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 early can reduce future repair expenses.



Understanding the Impact of Hail Damage

Hail can harm your roof in several ways, depending on the material and storm severity:

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

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

Steps to Protect Your Roof

Here are useful tips to minimize hail damage:

  • Use impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
  • Ensure proper roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
  • Trim overhanging branches that might increase storm-related damage.
  • Plan for regular inspections with experienced roofing contractors.

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