Repairing Hail Damage? Here’s What Homeowners and Vendors Need to Know

hail raining down on a rooftop

A recent hailstorm has left many residents in need of roof and vehicle repairs, prompting an influx of vendors offering their services. While numerous reputable businesses are ready to help, it is important for homeowners and vehicle owners to stay informed and avoid scams.

The following resources will help both residents and vendors navigate the repair process:

Temporary Vendor Setups

Vendors planning to set up tents or temporary structures for automobile repairs or estimates must obtain an Itinerant Vendor Permit. These vendors are only permitted in certain zoning districts. Those wishing to temporarily use an existing building must complete a Change of Tenant Application.

Solicitor’s Permit

Residents should request to see a city-issued Solicitor’s Permit from anyone offering roof or vehicle repair services door-to-door. All businesses and individuals who solicit services for money must be licensed by the city.

Roof Repair Guidelines

A building permit is required for roof repairs and must be visible from the street before work begins. Homeowners should verify that the contractor has obtained the necessary permits and is following the required inspection processes. Withhold final payment until city inspections are completed to ensure the work complies with city codes.
