Is the inspection really free?
Yes — 100% free with no obligation. We inspect your roof and full exterior at no cost. You decide what to do next. No pressure, no catch.
What if I can't see damage from the ground?
Most hail damage requires a trained eye and hands-on roof inspection. Granule loss, bruising, and micro-fractures are invisible from the street. Don't assume you're fine — a free roof inspection is the only way to know for certain.
How long do I have to file a claim in Minnesota?
Most Minnesota insurers require claims within 1–2 years of the storm. Don't wait — delays complicate or reduce your claim, and damage worsens over time.
Will filing a claim raise my rates?
Storm damage is typically an "act of God" claim, which generally doesn't affect premiums the same way at-fault claims do. We recommend checking with your agent.
Do you work with all insurance companies?
Yes. We have experience working with all major insurers in Minnesota and know what documentation adjusters need to approve claims.
Are you local or a storm chaser?
We're genuinely local — based in Eden Prairie, serving the Twin Cities year-round. We're here before storms and long after. You can always find us and hold us accountable.
What if only part of my roof was damaged?
We handle repairs of all sizes. Depending on the damage and your policy, insurance may cover a partial repair or full replacement. We'll give you an honest assessment.
How fast can you come out?
We prioritize storm response across the Twin Cities and southern Minnesota — including Faribault, Northfield, Cannon Falls, Owatonna, and surrounding communities. Most inspections are same or next day. For active leaks or structural damage, call us directly at 612-800-6580.
Did the April 13, 2026 hail storm hit Faribault and southern Minnesota?
Yes — the April 13, 2026 storm was a significant event for southern Minnesota, with 26,136 homes in the hail swath across Rice, Steele, Blue Earth, Goodhue, Nicollet, and Le Sueur counties. Faribault, Northfield, Cannon Falls, Owatonna, Waseca, Mankato, Le Sueur, and St. Peter all saw major impacts, with maximum hail sizes reaching 3.25 inches. If you're in any of these communities, your home almost certainly has damage worth a free roof inspection.
How do I know if my home was in the path of the April 13 storm?
The April 13 hail swath cut across a wide corridor of southern Minnesota. Even if you didn't see or hear hail, your home may still be in the damage zone — hail impact on roofing materials isn't always audible from inside. A free roof inspection from a qualified contractor is the only way to know for certain. Honest Exteriors is currently scheduling inspections across all affected communities.
How long do I have to file a claim after the April 13, 2026 Minnesota hail storm?
Most Minnesota homeowner insurance policies allow 1–2 years to file a storm damage claim from the date of loss. But acting quickly matters — delays give insurers more grounds to dispute the cause of damage, and unrepaired hail damage worsens with spring rain and freeze-thaw cycles. Get a free roof inspection now so you have documentation in place before the window closes.
