The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage

Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.



How Hail Damages Your Roof

Hail damages your roof in multiple ways, based on the material and storm severity:

  • Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath open to UV damage.
  • Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, reducing structural integrity.
  • Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.

Did you know? Even minor hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.

Steps to Protect Your Roof

Here are practical tips to mitigate hail damage:

  • Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
  • Ensure proper roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
  • Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
  • Arrange regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.

Following these measures bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
