NOT ALL HAIL DAMAGE IS EQUAL! ROOFING MATERIAL MATTERS.

As third generation roofers in the Colorado Front Range and Highlands Ranch area, we have seen more than our fair share of hail. Our extensive experience and observation have taught us that roofing materials hold up very differently under severe weather conditions. Hail damage to your roof can also vary from one section of roof to another based on how the storm hit. Some parts of your roof may have been impacted by direct wind and driving hail, while other parts could have been sheltered or received less direct impact, which causes less damage.

  • Hail damage to asphalt shingles: Granule damage is the most common problem following a hailstorm. Granules can be forced off the shingle or damaged by crushing or denting. Shingles can also be more obviously damaged and have cracked or broken tabs.
  • Hail damage to slate roofs: Hail impact can crack slates or may break slate tiles loose from their fasteners and then they may slide off your roof.
  • Hail damage to wood shingles: The impact from hail can crack or split wood shingles along the grain, which can cause entire shingles or partial pieces to break loose.

WE ACT QUICKLY TO REPAIR HAIL DAMAGE AND PREVENT ROOF LEAKAGE.

High winds that usually accompany hailstorms can cause blow-off damage that should be repaired immediately. It’s possible for Hail-damaged roof shingles not to present obvious problems (like leaks) for months or years, but it’s a best practice to call your insurance agent as soon as possible to find out if the damage qualifies for roof repair or roofing replacement.

HOW TO DEAL WITH ROOF HAIL DAMAGE ROOF AFTER A STORM

Did you know that Colorado’s Front Range is located right in the heart of “Hail Alley”? This region experiences more frequent large hail storms than any other part of North America — possibly even the world.

While peak hail season may be over in Denver, the hail damages left over from this summer’s storms are still apparent on many local cars and residential roofs. If you’ve noticed any leaks or missing tiles from your roof, chances are that you’re going to need some hail damage repairs before winter sets in. Here’s what you should know about the process and how to get the job done right.

  1. Beware of “Storm Chasers.”
    Lo and behold, right after a significant storm hits your neighborhood, a roofing company appears at your door. They say they’re doing work in the area and ask if you’d like them to take care of any hail damage while they’re around. Be careful: these may be less-than-reputable roofers who will perform shoddy work and then skip town, leaving you with a roof that might be in worse shape than it was to begin with. Never allow anyone to work on your home without offering proper credentials and insurance information and researching the company.
  2. Don’t Go Up Alone.
    You may be tempted to assess your roof’s hail damage by climbing up there yourself. This is a very dangerous idea, since storm damage may leave behind loose tiles or soft areas that could collapse with one false step. Tile roofs may have passed the test of time — being used in practically every region and climate throughout the world since 10,000 B.C. in Neolithic China — but they’re still prone to give way after a bad hailstorm. Leave the roof climbing to the professionals.
  3. Get an Insurance Inspection.
    It’s important to get a roof inspection and a detailed assessment from both your preferred roofing contractors andyour insurance company before you move ahead with any roof repairs. If you have insurance for hail damage, your insurance company will let you know exactly what and how much they’re willing to pay for. Make sure that amount corresponds with the work being done by the roofing company.

Hail damage might be a pain to deal with, but it’s simply a fact of life when living in and around Denver. Before the next storm hits, make sure your home is prepared for whatever nature may throw your way next.

5 STEPS TO DEALING WITH STORM DAMAGE TO YOUR ROOF

Every homeowner dreads waking up to damages after a bad storm — but preparation is, as always, the key to success. If disaster strikes your home, know how to safely survey the damage and take the steps you need to get your repairs fixed as soon as possible. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to dealing with potential storm damage to your roof.

  1. Check inside for leaks.

    Start by assessing the inside of your home, particularly in the attic. Look for any water leaks or any visible rays of light shining through the ceiling where it shouldn’t be. You want to protect your home from any potential interior damages, too.

  2. Check the ground.

    Look around your yard for any signs of storm damage, including broken tiles or shingles that might have fallen off as a result of wind or hail damage.

  3. Check the gutters.

    Next, it’s time to take a look at parts of your house itself. The gutters are an easy place to identify any dents or cracks, which should give you an idea of how badly the roof systems themselves got hit. Shingles and debris may also accumulate in the gutters.

  4. File an insurance claim.

    If you notice damages, talk with your insurance company about filing a claim as soon as possible. If you’re able, also document any storm damages. A quick filing can help ease the costs of roof repairs and get your house back in shape sooner.

  5. Find a good roofing company.

    Don’t be tempted to try to walk out on your roof by yourself if you suspect storm damage. Find an experienced roofing contractor to survey the area for you. Filing an insurance claim before you hire a roofer will give you a better sense of how much you can spend on repairs. Bear in mind that most roofers charge for their work in squares or every 10×10 foot patch of roof. The average-sized roof has between 22 and 26 squares, which will cost between $1,000 and $4,000 to fully replace and between $2,000 to $8,500 to have installed professionally. Be sure to know what your insurance will cover before you accept an estimate from a roofing company.

Dealing with storm damages to your home doesn’t need to be stressful. Have a plan at the ready to assess the situation and get the help you need to keep your home safe and secure.

FAQ: WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH METAL ROOFING?

Many homeowners are already familiar with the idea of using tiles or shingles for residential roofs. But one of the fastest-growing markets in the roofing business today is metal. Many people understandably have a lot of questions about metal roofing, so we’ve put together a quick list of Frequently Asked Questions — and answers — about some of the reasons why you might want to consider metal for your next roof.

What does a metal roof cost compared to other roof systems?
When it comes to a project that’s as large and expensive as a new roof, cost is always the first question on people’s minds. Most metal roofing materials are comparable in price to tile, which means they’re more expensive than asphalt shingles, but less expensive than slate. However, metal roofs also have an incredibly long life expectancy: some as long as 50 years, so it may be the only roof you ever need to buy.

Will a metal roof protect my house from hail damage?
Yes. Metal roofing materials are one of the most trusted types of impact resistant roofs. They won’t dent or fall off from hail damage, even in Colorado’s wacky weather.

Is it eco-friendly?
Metal roofs almost always contain at least 25% recycled content, and they’re recyclable at the end of their lifespan, too. Moreover, many homeowners can reduce their indoor heating or cooling costs by switching to an Energy Star-certified metal roof compared to tile or asphalt.

Will it match the look of my home?
Metal roofing materials come in a wide range of colors and styles that mimic the look of traditional tile. On the other hand, if you want to go bold with your home exterior, metal can achieve a very contemporary look that other materials can’t match.

A metal roof may not be right for every home, but there are plenty of good reasons to consider it if you’re in the market for a roofing upgrade. Light, durable, and affordable, metal may just be the roofing choice of the future. If you’re still left wondering whether metal could be the right fit for your home, don’t hesitate to contact us to answer all of your questions.
