Our Hail Damage Repair Services

We focus on delivering thorough inspections, skilled repair work, and tailored solutions for multiple roof types. Our process helps protect your home and extend the roof's life after hail damage.

Inspection and Assessment

We start with a detailed inspection to find all hail impacts. Our trained team looks for dents, cracks, and broken shingles on your roof's surface. We also check flashing, gutters, and vents for damage.

Using advanced tools, we measure damage severity and identify hidden problems. This helps us give you a clear repair plan and accurate cost estimate. We don’t rely on guesswork.

Our inspections are careful and precise to avoid missing any damage that could cause future leaks or mold.

Professional Repair

We use proven repair methods to fix hail damage correctly the first time. For minor dents, we may apply sealants or replace a few shingles. Larger damage calls for shingle replacement or panel repairs.

We handle each repair step carefully, ensuring a secure fit and strong protection. Our team cleans debris and checks for water barriers to prevent leaks.

By following manufacturer standards, we maintain the roof’s warranty. We also use quality materials to match your roof’s existing look and strength.

Custom Solutions

Every roof type needs specific care after hail damage. We work with asphalt shingles, metal roofing, tile, and flat roofs.

For asphalt shingles, we replace broken or cracked shingles with matching pieces. Metal roofs may need dent removal or panel swaps. Tile roofs require careful tile replacement to avoid cracking nearby tiles.

Flat roofs get inspected for punctures and seams. We use materials suited for each roof’s design and environment conditions.

Our custom approach ensures your roof stays safe and durable after repairs.

Our Roof Hail Damage Repair Process

We focus on checking your roof closely for damage, documenting everything clearly, and following detailed repair steps to fix the roof properly. Our goal is to restore your roof’s safety and function with care.

Onsite Evaluation

We start by visiting your property to inspect the roof carefully. We look for dents, cracks, missing shingles, and any damage caused by hail. This step helps us understand the full extent of the problem.

During the inspection, we also check the gutters, flashing, and vents to see if they were affected. We use tools like binoculars and moisture meters to find hidden damage. Our team takes notes and photos to make sure we don’t miss anything.

Documentation and Reporting

After the evaluation, we create a detailed report with photos and descriptions of all damage found. This report helps you and your insurance company understand what repairs are needed.

We organize the information clearly, including the type of damage, affected areas, and the estimated repair costs. This keeps the process transparent and helps speed up any insurance claims. We also keep a copy for our records so we can refer back during repairs.

Step-by-Step Repair

Once approved, we begin repairs following a clear plan. We first remove any damaged shingles or roofing materials carefully to avoid further harm.

Next, we fix or replace underlayers like the roof deck or waterproof barriers if needed. Then, we install new shingles or panels that match your existing roof.

We also check and repair seals around vents and gutters to prevent leaks. Finally, we clean the job site, removing all debris so your roof looks good and protects your home properly.

Preventative Measures and Roof Maintenance

Routine Inspections After Hail Events

We recommend inspecting your roof within 24 to 48 hours after a hailstorm. Small dents or cracked shingles may not be obvious but can lead to leaks or structural problems later on.

During inspections, we look for:

Bruised or cracked shingles
Damaged flashing around vents and chimneys
Loose or missing granules on shingles
Dents on metal gutters and vents

Promptly addressing these issues helps avoid costly repairs. We can conduct inspections safely and identify any damage that needs fixing.

Long-Term Maintenance Recommendations

Regular maintenance strengthens your roof against hail and weather damage. We suggest scheduling a professional roof check at least twice a year, ideally before and after storm seasons.

Key maintenance steps include:

Cleaning gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage
Removing debris like leaves and branches
Checking for moss or algae that can weaken shingles
Applying roof treatments to protect against UV rays and moisture

Following these steps reduces wear and tear, improving your roof’s durability and performance over time.
