About Hail Damage

For homeowners, it is not always easy to tell, from the ground, if you have hail damage. It takes the trained eye of a knowledgeable roofing professional to determine the extent of the damage. Hail damage may seem nonthreatening and harmless, however, that is untrue.

Hail damage loosens granules that protect your roof, leaving it susceptible to further damage. Hail jeopardizes the integrity of the entire roof. Over time, the lost granules leads to more roof deterioration, and ultimately, threatens everything beneath it.

That is why it is so important to let a trained professional, familiar with hail damage, inspect your roof and help you get it replaced. This gives you an uncompromised roof and peace of mind. If you suspect you may have damage, your roof has missing shingles, you see other roofs in your area being replaced, or storms have passed through your area, call us immediately and let us help you today!

What You Need to Know About Wind Damage:

Wind damage may not always be visible from the ground. Shingles can be lifted from strong winds and loose the ability to reseal. Shingle edges are designed to seal to the shingles below when installed and the ambient temperature is warm enough.

Strong winds can break that seal and cause the shingle to lift up and fracture during the wind event. It is these fractures that will eventually cause the shingle tab to break off and leave a void. Shingle fractures and the inability for shingles to reseal, due to wind, is an insurance loss. Shingle fractures are difficult, if not impossible, to see from the ground. Shingles that are missing are usually an indication of wind damage and the result of a wind storm event.

Insurance companies cannot penalize a single insured for filing a claim due to a wind storm event. If it happened to other people, then it is considered a wind storm event.
