Read what our clients have to say about our workmanship:
..........................................................................................................

"I want to compliment you and your crews for the professional work you recently completed on our home. The craftsmanship is excellent. From the first meeting we had you where very pleasant and provided us with important information that we needed to make the right decisions. You set the schedules for each segment of work and completed them often time before the scheduled complete date. There was a few shingles that were inadvertently damaged. You had a crew out the next day and had them corrected. The original quote is what we paid. There were no add-ons or "incidentals" forgotten on the original quote. Overall you guys are an excellent company. I will definitely use you for future projects and recommend you to any of my friends. Thanks for a job well done."
-Randee Dean Read Original
_______________________________________________________________________________
"We recently engaged your company to restore our home from the recent hail storm damage, to our roof, siding and gutters. We would like to commend you for the fine selection of your different crews. Each crew was very professional, courteous, and speedy. They all paid attention to every detail and handled each special situation very carefully and professionally. Upon completion of each job, each crew did an excellent job of cleaning up the site.

Most of all we would like to praise George Grisaffe your Field Supervisor in our area. He had a crew working on a home across the street when, we discovered that we had water leaking in out house from damaged flashing around our chimney. I mentioned that to George and he sent one of his men over to caulk around the chimney. Without even knowing that we were going to use your company to do the future work needed.

But he was most impressive after we actually agreed to have the work done by your company. He would come by every day to make sure all the work was being done to our satisfaction. He went out of his way to do little extra things that we needed. What impressed us most, was the fact that, when he said he would come back to take care of this or that. He actually did come back as promised! Unlike most companies that, once they get you to use them they disappear. Then when you have a problem after the jobs are complete, you can't get a hold of anyone.  And that is the most frustrating thing about hiring a contractor!  We hope that you will recognize what an asset George is to your company.

We will definitely highly recommend your company to all our friends and relatives that need work done now, or in the future.

Thank you once again for a job well done by all!"

Hail & Wind Damage


Ameristar Exteriors specializes in insurance restoration. Our trained, professional field representatives have settled numerous insurance claims for homeowners due to destructive hail and wind damage. If the integrity of your home or business has suffered severe damage from recent storms, your insurance company is liable.  Our strength as a company lies in our experience and expertise.  At Ameristar Exteriors, we deal with the insurance claim process on a daily basis and will gladly extend a helping hand throughout the entire process, from filing a claim to finalizing the construction on your home or business.  Working proficiently on all aspects of your claim, we will use our experience, knowledge, and resources to have your property looking new again.

Answering Your Questions About Hail & Wind Damage:
..........................................................................................................

Q: What is hail and wind damage?

A: Any damage that your property has sustained as a result of hail {usually 1" or larger} striking your home in moderate to heavy volume.  High winds can also severely increase the amount of physical damage to your home or business' exterior structure.  Typically, this type of forceful hail will damage and compromise the integrity of asphalt composite shingles, cedar shake, metal roofs, aluminum siding, as well as vinyl siding and aluminum gutter systems.  If enough damage has been sustained to your property, your insurance company may be liable for the damages to your property.

Q: Why is hail and wind damage important to repair?

A: Large hail can travel at speeds up to or greater than 50mph.  Therefore, hail damage will reduce or completely eliminate the life expectancy of your roof, siding, and gutter system.  Hail damage to asphalt shingles can cause soft spots or bruising that may or may not be visible to the naked eye. Hail will often blast away the shingle granules on your roof exposing the unprotected fiberglass/asphalt base, leading to the deterioration of your roof.  In reference to aluminum siding and gutters, hail will generally pelt and dent these soft metals beyond reasonable repair.  As for vinyl products, such as vinyl siding, the exposed sides are often broken when struck by hail.  If any or all of these products on your home have been damaged by severe hail or wind, all warranties would be null and void.  Furthermore, one of the most damaging side effects of storm damage is that the value of your home or business has been compromised.

Q: What impact will filing a claim have on my insurance?

A: If your home is located within the "hit zone" of the storm, the insurance commission will declare your area a "National Catastrophe." Unfortunately, your rates will increase slightly whether you file a claim or not, since rate increases are usually determined by zip codes. One positive aspect, filing a claim due to the dated storm will be filed under the "Act of God" or "Catastrophe" portion of your policy, therefore, filing a claim will not count against your record.

Ameristar Exteriors is your complete roofing, siding, and gutters contractor. We understand that choosing the right contracting company can make all the difference in both the construction process and the final result of your exterior improvements.
