy. Ask your insurer or agent what yours is before the repair. Hail damage is usually covered by the part of an auto policy that pays for weather and other non-crash damage, if you carry it. Every policy is different, so check yours.

• Your factory paint stays. No sanding, no filler and no repainted panels.
• No paint to match. New paint next to old paint can look different in the sun. PDR leaves the original finish.
• One repair method for most dents. If the paint isn't cracked, most hail dents can be fixed with PDR.

If a panel has cracked paint or torn metal, it may need a body shop. You'll know at the estimate, before any work starts.

Photos hide most hail dents. A phone camera flattens the reflections, so a panel with a lot of dents can look like it has only a few. That's why hail is never quoted from photos. Every hail job starts with a free in-person estimate under a PDR light.

Hail repair is never mobile. It's by appointment, location provided when you book.

• Your insurance company's name and your claim number, if you've filed.
• Your adjuster's name and contact info, if you have it.
• The date of the storm.
• The year, make and model of your car.
