How Hail Damages Your Roof

Hailstones vary in size from small pellets to baseball-sized ice chunks. Even minor storms can cause extensive roofing issues if left unchecked. According to the Insurance Information Institute, hail caused over $16.5 billion in damages across the U.S. in 2022 alone. NOAA’s National Severe Storms Laboratory also confirms that hailstones larger than 1 inch can cause significant roof damage.

Common Signs of Hail Damage

Bruised or Missing Shingles – Impact from hailstones can crack or dislodge asphalt shingles, exposing the roof deck beneath. This leaves your roof vulnerable to moisture penetration and accelerated deterioration.
Granule Loss – You might notice bald patches on shingles or granules collecting in gutters—this accelerates roof aging and reduces UV protection.
Cracked Tiles – Hail can fracture clay or concrete tile roofs, leading to slow leaks, mold growth, and eventual roof structure compromise.
Metal Roof Dents – Hail can dent panels, causing water pooling issues and seam separations that require immediate sealing.
Flashing and Vent Damage – Vents, skylights, and chimney flashing are often vulnerable to direct impact, leading to water infiltration.

How Much Does Hail Damage Roof Repair Cost?

Several variables affect hail damage repair costs:

Material type – Asphalt is more affordable to repair than tile or metal.
Extent of damage – Surface damage is cheaper to fix than compromised underlayment or decking.
Roof slope and accessibility – Steep or high-pitched roofs require specialized equipment.
Urgency and after-hours service – Emergency services at night or on weekends may add 10–20% in labor fees.

Most homeowner insurance policies cover hail damage. Review our Settlement Too Low guide for tips.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have hail damage?

You might see dents in shingles, gutters, or vents. Look for missing granules, dark spots, or moisture leaks. A professional free inspection can confirm damage.

Will insurance cover hail damage roof repair?

Most policies cover hail, but your deductible and claim approval depend on documentation. We guide you through the process. Visit our FAQ page for more.

Can I wait to repair minor hail damage?

Delaying repairs can lead to hidden water intrusion, mold, insulation damage, and voided warranties. It's best to act within days of the storm.

How long does hail damage repair take?

Minor repairs are often completed in 1–3 days. Full replacements vary depending on roof complexity, weather, and permitting.

Do you offer hail damage roof inspections after hours?

Yes, our 24-hour emergency repair teams respond day or night, even on weekends.

What size hail causes roof damage?

Hailstones larger than 1 inch in diameter (about the size of a quarter) can damage most roofing materials. Even smaller hail can cause cumulative damage if the storm lasts long or the roof is already aged. After any hail event, it’s wise to schedule a roof inspection.

Can I inspect hail damage on my own?

While you can look for visible signs like dented gutters or missing shingles, roof damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. Climbing on the roof is risky and often ineffective without the proper tools. ERS offers free professional inspections that include moisture readings and drone imagery.
