Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage

Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, particularly 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 save you thousands.



The Effects of Hail on Your Roof

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

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

Quick tip: Even minor hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.

How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail

Here are effective tips to minimize hail damage:

  • Install impact-resistant shingles built to withstand severe hail.
  • Ensure adequate roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
  • Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
  • Arrange regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.

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