Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage

Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. 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 can harm your roof in various ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:

  • Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss exposing the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
  • Metal Roofing: Dents and loosened fasteners, affecting structural integrity.
  • Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.

Did you know? Even small hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.

Steps to Protect Your Roof

Here are effective tips to reduce hail damage:

  • Install impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
  • Ensure adequate roof maintenance, including fixing loose tiles or shingles.
  • Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
  • Plan for regular inspections with qualified roofing contractors.

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