If your area recently experienced hail, strong winds, or severe thunderstorms, you can identify several warning signs from ground level. For your safety, do not attempt to climb onto the roof without proper equipment and training.
Watch for:
• Missing shingles
• Shingles that appear curled, lifted, cracked, or creased
• Shingle fragments scattered in your yard
• Visible roofing felt or underlayment
• Loosened flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylightsWill an insurance claim automatically raise my premiums?
No. Filing a roofing insurance claim in Maryland does not result in an automatic premium increase.
That said, submitting a claim may influence your future rates based on several considerations:
• Type of claim: Weather-related damage from hail, wind, or storms is typically evaluated differently than claims related to maintenance or preventable damage.
• Your claims history: Insurance providers review your past claims when determining risk. Filing multiple claims within several years may lead to premium adjustments or other underwriting decisions.
• Regional loss patterns: Premiums may rise across an entire area following significant storm events, affecting all homeowners regardless of individual claim activity. Maryland regulators have observed that broader rate increases can result from elevated storm losses, inflation, and rising reconstruction costs.
• Insurer policies: Each insurance company follows distinct underwriting standards, meaning claim impact varies by provider.Will you work directly with my insurance company?

After hail, high winds, or severe storms in your area, you can check for damage from the ground without needing to climb onto your roof, which requires proper safety equipment and expertise.

In Maryland, filing a roofing insurance claim doesn't automatically result in higher homeowners insurance premiums. Your future rates depend on several considerations, including the nature of the claim—weather-related damage like hail or wind is generally treated differently than maintenance issues—your previous claims history, since multiple claims may impact your risk profile, region-wide losses that can cause rate adjustments for all policyholders in an area, and your insurance carrier's particular underwriting policies. Maryland regulators recognize that broader rate increases can occur due to elevated storm losses, inflation, and increased rebuilding expenses.Will you work directly with my insurance company?
