Hail Damage Estimates are included with Your Hail Repair Plan
At Dents By Hand, we provide detailed hail damage estimates as part of our Hail Repair Plan, ensuring you have the documentation needed to support the insurance supplement process for the repair costs. Since 1996, our family-owned shop has been a trusted partner for hail damage repairs, serving clients in Boulder, Broomfield, and the Denver metro area. Our comprehensive estimates, supported by over 100 photos, deliver the accuracy required to address the significant underestimation often seen in initial insurance assessments, leading to High-Quality Repairs that restore your vehicle to its pre-storm condition.
What Are Hail Damage Estimates?
Hail Damage Estimates are thorough, photo-supported assessments included with our Hail Repair Plan when you choose Dents By Hand for your hail damage repairs. Unlike our free Hail Evaluations, which provide a ballpark cost range, these estimates are detailed reports used to support the insurance supplement process. Initial insurance assessments often miss significant damage, estimating repair costs at about one-third of the actual amount needed. We document the dents with over 100 photos, capturing the full extent of the damage to ensure your insurance claim reflects the true cost of the repairs needed to make your vehicle look as if the hailstorm never happened.

Our Hail Damage Estimating Process
Our estimating process is meticulous and designed to maximize your insurance claim:
- Start with a Free Hail Evaluation: Book online or visit our Boulder or Broomfield location for a quick assessment to determine the best next steps for your hail damage repair.
- Initiate Your Hail Repair Plan: After the Hail Evaluation, obtain a claim number from your insurer, then drop off your vehicle at our shop and sign the necessary paperwork to process your claim. We’ll craft a storm-specific plan tailored to your vehicle, aiming for a zero out-of-pocket solution.
- Scope Documentation: We circle each dent and other damage using water-based Posca markers with high visibility, helping remote adjusters identify the hail dents accurately during their insurance review.
- Photo File Creation: We document the damage with over 100 photos, capturing every dent, cracked paint, or damaged molding to support the insurance supplement process and ensure all repair costs are covered.
- Insurance Quality Estimate: Using the same industry-standard estimating software as insurance companies, we build a detailed estimate to provide a complete report for your claim.
- Insurance Negotiations: We work with your insurer to secure approval for the full scope of repairs, addressing any discrepancies from the initial assessment.
