Our Mission

Closing the information gap

Storm damage data has always existed, but it was locked behind paywalls and buried in government databases. Insurance companies had it. Roofing contractors had it. Homeowners didn't.

HailScore exists to close that gap. When homeowners understand their hail exposure, they make better decisions about roof maintenance, insurance coverage, and contractor selection. That transparency protects families and holds the industry accountable.

The Data

9 sources. One score.

Every HailScore report is built from verified government and scientific data. Our primary source is the NOAA Severe Weather Data Inventory, cataloging hail detections from the national NEXRAD radar network. Over 5.9 million individual records, every US state covered.

The scoring algorithm weighs five factors: hail frequency near your property, storm recency, hailstone size, cumulative damage potential, and proximity to each recorded event. Beyond radar data, eight additional sources assess environmental vulnerability.

Why HailScore exists

Read Alex's full story

I'm Alex Chicilo. I help run operations at a Colorado roofing company, and HailScore started on job sites.

Three storm seasons of climbing roofs taught me something the data industry hadn't caught up to: the tools homeowners, adjusters, and contractors use to answer “was this property actually hit?” are slow, expensive, and frequently wrong. NOAA's finalized records lag 60 to 90 days. Storm-cell radar tools were built for meteorologists, not property-level decisions. And the proprietary “storm scores” sold by incumbents don't publish their methodology, so nobody downstream can actually verify the answer. Not the homeowner, not the adjuster, not the carrier.

“The methodology is published in full because the whole point is that you should be able to check the work.”

I came to roofing from a business operations background. When I saw the data gap, I started teaching myself the stack: PostGIS, the NOAA MRMS feed, the NEXRAD archive, scoring calibration. Then I built what's now HailScore.

HailScore is a Colorado company. I'm the founder, the sole engineer and designer, and most days I'm also still on a roof.
