Ceiling water damage repair questions
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Colorado?
Generally yes, though many Colorado policies have separate wind and hail deductibles, often a percentage of the home's insured value.
Do Colorado contractors need a license?
Licensing is local. Check with your city or county, such as Denver's contractor licensing, and ask for insurance.
Will a water stain on the ceiling go away?
No. A stain means water got through, and the source needs fixing. After drying, the area needs stain-blocking primer and paint, or replacement if the drywall weakened.
Is a sagging ceiling dangerous?
Yes. Wet drywall can drop without warning. Keep people out from under it and relieve the water with a small hole into a bucket if it's safe.
