Some previous advice to avoid storm chasers is spot on. Many are fly by night and from out of the area and if they do a poor job you wil be unable to contact them after the fact to get possibly poor quality repairs done as they will now be in OK or Texas, etc.
We have been contacted by a number of salepeople and roofing crews from Texas and Oklahoma already today who want to work this storm under our name which we always decline but it shows how many out of staers will be flooding into the area within the next day or 2. If the comapny is not truly local do not use them and if the saleman has a funny accent but says he is local ask to see what state his DL is from.
If you have dents in your vehicle your roof is most likely damaged to the point that your insurance will pay for a new one.
Find a good reputable local general contractor who will look out for your interests
Make sure your contractor has lots of good reviews on Angies, home advisor, google reviews, yelp etc. before you sign with them. If they do not give you a 3 day right to cancel form with the contract they are in violation of MN statutes and the contract is not valid
I am a field supervisor for a highly reputable local general contractor and we do not storm chase. about a week after the hail our phone will start ringing when people become fed up with the storm chasers bugging them to death.
It looks like we will be doing storm restoration for the rest of this year and a bunch next year from this one storm
If you need any more info or just want to make sure that your ins company is treating you fairly feel free to shoot me a PM.
If you get tired of storm chasers ringing your bell and bothering you let me know and I will come by and drop a sign in your yard and they will avoid you like the plague.

The above is very, very sound advice…I would also add that a homeowner make sure to get an updated insurance certificate from any and all contractors working on their property…A workplace injury could fall back on the homeowner potentially if using an uninsured fly by night…
