After the Storm
What to Do After a Storm
Check from the ground
Look for missing shingles, granule loss in your gutters, or visible dents. Avoid climbing onto a damaged roof yourself.
Note what happened
Write down when the storm passed through and take photos of any visible damage.
Have the roof inspected
A closer look at the roof itself can confirm what’s happening, since some damage can’t be seen from the ground.
Think Your Roof Took a Hit?
Request a free roof inspection. Same-day roof inspections may be available, though availability isn't guaranteed.
What the Findings Mean
Inspection, Repair, or Replacement?
An inspection shows whether the damage is limited enough for a repair or extends to a full replacement.
Isolated damage
When damage is limited to specific areas, a targeted repair may be the answer.
See Roof Repair →Widespread or severe damage
When damage is extensive, a full replacement may be the better path.
See Roof Replacement →
A Note on Insurance
Check Your Policy
Homeowners insurance often covers roof damage caused by hail, wind, and storms, though coverage details vary by policy, including deductibles that may apply specifically to wind or hail claims.
Checking your specific policy or speaking with your insurance provider is the best way to know what’s covered.
Storm & Hail Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a free roof inspection after hail or storm damage?
Yes. Roof Champs offers free roof inspections, including when you suspect hail or wind damage. Same-day roof inspections may be available, though availability isn't guaranteed.
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
Common signs include dented, cracked, or missing shingles, granules collecting in your gutters, and visible dents in soft metal like vents or flashing. Some hail damage isn't visible from the ground, so a closer look at the roof is the reliable way to know.
Should I get my roof inspected even if I don't see any damage?
It can be worth it. Storm damage isn't always visible from the ground, and some damage doesn't cause a leak right away. A free roof inspection can help determine whether anything needs attention.
Can hail damage be repaired, or does the whole roof need replacing?
It depends on how widespread the damage is. Limited damage may be repairable, while extensive damage may point toward replacement. An inspection can help determine which. See Roof Repair and Roof Replacement.
What should I do after a storm?
Start with a visual check from the ground for missing shingles or granule buildup in your gutters, note when the storm passed, and take photos. If you notice signs of damage, or aren't sure, request a free roof inspection.
Does homeowners insurance typically cover hail or storm damage?
Often, yes, though coverage and deductibles vary by policy. Reviewing your specific policy or speaking with your insurance provider is the best way to know what's covered.
