What Should You Do If You Suspect Hail Damage
If you suspect any sort of damage to your roof, follow these steps:
- Inspect your property: Look around the exterior of your home and assess the damage. Are there dents in your gutters? How is the siding of your house? If there is significant damage to other parts of your home, your roof probably has damage, too.
- Call a professional: Have a reliable roofing company do a hail damage roof inspection. The team at AmeriPro Roofing can safely evaluate your roof and give you an accurate account of the damage.
- Contact your insurance: Most homeowners insurance covers hail damage to roofs, so you’ll want to contact them to review the damage. Be sure to document the damage for the claim.
While your insurance company will perform its own inspection, we recommend you also have a professional roofing company perform an independent inspection to ensure proper diagnosis of the issues. At AmeriPro Roofing, in addition to inspecting your roof, we will also check vents and other fixtures that may require repair or replacement.
What Type of Damage Should You Look For?
The specific types of damage you should look for after a storm depends on the size of the hail that fell:
- ¾ inch: This size of hail can lead to damage like dislodged granules, paint scratches and small dents to vinyl siding or metal fixtures. It may not affect your roof, but it’s a good idea to contact a professional just to be sure.
- 1 inch: A hailstone that measures about an inch can bruise shingle underlayment and cause significant damage to gutters and siding. If the wind speed was high during the storm, you’ll want to have your roof checked for damage.
- 1-2 inches: A hailstone between 1 and 2 inches can cause severe damage with or without wind. If you discover your siding or gutters are broken or torn, contact a roofing company to assess the damage.
- 2 inches: Any hail measuring 2 inches or more is almost certain to cause damage. Torn siding, cracked windows and broken metal fixtures will indicate your roof is damaged as well.
If you don’t notice any damage to your roof or aren’t sure of the extent of the damage, our expert roofing inspectors know exactly what to look for and how to identify areas to improve. We’ll perform a complimentary roof inspection to let you know the extent of the hail damage to your roof shingles.
What’s The Most Common Hail Damage?
Hail damage restoration most commonly requires damaged shingles or panels to be replaced. Damaged shingles may have:
- Broken edges
- Bruises
- Punctures
- Granule loss
These may seem like minor cosmetic issues that only need simple repairs, but any broken shingles will need to be replaced to ensure the safety of your home. Any type of crack or tear will leave your roof exposed to the elements, accelerating aging and increasing the chances of water leaks.
