Wheatline Exteriors · Gruver Junction & the hail belt · impact-rated walls since 2009
In hail country, the wall is an insurance document.
Wheatline hangs Class 4 impact-rated fiber cement and writes the scope in the adjuster’s own format — elevation by elevation, fastener schedule included, photographed from the ladder before anyone signs anything. The ledger below is last season, closed out and counted.
Wheatline writes the scope I would write myself if I could climb the ladder — measurement, cause, code, line by line, with the fastener schedule attached. When their document arrives, the claim is already half adjusted.

The hail rates, printed
Tear-off, wrap, flashings and the ladder photography are inside every line. The scope itself is free — it is how the number got honest in the first place.

Photograph
Every elevation, from the ladder, the morning after — the record that makes the rest of this list possible.
Scope
Measurement, cause and code, written in the carrier’s own format, with the fastener schedule attached.
Agree
You file it, we meet the adjuster on the wall, and nothing gets torn off until the number is agreed.
Hang
Class 4 board on the reinforced schedule, wrapped, flashed and sealed — then punched and swept.
Hail seasons, documented
The wall book
Six from last season’s book — four storm take-outs and two planned re-sides by owners who watched the neighbours’ claims and did the arithmetic. The captions name the storm where there was one.
Day 0 to punch
The calendar of a claim
Four dates, in writing, before the first ladder goes up. The only step we do not control is the carrier’s, and it is the one we document hardest.
Day 0
Ladder & camera
Every elevation photographed, the damage mapped, the tarp on if the wall is open. The record starts before the coffee cools.
Day 2
Scope to the carrier
Measurement, cause and code in the adjuster’s format, with the fastener schedule attached. You keep a copy; so does the file.
Weeks 1–2
Agreement & material
We meet the adjuster on the wall, the number is agreed, and the Class 4 order is placed against your colour the same day.
Week 3
Hang & punch
Tear-off, wrap, hang to gauge, seal, sweep and the twice-walked punch list. The warranty packet files in your name the week it passes.
The outfit, in figures
The June cell chewed the west elevation to pulp. Wheatline was on the ladder the next morning with a camera, wrote the scope in the carrier’s own format, and the check covered the full wall — not the paint-and-patch the first outfit proposed. Hung and sealed in nine days.
Our claim was denied on a technicality and two companies stopped returning calls. Wheatline re-sided the wall at their printed rate with ten percent off labor and documented everything so the next hail season is a formality. That is a different industry than the one we met first.
Before you call
The claim questions
The four every first call asks, storm or not. If yours is not here, the desk answers the number below from seven to six, belt-wide.
How does a hail claim actually work?
We photograph every elevation from the ladder, write the scope in the carrier’s format — measurement, cause, code, line by line — and hand it to you to file. We meet the adjuster on the wall, and nothing gets torn off until the number is agreed. The deductible is yours; the argument is ours.
What makes a panel Class 4?
It has passed the steel-ball impact test at the highest residential rating — the same hail stone, dropped twice, without cracking through. Paired with a reinforced fastening schedule it is the difference between a storm that scars and a storm that rinses off.
My claim was denied. Now what?
Happens more than the carriers admit. The wall still needs doing, so we do it at the printed rate with ten percent off labor this season, and we document the installation to claim standard anyway — the next storm files easy, and resale reads better for it.
Do you charge for the scope?
No — two hundred and fourteen last season, all free. The scope is how the number got honest: a fixed square-foot price backed by carrier-format documentation protects you and underwrites us at the same time.
