The Hidden Costs of Hail Damage

Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, notably in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even small hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps in advance can reduce future repair expenses.



Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage

Hail can harm your roof in multiple ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:

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

Did you know? Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.

Steps to Protect Your Roof

Here are useful tips to mitigate hail damage:

  • Consider impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
  • Ensure adequate 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.

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