Trussville hail claim. New roof in 7 days.

Trussville, AL · Homeowner took hail damage in a February storm. We met the State Farm adjuster on the roof, documented every hit, and got the full claim approved. IKO Cambridge architectural shingles in Dual Brown, full ice & water shield, synthetic underlayment, ridge ventilation. Job done in 7 days from materials delivery.

// The Problem

February hail. Tan shingles already past their prime. Insurance season just opened.

A late-February hailstorm tore through Trussville, hammering rooftops across the eastern Birmingham metro. The Patel home took its share of hits. The original tan shingles were already showing their age — streaked, weathered, granules wearing thin — but the hail took them past the point where repair made sense. The roof needed to be replaced before the next storm rolled through.

Urvashi got a text from FCRS the day after the storm. We were already running outreach across the impacted zip codes. Within 24 hours, our sales manager was at the door, drone in hand, ready to walk the roof.

// The Solution

A complete architectural shingle system, built to last decades.

// The Work

Tear-off, dry-in, install. One vetted crew. Seven days.

Day 1: full tear-off. Old shingles, old felt, old flashings — everything came off down to the decking. Crew tarped the landscaping, set up the dumpster on the driveway, and worked the roof in two halves so the home was never fully exposed.

Day 2: decking inspection and repair. We replaced damaged OSB sheathing where the storm had compromised it. Then ice & water shield went down at the eaves and valleys, followed by synthetic underlayment across the rest of the deck.

Days 3 through 7: starter strip, drip edge, then 100+ squares of IKO Cambridge laid course by course. Ridge vent installed at the peak. Magnetic nail sweep around the entire property. Final walk with the homeowner the morning after the last shingle went down.

// The Result

A roof rated to outlast the mortgage.

Urvashi paid the State Farm deductible. That was it. The full job — tear-off, decking repair, complete shingle system, ridge ventilation, debris haul-off — was covered by the insurance claim because we documented the damage to claim standards and met the adjuster on the roof.

Urvashi left a 5-star review on Google a few weeks later.

FCRS owner Joshuwa Jones replied: “Thank you for your review. This hail storm in Trussville has kept us very busy. We have been replacing a lot of roofs. It is nice to hear from you that even though we have high demand we are still ensuring we provide a first class roofing experience!”

Same conversation we had with Urvashi — we walk your roof, document any storm damage to insurance claim standards, and tell you straight up whether you have a claim worth filing. If you do, we meet the adjuster on the roof and fight for the full scope.
