Know which hail damage leads are worth assessment time
Ask property owners about damaged areas, active water leaks, and insurance claim status upfront, and require photos of the roof and siding before a crew ever gets scheduled.
The exact intake your hail damage restoration leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Hail Damage Restoration — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified hail damage restoration lead should tell you
Assessment of hail impact to roofing, siding, gutters, and windows to determine damage extent, urgency, and insurance status before a crew is dispatched.
- Property Was Affected By
- Areas Show Visible Hail
- There Active Water Leaking
- Did Hail Damage Occur
- Have Authority Approve Repair
- Filed Or Started Insurance
The questions your team needs answered
Every hail damage restoration intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of property was affected by the hail damage? | Property type distinguishes a quick residential estimate from a larger commercial or multi-unit scoping job. |
| Which areas show visible hail damage? | Roof, siding, gutter, and window damage are weighted far higher than vehicle-only hits, keeping cosmetic-only leads from scoring as high-value jobs. |
| Is there active water leaking into the property right now? | An active water leak carries the highest urgency weight in the catalog and should move a lead to the front of the queue. |
| When did the hail damage occur? | How recently the hail hit affects both scheduling urgency and how much runway remains on the insurance filing window. |
| Do you have authority to approve repair work on this property? | Whether the respondent can approve repairs determines if the lead is assessment-ready or needs an owner or manager contacted first. |
| Have you filed or started an insurance claim for this damage? | Insurance claim status signals whether the job will run through an adjuster or as a self-pay repair, which changes scope and timeline expectations. |

Built for hail damage restoration workflows
| Cliont capability | Hail Damage Restoration application |
|---|---|
| Answer weighting | Automatically scores roof, siding, gutter, and window damage higher than vehicle-only hail hits, so crews aren't dispatched to cosmetic-only leads. |
| Urgency flagging | An active water leak answer triggers an urgent flag so those leads surface ahead of cosmetic hail claims in your CRM. |
| Photo and document upload | Collects roof, siding, and gutter close-ups plus insurance claim documentation before an assessment is booked, cutting down on wasted site visits. |
| Conditional routing | When the authority-to-approve answer is 'no,' the intake flags the lead for owner or property-manager follow-up before marking it assessment-ready. |
Common hail damage restoration lead scenarios
Active Roof Leak After Storm
Roof is actively leaking within 48 hours of the storm and the homeowner has authority to approve repairs — this activates the intake's urgency flag and pushes the lead into your CRM as same-day priority.
Commercial or Multi-Unit Property
A commercial or multi-unit building reports hail damage to the roof and siding — the intake captures the property type and damaged-area mix so bigger jobs are flagged for a scoping visit rather than a quick residential estimate.
Uncertain Damage Extent
The property owner picks 'Not sure' when describing where the hail hit — the intake still scores this as high-value since undiagnosed damage often needs a professional look, and the assessment gets scheduled to confirm scope.
Renter Without Approval Authority
A tenant fills out the intake for a rental unit and doesn't have authority to approve repair work — the lead gets flagged for owner or property-manager follow-up before it moves to assessment-ready in your CRM.
Old Damage, Vehicles Only
Damage occurred over a month ago and only vehicles or outdoor items were affected — the intake reflects the lower weighting on this answer combination so it doesn't compete with active-leak leads for crew time.

Hail Damage Restoration lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake prioritize leads with active water leaking into the property?
The active-leak question carries the highest urgency weight in the catalog, so a 'yes' answer pushes the lead to the top of your queue instead of waiting in a general inbox.
What happens if the property owner hasn't filed an insurance claim yet?
The intake records where they stand — claim filed, planning to file, not planning to, or not sure — without disqualifying the lead, so you can see which jobs are insurance-driven versus self-pay before the assessment.
Does the intake check whether the person filling it out can actually approve the work?
Yes — the authority-to-approve question is weighted separately, so a tenant or non-decision-maker gets flagged for follow-up rather than routed straight to your crew's assessment calendar.
Can the intake tell the difference between roof damage and cosmetic hail hits on vehicles?
The damage-location question weights roof, siding, gutters, and windows far higher than 'vehicles or outdoor items only,' so cosmetic-only hits don't score the same as structural damage.
How does the timing of the hail event affect scoring?
The intake captures whether damage happened within 48 hours, a week, a month, or longer, which helps your team weigh urgency against insurance filing windows when triaging leads.
Is this intake built for commercial hail claims too, or just homes?
The property-type question covers residential, rental, commercial, and multi-unit buildings, so the same intake routes a strip-mall roof alongside a single-family home without losing that context.
