Insurance claims guidance Aurora: what Precision does first
Direct answer: Precision Exteriors Restoration provides insurance claims guidance in Aurora, CO: licensed (CO #0248041), insured, and serving the Front Range since 2016 with 3,000+ completed projects. We document every claim inspection with photos and provide free, no obligation inspections.
Precision Exteriors Restoration provides inspection first, documentation driven guidance to help Aurora homeowners move through storm related insurance claims with clarity and confidence.
Aurora sits on the eastern plains in the heart of Colorado's Hail Alley, so Aurora homes face some of the metro's most frequent and severe hailstorms along with strong straight line winds; roofs, siding, and gutters here take repeated seasonal impact. We work throughout Aurora including Saddle Rock, Tollgate Crossing, Murphy Creek, Southlands, Mission Viejo, Heather Gardens.
When Do You Need Insurance Claim Guidance?
Direct answer: You need insurance claim guidance when hail, wind, debris, or multiple damaged exterior systems make it unclear what happened, what qualifies as storm damage, or whether the insurance scope is complete.
Many homeowners contact their insurance company without fully understanding the extent of damage or how documentation impacts outcomes. Insurance claim guidance is especially helpful if:
- Your home was impacted by hail, wind, or debris
- Damage isn’t clearly visible from the ground
- You’re unsure whether damage qualifies as storm related
- An adjuster has already inspected, but the scope feels incomplete
- Multiple exterior systems were affected
- You want clarity before filing a claim
Proper timing and documentation are critical in storm related claims.

Hail impact damage, Aurora
May 30, 2024: the storm Aurora roofs are still paying for
Late on the night of May 30, 2024, fast developing thunderstorms hammered the east metro with some of the largest hail in decades. Hailstones bigger than limes were reported in Aurora, and a 2.75 inch stone, baseball size by National Weather Service standards, was measured in neighboring Commerce City. Hail piled in drifts deep enough to clog storm drains.
The event caused an estimated $1.9 billion in damage statewide, making it the second costliest storm in Colorado history behind only May 8, 2017, and NOAA counted it among the billion dollar weather disasters of 2024. Because that hail fell after dark, many Aurora homeowners never saw the stones that hit their roofs, and functional damage from that night can still surface as leaks seasons later. If your roof was on the house in May 2024 and has not had a documented inspection since, that is the first date an adjuster will ask about.
What the inspection documents
Direct answer: A useful insurance claim inspection records the system affected, the visible damage, the claim relevance, and the next documentation step before you make a decision.
| Exterior system | Damage we look for | Why it matters for the claim | Aurora detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roofing | Hail bruising, lifted shingles, broken seals, missing materials | Shows functional roof damage rather than general aging | Saddle Rock and Southlands homes often take repeated hail and wind exposure |
| Siding and windows | Cracks, dents, broken glass, damaged trim, compromised seals | Helps document damage across multiple exterior systems | Open eastern exposure near Murphy Creek can intensify wind driven impact |
| Gutters | Dented runs, detached sections, bent downspouts, drainage failure | Supports the full storm damage scope when roof and gutters were hit together | Tollgate Crossing and Mission Viejo roofs often drain long planes into exposed gutter runs |
| Interior signs | Ceiling stains, attic moisture, daylight at penetrations | Connects exterior failure to water intrusion after the storm | Fast freeze thaw cycles can make small exterior openings worse |
Our Insurance Claim Guidance Process
Direct answer: Our process is inspection, documentation, claim preparation guidance, and repair coordination after approval, with clear boundaries around what a contractor can and cannot decide.
We follow a structured process designed to protect homeowners and ensure accuracy without acting as the insurance company.
1. Storm Damage Inspection
We perform a detailed exterior inspection to identify visible and hidden storm related damage.
2. Documentation & Findings
Photos, measurements, and notes are collected to clearly document damage and support the claim process.
3. Claim Preparation Guidance
We help homeowners understand what information is needed, what to expect during adjuster inspections, and how to prepare.
4. Repair Coordination
Once a claim is approved, we coordinate repairs across roofing, siding, windows, and gutters when applicable.
Wind damage documentation
What the City of Aurora requires before shingles go on
Aurora treats reroofing seriously. A permit is required through the city's Building Division even for a straightforward shingle replacement, and Aurora's reroofing requirements call for every existing roofing layer to be removed before the new roof goes on: no overlays. Drip edge and rake metal are mandatory, and a complete copy of the manufacturer's installation instructions must be on site and available for the installers and the building inspector.
These rules protect homeowners, and they also matter for claims: an insurance scope that skips tear off or required metal edging is not buildable to Aurora code. As a licensed contractor (CO License #0248041), we pull the Aurora permit, build to the city's published requirements, and pass the city inspection as part of every approved repair.
Built for Aurora Exteriors and Colorado Weather
Direct answer: Aurora claims often involve more than one exterior system because hail, wind, and debris can hit roofing, siding, gutters, and windows in the same storm.

Common Insurance Claim Challenges in Aurora
Direct answer: The most common claim problems are damage being misclassified, incomplete scopes, missed damage during initial inspections, and confusion about deductibles or depreciation.
Aurora homeowners often encounter issues such as:
- Damage labeled as “wear and tear” instead of storm related
- Partial approvals that don’t address full repair needs
- Missed damage during initial inspections
- Confusion around deductibles and depreciation
Clear documentation and professional guidance can significantly reduce these issues.

Aurora claims after a big storm: what to expect from your carrier
When hail crosses Aurora, it rarely hits one house. Thousands of claims open at once with the carriers most Colorado homeowners hold policies with, commonly State Farm, Allstate, USAA, American Family, and Farmers, all of which rank among the largest homeowners insurers in the country per NAIC market share data.
After an event that size, carriers commonly bring in catastrophe teams and independent adjusters to work through the backlog, which means the person on your roof may be handling a very large volume of Aurora inspections in a short window. That is not a complaint about adjusters; it is the reason documentation matters. A photo documented inspection with slope by slope findings gives a busy adjuster something concrete to verify instead of something to hunt for. We prepare that file before your adjuster visit and can meet them on site when it helps.
What Insurance Claim Guidance Is and Isn’t
Direct answer: We inspect and document storm damage, provide repair scopes, and help you prepare for adjuster visits, but we do not act as the insurance company or make coverage decisions.
We DO:
- Inspect and document storm damage

- Help homeowners prepare for adjuster visits
We DO NOT:
- Act as the insurance company
- Interpret policy language or make coverage decisions
