Storm hit your roof? Do these things first.

A free two-page checklist for Houston homeowners

After hail, wind or a tropical storm, the first few days decide a lot: what gets photographed, whether more water gets in, which contractor you trust, and whether the claim is filed in time. This free checklist puts it all on two printable pages. Fill in the short form and it opens straight away.

What it covers

• Right after the storm: power line safety, staying off the roof, and noting the date, time and hail size.
• Documenting damage: the photos that matter, including gutters, vents, AC fins and screens that show hail size.
• Stopping more damage: tarps, buckets and the receipts to keep.
• Your policy: the percentage deductible, replacement cost versus actual cash value, and reporting deadlines.
• Filing and the adjuster visit, and why the roofer should be on the roof when the adjuster comes.
• Hiring safely: insurance, written scope, deposits, and the Texas rule against waiving deductibles.
• After the work: invoices, permits, warranties and recovering held-back insurance money.
• Coastal homes: checking whether wind is covered by your homeowners policy or a separate windstorm policy.

Hurricane season runs June through November, and Houston's spring storms can be just as damaging. For more detail, see storm damage and hail insurance claims.
