Think your roof survived that last hailstorm? Think again. Just because you don’t see visible damage doesn’t mean your roof is in the clear.
Here’s why:
When hail hits, it often knocks off protective granules from asphalt shingles. These granules shield your roof from UV rays. Without them, your shingles degrade faster, become brittle, and eventually leak.
The problem?
You can’t see granule loss or minor cracks from the ground. And by the time you notice water damage indoors, the issue has already gotten worse—and more expensive to fix.
Here’s what we recommend in Northern Colorado:
- Get a professional inspection after every major hailstorm
- Take photos of your roof and attic before and after storm season
- File an insurance claim promptly if damage is found
- Avoid climbing the roof yourself—hire a pro with the right tools and training
Hail damage doesn’t always leave a dent—but it can leave a lasting impact if you ignore it. A simple inspection now can prevent thousands in repairs later.
