Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage

Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, especially in the Midwest, a hotspot for severe storms. Even minor 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 various ways, based on the material and storm severity:

  • Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
  • Metal Roofing: Dents and compromised fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
  • Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to 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 reduce hail damage:

  • Use impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
  • Ensure regular roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
  • Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
  • Plan for regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.

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