How Bad is the Damage?
It's crucial for homeowners not to assume their property escaped unscathed following a severe hailstorm. Following such an event, we advise utilizing our hail damage roof inspection checklist to evaluate your roof's condition. Even in cases where there's no apparent damage to your roof or surroundings, hidden issues can remain undetected without the expertise of an experienced roofing contractor. Normally, leaks won't manifest immediately after a hailstorm, and it may take several months for hail damage to progress into noticeable leaks.

Long-Term Impacts of Storm and Hail Damage
Neglected storm and hail damage pose substantial long-term risks to your roof and residence. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may result in leaks, fostering water damage within your home, including mold proliferation and structural decay. As time passes, the roof's integrity may diminish, diminishing its capacity to safeguard your home during subsequent storms and potentially necessitating more expensive repairs or even a complete roof replacement.

What Does Storm or Hail Damage Look Like?
Damage caused by storms or hail can display in diverse forms, contingent upon the storm's intensity and the roofing material utilized. Typical indications comprise absent or fractured shingles, indentations on metal roofing, fractured or bruised asphalt shingles, and harm to roof fixtures such as vents and gutters. Hail damage frequently exhibits as dimples or small craters on shingles, whereas wind damage may lead to raised or entirely dislodged shingles. Prompt recognition of these signs is paramount for forestalling additional harm to your roof and residence.

Be careful of roofers who knock door to door after a storm
Regrettably, some individuals target Houston residents in the aftermath of storms for exploitative purposes. Prior to engaging a roofing contractor, ensure their locality and reputable standing in the community. Opt for a trusted roofing contractor who will support you rather than exploit you during challenging times.
If uncertainties persist regarding your roof's safety and overall state, we encourage you to reach out and schedule a complimentary roof assessment. Through this evaluation, we can assist you in discerning the precise impact of a recent hailstorm on your roof and outline necessary repairs.
