Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage

Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.



How Hail Damages Your Roof

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

  • Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
  • Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
  • Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, leading to moisture infiltration.

Fun fact: Even small hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.

How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail

Here are practical tips to mitigate hail damage:

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

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