On Sunday March 16, the Triad area of North Carolina experienced a sudden hail storm with hail ranging from one to two inches in diameter. The storm came on suddenly and brought unfortunate damages to siding, roofs, gutters and cars all throughout my neighborhood — a small town just north of Greensboro, North Carolina.
The very next morning, I noticed the neighborhood was flooded with service contractors providing estimates to homeowners. Three different companies knocked on my door that Monday, all of which with different pitches about why their service was the right choice and what kind of “insurance discounts” they can give me for simply putting their sign in my yard.
