Hail storms are a frequent occurrence in Central Kansas. These storms cause significant damage to your property, especially your windows.

MPIRE Improvements can work with your insurance adjuster to ensure you are getting a fair value in replacement or repair costs – especially if you have Pella windows.

Here are some reasons why window inspection is crucial after a hailstorm:
Safety:
One of the most important reasons to get your windows inspected after a hailstorm is safety. Hail damage to windows can cause them to weaken, and if left unattended, they can pose a danger to you and your family. Cracks or shattered windows can lead to injury and are a security risk.
Prevent Further Damage:
Small hailstones can cause small cracks in your windows that may not be obvious without a trained eye. However, these small cracks can lead to more significant damage over time. Getting your windows inspected after a hailstorm can help identify these small cracks and prevent them from becoming more significant, which can save you money in the long run.
Insurance Claims:
If you have homeowners' insurance, getting your windows inspected after a hailstorm is crucial for making a claim. Your insurance company will require documentation of the damage to your property, and a window inspection report can provide the necessary evidence to support your claim.
Energy Efficiency:
Damaged windows can lead to air leakage, which can cause your energy bills to increase. By getting your windows inspected after a hailstorm, you can identify any damage that may be affecting your windows' energy efficiency. Repairing or replacing damaged windows can help reduce your energy bills and save you money. Our high-quality Pella windows improve your home's efficiency beyond the needed repair.
Resale Value:
If you plan to sell your home in the future, damaged windows can affect your home's resale value. By getting your windows inspected and repaired after a hailstorm, you can maintain the value of your property and make it more attractive to potential buyers.
In conclusion, getting your windows inspected after a hailstorm is essential for safety, preventing further damage, making insurance claims, improving energy efficiency, and maintaining the value of your property.
