Title: Hail Storm
Post by: winterland on June 03, 2008, 01:13:03 AM
Did anyone else get hit? Golden Valley got hit hard. We knew it was coming and got everything secure.
It came down hard for about 5 minutes with almost golf ball size hail. Neighbors had dented cars and siding. We spent the day Sunday cleaning up leaves and small branches everywhere. You could hardly see the street. Also planted the garden. Glad I didn't sooner.
Will post some pics.

Have the roof checked out Winterland.

Most will appraise it for free.

Loss of grit means water gets into the walls...no good.

eh she will have the roof people knocking on her door in droves.  They hunt you out after you get hit.  Just a matter of checking backgrounds on companies.

And the funny thing is how they offer that bird dog fee.

$50 bucks if you recommend someone to them...just not right but it could be an incentive to some.

My biz is really picking up with the damage...Golden Valley through Eagan was a major hail area from what I'm told.

The hail will keep us very busy for the next few months.

I'll be having someone looking at my roof and siding at some point here.  Hoping they'll replace it all....

Well Plymouth got lit up by hail so far from this current storm.

Looking at the maps...and it's all moving Noreast.

Yeah, nailed a second time.  Inspection won't be until the end of June though....
