Hailstorms can be unpredictable and cause significant damage to your home’s roof. Even small hailstones can weaken roofing materials over time, leading to leaks and costly repairs. At Blues Crews Roofing, we want to help homeowners understand what steps to take after a hailstorm to protect their homes and ensure their roofs remain in top condition. Here’s what you need to do if your roof has been impacted by hail.

1. Inspect Your Roof for Signs of Hail Damage

After a hailstorm, conduct a visual inspection of your roof from the ground. Look for:

• Dented or bruised shingles
• Granule loss on asphalt shingles
• Cracks or breaks in tiles or metal roofing
• Damaged flashing or vents
• Loose or missing shingles

If you notice any of these issues, further inspection by a professional may be necessary.

2. Check Your Gutters and Surroundings

Hail damage isn’t always obvious on the roof itself, so checking other areas of your property can provide clues. Look for:

• Dents in gutters, downspouts, and siding
• Hail impact marks on fences, decks, or outdoor furniture
• Shingle granules accumulating in gutters or at the base of downspouts

These signs indicate that your roof may have sustained damage that requires attention.

3. Look for Interior Signs of Roof Leaks

Even if your roof looks fine from the outside, damage may have caused hidden leaks.
Check inside your home for:

• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Damp spots or mold in the attic
• Dripping water or musty odors

Leaks can lead to structural issues and mold growth, so addressing them promptly is crucial.

4. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection

Even minor hail damage can compromise your roof’s integrity over time. Contact Blues Crews Roofing for a free professional inspection. Our team has the expertise to identify hidden damage, assess the extent of the problem, and recommend the best course of action.

5. File an Insurance Claim If Necessary

If your roof has sustained significant hail damage, filing an insurance claim may be the best option. Here’s how we help:

• Thorough documentation of the damage for insurance purposes
• Meeting with your insurance adjuster to ensure all damage is accounted for
• Helping navigate the claims process so you receive the coverage you deserve

Our team works with homeowners to simplify the insurance process and make sure necessary repairs or replacements are covered.

6. Consider Impact-Resistant Roofing Materials

If your roof needs replacement, upgrading to impact-resistant shingles can provide extra protection against future storms. At Blues Crews Roofing, we offer Owens Corning Duration Shingles, designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and improve the longevity of your roof.
