Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage

Hailstorms are particularly harmful 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 early can help you avoid costly repairs.



The Effects of Hail on Your Roof

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

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

Did you know? Even tiny hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.

Steps to Protect Your Roof

Here are effective tips to mitigate hail damage:

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

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