Storms hit your properties. You don't chase anything.
Property managers and real estate investors across the Twin Cities use the Repair King Storm Response System so the next hail storm is a report in their inbox, not a week of phone calls. See how it works in a 15-minute call.
What happens to your properties the next time hail hits?
There's a system for that, and it's not "wait for tenants to call." We don't post all of it here. It works best when we look at your portfolio, so book a short call and we'll walk you through it.
Were any of your addresses under these storms?
Twin Cities-area storms with 1″+ hail in the last 12 months. Source: Local weather and meteorology reports. Hail damage isn't always visible from the ground, and for hail many Minnesota policies set a one-year window (Minn. Stat. § 65A.26; check the "Suit Against Us" section of each policy).
After the next storm, what will you tell your owners?
Every storm exposes two kinds of management companies: the ones with a plan, and the ones reacting without one.
After every major storm, your owners and boards start asking questions. Most management companies have no structured answer, because they have no system. That silence is a liability.
Is this for me, or only for big portfolios?
If you're responsible for more than one roof, it's for you. One rental or three hundred doors.
"I own with partners. Can everyone see the same report?"
Yes. A lot of investors own through an LLC or a group. Every storm report is dated, photo-documented and property-by-property, so your partners, your lender and your property manager all see the same facts. Nobody has to take anyone's word for it.
- One report, every partner. Forward one link to the whole group.
- Every door on watch. Single-family rentals up to multi-unit buildings.
- Buying another property? Check its hail history first.
- Tenants stay happy. Repairs scheduled around them, with before-and-after photos.
Own or manage commercial property?
A new roof on an office, retail, industrial or other nonresidential building can qualify for Section 179 expensing: deducted the year it's placed in service instead of over 39 years. Run your numbers in 60 seconds.
2026 limit $2,560,000; phase-out begins at $4,090,000 of qualifying purchases (IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32). Roofs on nonresidential buildings are "qualified real property" under IRC §179(e). Apartments and other residential rental buildings generally don't qualify. The deduction can't exceed business taxable income. Not tax advice; your CPA confirms eligibility.
Year-one deduction on a new commercial roof
~$10,000 = $400,000 ÷ 39 years, straight-line, before the mid-month convention.
So what actually happens when hail crosses one of my properties?
Here's the outline. The details (how we watch, how we prioritize, what the report contains) we walk through on the call.

Your addresses are on our storm watch for hail and damaging wind.

How do I know if it's storm damage or just an old roof?
Not every roof problem is storm damage. Our reports show which is which.
We document the evidence and the conditions we find. Decisions about coverage and claims stay between the property owner, their agent and their insurer.
Let's walk one of your properties.
No cost. No obligation. One property. We document what we find and hand you the report. If there's nothing there, you've got documentation. If there's something there, you'll want to know.
What does it cost me if we miss it?
When storm damage goes undocumented, the problem doesn't go away. It shows up later as leaks, capital expenses and hard questions from owners.
Damage found too late.
Issue: hail damage discovered months after the storm; no dated documentation from the time of the event.
Owners ask why it wasn't caught.
Can I just send you my address list?
Yes. Send it, and we'll check it before the call.
Upload a spreadsheet, PDF or even a photo of your property list, or paste the addresses. We put each one on storm watch. When hail or damaging wind crosses a property, you get a storm report, branded for you if you want it.
- Excel, CSV, PDF, Word or a photo all work
- No cost to enroll, no contract
- Storm reports with your name on them
- A real person reviews your list, not a bot

- How storm watch works for every address
- What triggers an alert, and who hears first

Book your Storm Response call
Name, best number, and how many properties you manage. We'll call you to lock in a 15-minute time.
What else do managers ask before booking?
What does the Storm Response program cost?
Enrollment and storm monitoring are free for partners. Inspections after a storm are free. You only pay for work you approve.
How many properties can you monitor?
From a single building to large multi-family and HOA portfolios. Send us your address list and we'll set it up.
Do you handle the insurance claim?
No. Claim and coverage decisions are between the property owner, their agent and their insurer. We inspect, document and explain the conditions we find, and we can be on site to show an adjuster what we documented when the owner asks.
Who is this for?
Property managers and real estate investors first: landlords, investor groups and LLCs, plus HOA boards and commercial owners who want one contractor watching their Twin Cities properties.
What happens on the 15-minute call?
We learn how many properties you're responsible for and where they are, walk you through how the Storm Response System works, show you a sample report, and tell you honestly whether it fits. No contract, no obligation.
