Hail Damage Roof Repair
Hail bruises shingles in ways you cannot see from the ground. A proper inspection protects your claim and your roof.
- Hail impact mapping on every slope
- Soft metal and vent damage check
- Repair or full replacement guidance
- Straight answers on what it costs
Hail damage is easy to miss. It shows up as small bruises where the protective granules were knocked off, and those bruises turn into leaks years later.
Signs you may need this
- Dents in soft metal: gutters, downspouts, vents, air conditioner fins
- Dark spots on shingles where the surface grit is gone
- Piles of granules at the bottom of downspouts
- Cracked or split shingles that were not loose before
- Dents or dings on a skylight frame or chimney cap
How the visit goes
1. Start with the metal
Soft metal shows hail first. If the gutters and vents are dented, the shingles took hits too.
2. Check shingle surfaces
The roofer looks for bruising: spots where the granules are knocked off and the mat underneath is exposed.
3. Mark and count
Hits get marked and counted by roof section, because that is how damage is measured and reported.
4. Repair or replace, explained
A few hits in one area can be repaired. Bruising across the whole roof is a different conversation, and the roofer will say which one you have.
What changes the price
We do not post prices, because a roof nobody has looked at cannot be priced. These are the things that make the job bigger or smaller.
- • How much of the roof shows hits, not just how bad the worst spot is
- • Age and type of the shingles
- • Whether vents, gutters and flashing also need replacing
- • Roof height, pitch and access
- • Whether the same shingle is still available
Questions homeowners ask
- My roof looks fine. Can it still be damaged?
- Yes. Hail bruises are hard to see from the ground. That is why they get missed until a leak starts.
- Do you know if hail hit my house?
- Public weather records show where hail was reported. They do not show what happened to your shingles. Only someone on the roof can tell you that.
- Is hail damage always an insurance claim?
- Not always. It depends on your policy and how much damage there is. We document what we find, and your insurer decides.
- Should I sign anything at the front door?
- No. Get the inspection, get the photos, get the price in writing, and take your time.
Straight talk: We do not claim your roof has hail damage from a map or a news story. That claim needs someone on the roof, and it stays unknown until then.
