The 72-Hour Window: Why Timing Matters

After last month's surprise hail storm in North Phoenix and Cave Creek, we helped 47 homeowners file successful claims. The key? Acting within 72 hours. Insurance companies increasingly deny claims filed weeks after storms, arguing that damage could have occurred from other causes.
  • Document everything immediately (photos, videos, weather reports)
  • Call your insurance company within 24 hours
  • Get a professional inspection within 72 hours
  • Never sign AOB (Assignment of Benefits) forms from door-knockers
  • Keep all receipts for emergency repairs

Warning: Storm chasers often appear after major weather events. Always verify contractor licenses at azroc.gov. Vero Exteriors ROC #358383.
