Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage

Hailstorms are particularly harmful to your roof, especially in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even minor hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can reduce future repair expenses.



Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage

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

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

Did you know? Even minor hailstones can lead to significant problems if left unchecked.

How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail

Here are effective tips to mitigate hail damage:

  • Consider impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
  • Ensure proper 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 bolsters your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
