Storm Damage & Insurance Restoration in Maryland
Dogwood Exteriors handles the entire insurance restoration process, from free damage inspection through adjuster coordination to completed installation. Serving Arnold, Annapolis, and all of Anne Arundel County. Most homeowners pay only their deductible.
Dogwood Exteriors provides storm damage inspection, insurance claim coordination, and full exterior restoration for Maryland homeowners in Arnold, Annapolis, Severna Park, Pasadena, and throughout Anne Arundel County. We inspect your roof, siding, and gutters for hail and wind damage, document everything your insurance company needs, and handle the full restoration from start to finish, including working directly with your adjuster. Most storm damage claims in Maryland result in a full or partial roof replacement covered by homeowner’s insurance, with most homeowners paying only their deductible.
If a storm has recently hit your neighborhood, you may have more damage than you can see from the ground. Hail leaves impact marks on shingles and siding that aren’t visible without a professional inspection, and Maryland’s position in the DC-Baltimore storm corridor means significant hail events happen several times per year.
Dogwood Exteriors has helped Maryland homeowners through the insurance restoration process dozens of times. We know how insurance adjusters evaluate claims, what documentation they require, and how to ensure you receive a fair settlement for legitimate damage. We don’t manufacture claims, but we make sure real damage doesn’t go uncompensated.

Frequently Asked Questions, Insurance Restoration
Real questions from Maryland homeowners
Does my homeowner’s insurance cover storm damage to my roof in Maryland?
Most standard homeowner’s insurance policies in Maryland cover sudden storm damage including hail, wind, and falling debris. They do not cover damage from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance. Dogwood Exteriors provides free storm damage inspections throughout Anne Arundel County with no obligation.
How much does storm damage restoration cost for a Maryland homeowner?
If your claim is approved, most Maryland homeowners pay only their deductible, typically $500 to $2,500. Dogwood’s estimate is matched to your insurance settlement. If damage is not covered, repair pricing: most roof repairs run $300–$1,500 and full replacements run $9,000–$20,000 for Maryland single-family homes.
How long does an insurance claim for roof damage take in Maryland?
From your first call to completed installation, most Maryland storm damage claims take 3–6 weeks. Insurance companies typically respond to a filed claim within 7–14 business days. Emergency tarping is available within 24–48 hours of your call if your roof is actively leaking.
Do I need to call my insurance company before calling a contractor?
No, calling a contractor first for a professional damage assessment is often the smarter move. It gives you documentation before the adjuster visits. Having Dogwood’s inspection report in hand when you file will strengthen your claim from the start.
Will filing a storm damage claim raise my homeowner’s insurance rates?
Weather-related claims such as hail and wind damage generally have less impact on premiums than at-fault claims. We’re happy to give you our honest read on whether the damage warrants a claim. We never encourage unnecessary claims.
What happens if the insurance adjuster misses damage on my roof?
Dogwood Exteriors attends your adjuster inspection and walks the property together to ensure nothing is missed. If the initial estimate is incomplete, we prepare a documented supplement requesting the estimate be reopened. Supplements often result in a larger settlement at no additional cost to you.
Can Dogwood Exteriors help if my insurance claim was denied?
Yes. We can review the denial reason with you and help you document and appeal the decision if appropriate. Not all denials are final. If the denial is legitimate, we’ll tell you honestly and provide straightforward repair or replacement pricing.
