Storm or hail damage to your gutters? Nationwide customers in Kansas City
If a KC storm damaged the gutters on your home and you have a homeowner's policy with Nationwide, here's what we do as a contractor and how a free written estimate fits into the process. Premier Gutters KC is a gutter installation contractor — we do not file, handle, or negotiate insurance claims.
You file your claim with Nationwide. We come out, document the damage with photos, and give you a free written, line-itemed estimate to submit to your adjuster.

Nationwide hail-damage questions homeowners ask in Kansas City
Plain-language answers to the most common questions we get from Nationwide customers across the KC metro — from Overland Park to Lee's Summit, Olathe, Liberty, Independence, Blue Springs, and Shawnee.
Does Nationwide typically cover hail damage to gutters in Kansas City?
Most standard Nationwide homeowner policies in Missouri and Kansas include coverage for hail and wind damage to gutters, downspouts, fascia, and soffit as part of the dwelling. Whether your specific policy covers it depends on the named perils, exclusions, and endorsements on your declarations page. Always check your policy with Nationwide directly — we're a contractor, not an insurance advisor.
Can I choose Premier Gutters KC as my contractor if I have
Yes. Homeowners in MO and KS have the legal right to choose their own contractor for any covered repair. Nationwide cannot require you to use a specific “preferred network” vendor. You hire the contractor, and your contractor works for you — not the insurer.
How do I get a written estimate to submit to Nationwide with my claim?
Call us at (816) 469-9563 or request a free estimate online. We'll come out within 24–72 hours of a storm, walk your roof and gutters, photograph every point of damage, and send you a written, line-itemed estimate. You forward that estimate to Nationwide when you file or as supporting documentation if you've already filed.
What's the typical Nationwide hail deductible on a KC homeowner policy?
Most KC-area Nationwide policies carry a wind/hail deductible separate from the standard all-perils deductible. Common ranges are ,000–,500, but some policies use a percentage-of-dwelling deductible (1%–2%) which can be significantly higher. Your declarations page lists your exact deductible. Confirm with Nationwide before assuming anything.
How long does a Nationwide hail claim take in Kansas City?
Typical timelines after a KC hail storm: filing to adjuster inspection takes 7–21 days; initial settlement issues 5–14 business days after inspection. Repairs can usually be scheduled within 1–2 weeks of you approving the settlement — most of our gutter installs are completed in a single day once we're scheduled.
What if Nationwide denies my hail claim or settles for less than the repair cost?
You have options. You can request a re-inspection by a senior Nationwide adjuster, invoke the appraisal clause in your policy, file a complaint with the Missouri Department of Commerce & Insurance or the Kansas Insurance Department, or hire a licensed public adjuster (they typically take 10–15% of any recovered amount). Premier Gutters KC is not a public adjuster — we cannot dispute the settlement for you.
Will filing a Nationwide hail claim raise my homeowner's rates?
Hail damage is generally treated as a non-fault, weather-event claim. Most carriers including Nationwide do not surcharge individual policies for a single weather claim. However, region-wide rates may rise after large storm events. This is a question for Nationwide or an independent insurance agent — not us.
