Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage

Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, particularly in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even small hail damage can escalate long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps now can save you thousands.



Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage

Hail affects your roof in several ways, influenced by the material and storm severity:

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

Fun fact: Even minor hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.

How to Safeguard Your Roof from Hail

Here are useful tips to reduce hail damage:

  • Install impact-resistant shingles designed for severe hail.
  • Ensure proper roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
  • Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
  • Schedule regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.

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