Hail Damage: Roof Replacements

Written By Derek Klemens

If you live in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Walworth, Racine, Kenosha or Washington Co, you know last season brought some of the heaviest hail we’ve seen in years. Homeowners across the area are now discovering what roofing contractors already know hail damage doesn’t always show up right away, but it can seriously shorten the life of your roof.

When hail strikes shingles, it can:

  • Knock off protective granules that shield your roof from UV rays.

  • Leave dents, bruises, and cracks that weaken the shingle’s integrity.

  • Compromise flashing, vents, and gutters.

These small issues turn into roof leaks and costly interior damage if left unchecked. That’s why hail damage roof inspections are so important after every major storm.

Insurance companies often require claims to be filed within 6–12 months of a storm. If you haven’t scheduled a storm damage roof inspection, you could be leaving money on the table.
