Hail Damage Causes Higher Insurance and Repair Costs

By Tilcor Roofing Systems.

A stone coated steel roof can help prevent repeat claims, increased insurance premiums, and costly repairs.

Severe weather causes billions of dollars in damage to homes each year.  States like Texas and Colorado get hit so often homeowners now face higher insurance rates and repair costs, especially when it comes to roofing.  Traditional roof materials are designed to last between 15-25 years. But in hail prone states, roofs are replaced as often as every five years!

It’s no secret that new roofs are expensive.  Even if your customers’ homeowner’s insurance covers the cost of storm damage, high deductibles can quickly eat into their savings accounts.  Insurance companies are feeling the cost of hailstorms too. In parts of Colorado and Texas homeowners are getting told to switch to a hail resistant shingle or get dropped from coverage!

But there’s good news for contractors to share with homeowners.  They don’t have to settle with repeat claims, skyrocketing insurance premiums, or expensive repairs.  Switching to a stone coated steel roof is the easiest way to prevent all of those scenarios. What’s even better, a stone coated steel roof from Tilcor Roofing Systems can actually save them money.  Read the benefits below and share them with your customers— #3 may surprise you!

Top 5 Benefits of a Stone Coated Steel Roof for Homeowners

A Tilcor stone coated steel roof is the right choice if your customers are concerned about:

1- Durability

Tilcor’s stone coated steel panels are made to endure extreme conditions.  And by endure, we don’t just mean they can withstand damage and then look terrible after a significant storm.  Tilcor Roofs are made to last and can withstand fires, earthquakes, winds up to 120 mph, and large hail. With our lifetime warranty, a Tilcor Roof may be the last roof your customers have installed. 

2- Lower Costs

Our stone coated steel roofs are easy and quick to install.  Our interlocking and modular roofing system is much easier to handle than other roofing materials such as long-run steel roofing and concrete tiles.  Stone coated steel roofs can qualify homeowners for insurance discounts too.

3- Energy Savings

Metal is known to be one of the most energy efficient roofing materials available and can save homeowners up to 40% in energy costs.

4- Sustainability

Tilcor’s metal tiles are 100% recyclable.  A metal roof also requires less wood and less fuel for transportation.  Stone coated steel roofs are one of the most environmentally friendly roofing products on the market right now.

5- Lifetime Value

Stone coated steel roofs have a longer lifespan than traditional materials.  Standard asphalt shingles usually only last around 15-25 years (if there is no hail in the region).  A stone coated steel roof from Tilcor can last 50 years, if not more!

Tilcor Roofs Can Stop the Insanity

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly but expecting different results.  Homeowners in states that get hit with severe weather consistently, such as Texas or Colorado, can probably relate.  It hails, the roof gets damaged, they get a new one, their rates go up, and it happens again five years later. Switching to a Tilcor roof can help stop this insanity.
