Home insurance policies do typically cover hail damage that is caused by storms. However, it is important to carefully read through your policy to ensure that it is not excluded. As long as it is not specifically excluded, hail damage may be covered. 

When Does Home Insurance Cover Hail Damage?

Home insurance will typically cover hail damage as long as your property is well-kept and cared for. If the hail left behind dents or dings, they the repairs will typically be covered by home insurance. 

When Does Home Insurance Not Cover Hail Damage?

Home insurance will not cover hail damage is the damaged item was in poor condition. For example, if your roof is already at the end of its lifespan, hail damage may not be covered because you need to replace your roof anyhow, or because the damage would not have been as severe if the roof was in good condition.
