Imagine your local driving range on a busy Saturday afternoon. All those people hitting all those balls in a very short amount of time. Now imagine them driving those golf balls at your roof and you may get a good idea of how a severe hail storm can wreak havoc on roof shingles and other roof elements.

Your biggest concern immediately following a severe thunderstorm with hail may be whether the damage to your roof is causing interior leaks. Keep in mind that there could be damage which doesn’t cause a leak right away, but could start to leak later. It’s better to have your roof inspected than to wait and find out later that you have significant hail damage.

We provide you with critical feedback that lets us recommend the best repair or replacement solution for your home.

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.

THE 5 MOST DAMAGING STORMS IN COLORADO HISTORY

Every roofing company in Denver has witnessed their fair share of storm damage, but sometimes Mother Nature really likes to outdo herself.

Case in point: a new report from the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association in Greenwood Village now says that last month’s hailstorm in Colorado Springs was the sixth-most damaging natural event in the history of the state. The storm caused more than $352.8 million in claims on residential roofs, commercial buildings, and vehicles combined.

What could be worse or more expensive than that? Across the country, roofing contractors pulled in about $46 billion in revenue in 2014, which must mean that we’re doing something right to protect our homes and valuables. Still, we decided to take a look back at the top five most damaging storms in the history of the state. Not surprisingly, hail in Denver makes a recurring appearance.

#5: June 2009 Hailstorms

A series of hailstorms and wind rocked the Denver area for nine days, producing a total of $353.3 million in car damage, roof repairs, and more.

#4: June 2013 Black Forest Fire

Over 500 homes were destroyed in the largest-ever wildfire in Colorado history, with $420.5 million filed in insurance claims. Fire and smoke damage results in an average repair cost of $4,172 per home, which is more than water damage ($2,386) but less than wind damage ($5,757 to $10,000).

#3: June 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire

Though the Waldo Canyon fire was smaller in area than the Black Forest fire a year later, it resulted in higher amounts of damage: $584 million, according to the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.

#2: July 20, 2009 Denver Hailstorm

It’s hard to forget this one. A giant storm over the northwest Denver metropolitan area came on rather suddenly, producing tornado-level wind gusts up to 80MPH and golf ball-sized hail. Damages to cars, residential roofs, and commercial buildings: an incredible $767.6 million.

#1: July 11, 1990 Denver Hailstorm

At the time, the insurance damage costs for this historic storm — it produced lethal softball-sized pellets of hail — totaled $625 million. Adjusted for inflation to present-day dollars, that’s over $1.1 billion.

Even under normal circumstances, all residential roofs should be inspected once or twice a year. What’s a “normal circumstance” in Denver? That’s a little bit harder to define.

WANT TO AVOID ROOF REPAIRS? FOLLOW THESE MAINTENANCE TIPS

There are few things more important to the safety and well-being of your family than the roof over their heads — quite literally. We often take our roof systems for granted until something bad happens: a leak, a hole, a dent, or missing shingles.

Quality roofing can last a lifetime, as long as you’re willing to actually look after it. Taking the time and minimal costs needed to perform regular maintenance roof repairs can save you from potentially severe roof damage that might be both costly and dangerous down the road.

Here are a few key tips to follow if you want a roof that lasts.

  • Regular Inspections

    Under normal circumstances, you should have your roof inspected once or twice a year by a professional. Schedule one for the fall and one for the spring. Experienced residential roofing companies will know where and how to look for weak spots or eroding surfaces that could be fixed or strengthened before the winter snow or summer thunderstorms hit.

  • Clean Gutters

    It’s everyone’s least favorite chore, but it’s a necessary one: not just for proper water drainage, but because the build-up of debris can cause extra weight on your roof. Additionally, clear gutters prevent moisture from causing mildew or mold on the roofing material itself, which can cause damage.

  • Trimmed Trees

    Overhanging branches can pose a real hazard to your roof. Everyone in Denver knows how one aggressive wind or hail storm can knock a branch right off even the healthiest of trees. If that branch lands on your roof, you could be looking at an entire roof replacement, not just small roof repairs.

  • Impact Resistance

    Speaking of hail… If you are in the market for a new roof, however, think about opting for an impact resistant roofing material. This added protection is a must-have for high-risk hail areas like Colorado. The peace of mind is worth the upfront costs — and many insurance companies will offer you a discount for having it installed.

When it comes to a structure as important as your roof, don’t procrastinate. Putting off small roof repairs could snowball into big problems. Keep an eye on your roof with regular inspections and care, and it’ll look after you for a lifetime.
