At N2Roofing, our knowledgeable staff is dedicated to helping you identify and repair any hail damage on your roof. Hail storms can cause significant damage to your roof, making it crucial to assess the extent of the damage and take the necessary steps to repair it.
Identifying hail damage can be complex, but it’s important to know if your roof needs repair. Insurance companies often cover hail damage, so it’s important to determine the timing of the damage and if it’s a result of multiple incidents. Our team can guide you through the process of assessing your roof and determining if it needs repair.
Hail damage can impact a range of surfaces on your roof, including soft metal surfaces, vinyl trim, and flashing. Hail damage can range from minor bruising to more serious issues such as loss of granules, wood splitting, and damage to the asphalt underlayer.
The slope of your roof and the direction of the storm can play a role in the extent of hail damage to your roof. Upright impacts from hail can cause the most damage, so it’s important to consider the hail resistance of your shingles when installing a new roof. Newer shingles tend to perform better in terms of hail resistance, so it’s a good idea to upgrade if you have an older roof.
Hail causes over a billion dollars in damage each year, with a significant portion impacting roofs. The ridge cap of your roof is often the most vulnerable area, as it’s flat and can take a direct hit from hail. Checking for dents on the ridge cap is essential in assessing hail damage on your roof. You should also look for missing parts of the rooftop asphalt and staining on shingles, as these can indicate damage from hail. Sometimes dents from hail may not be immediately visible, so it’s important to feel for small depressions in the surface of your roof.
