FAQs
How can I tell if hail has damaged my roof in Reliance?
Signs include dark circular bruises on asphalt shingles, dents in metal flashing or gutters, cracked or broken tiles, and an excessive amount of granules collecting in downspouts. Because many dents and bruises are hard to spot from the ground, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection soon after any hail event.
What roofing materials are most susceptible to hail dents?
Metal panels, aluminum gutters, and some thinner-gauge steel roofs show obvious dents the fastest. Asphalt shingles can also suffer hidden bruising that knocks granules loose and shortens their service life. Tile, slate, and thicker–gauge standing-seam metal generally withstand impacts better, but even these products can crack or chip under large hailstones.
How soon should I schedule a roof inspection after a hailstorm?
Ideally within 24–72 hours. Prompt documentation helps confirm the date of loss for insurance purposes and lets us catch problems—such as loosened shingles or punctures—before rainwater enters the decking or attic. If severe weather makes an immediate visit unsafe, book the earliest available slot; most insurers allow a reasonable window for filing claims once a storm is officially recorded.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover hail damage repairs?
Most standard policies in Reliance include wind and hail coverage, but details vary. Coverage usually applies when the damage affects the roof’s ability to shed water, not just its appearance. After we perform a detailed inspection, we can provide a written report and photographs to support your claim. You’ll still be responsible for your deductible, and cosmetic-only policies may exclude minor dents in metal roofing.
Can small hail dents really cause leaks or structural issues?
Yes. Even shallow dents can dislodge protective granules or fracture the under-surface of a shingle, creating weak spots that accelerate UV degradation. Over time, these areas can split or allow water to seep into the underlayment and decking, leading to mold, rot, and interior ceiling stains. Addressing dents early saves money compared to repairing widespread water damage later.
How long does a typical hail damage roof repair take in the Reliance area?
A minor shingle replacement or spot repair may be finished in one day. For moderate damage the average repair—including tear-off, decking checks, and new underlayment—takes 2–3 days. Full roof replacements can extend to 3–5 days depending on size, material availability, and weather. Our crews obtain local permits, coordinate with your insurer, and keep you updated on every phase to minimize disruption.
