Hail claim in Minnesota - mesh screens made the difference

Had the same hail storm as my neighbors but my claim got approved for full roof replacement while theirs only got patches. The difference? I have mesh screens on my AC unit and gutters that showed the hail dent patterns clearly.

The adjuster used my screens as "hail indicators" to prove the size and intensity. Just a tip for Minnesota folks - sometimes random home features can help prove your claim.
