How Hail Damage Impacts Your Roof’s Health
Hailstorms can seriously damage your roof, particularly in the Midwest, known for its unpredictable weather. Even small hail damage can turn into long-term issues such as leaks and structural weaknesses. Taking preventive steps early can save you thousands.

How Hail Damages Your Roof
Hail affects your roof in several ways, based on the material and storm severity:
- Asphalt Shingles: Granule loss leaving the layer beneath vulnerable to UV damage.
- Metal Roofing: Dents and weakened fasteners, impacting structural integrity.
- Wood Shingles: Cracking and splitting, allowing moisture infiltration.
Fun fact: Even small hailstones can create long-term issues if left unchecked.
Steps to Protect Your Roof
Here are effective tips to reduce hail damage:
- Use impact-resistant shingles made for severe hail.
- Ensure regular roof maintenance, such as addressing loose tiles or shingles.
- Trim overhanging branches that may amplify storm-related damage.
- Arrange regular inspections with reputable roofing contractors.
Investing in these measures enhances your roof’s defense against extreme weather.
