Unseen Expenses of Hail Damage
Hailstorms pose a major threat to your roof, notably in the Midwest, where extreme weather is frequent. Even seemingly insignificant hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.
The Effects of Hail on Your Roof
Hail can harm your roof in various ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath at risk of UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, enabling moisture infiltration.
Quick tip: Even small hailstones can cause serious damage if left unchecked.
Preventing Hail Damage to Your Roof
Here are practical tips to minimize hail damage:
- Install impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure adequate roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that could worsen storm-related damage.

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