As warmer weather moves in, so does hail season. In many parts of the country, spring and early summer bring strong storms that can batter rooftops with high winds and damaging hail. For homeowners, this is the time to take action. Your roof is your home’s first line of defense, and preparing it now can save you thousands in repairs later. At All Hail Roofing and Construction, we specialize in helping homeowners prevent, identify, and recover from hail damage. Here’s how to get your roof ready before the next storm hits.
 
Schedule a Pre Storm Inspection
One of the best things you can do to prepare your roof is schedule a professional inspection. A trained expert can identify issues like loose shingles, worn flashing, and weak points that could fail under pressure. Early repairs can make a major difference. Our team at All Hail Roofing and Construction checks every part of your roofing system, including gutters, vents, and underlayment, to ensure you’re protected before the first hailstone falls.

Clear Gutters and Downspouts
Blocked gutters are a big problem during storms. When hail and rain hit your roof, water needs to flow freely through the gutters and away from your home. If your system is clogged with debris, it can cause backups that lead to roof leaks, fascia damage, and even foundation problems. Clear out leaves, twigs, and buildup, and check that water flows properly through your downspouts. If your gutter system is sagging or damaged, replace or repair it right away.

Secure Loose Shingles and Flashing
Hail can rip through damaged or aging materials. If your shingles are already curling, cracked, or missing granules, they’re more likely to tear off or break apart during a storm. The same goes for flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents. Securing or replacing these components before a storm adds strength to your roof and reduces the risk of major damage.

Understand What Hail Damage Looks Like
After a storm passes, it’s not always easy to spot hail damage. The signs are often subtle but serious. You might see dents in metal flashing, bruised or dimpled shingles, or shingle granules collecting in your gutters. Some damage may not cause leaks right away but will weaken your roof’s integrity over time. That’s why it’s essential to have a professional inspect your roof after a hailstorm even if you don’t notice obvious signs.

Review Your Insurance Policy
Before the season ramps up, take a look at your homeowner’s insurance policy. Make sure it covers hail damage and review your deductible and claim process. Keep photos of your roof in its current condition and store them in a safe place. These images can be used to prove pre storm condition if you ever need to file a claim. When hail strikes, fast documentation and expert support can make all the difference in your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size hail causes roof damage?
Hail as small as one inch can damage shingles, especially if combined with high wind. Larger hail can crack or puncture roofing materials completely.

How soon should I get my roof checked after a hailstorm?
Ideally within 24 to 48 hours. Early inspection helps identify damage before leaks start and speeds up the insurance process.

Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage?
Yes, most standard policies cover hail damage. Review your policy or ask your agent to be sure, especially about deductibles and exclusions.

Can I inspect the roof myself after a storm?
We strongly advise against climbing on your roof. It can be dangerous, and untrained eyes often miss signs of damage. Schedule a professional inspection for safety and accuracy.

Should I wait to replace my roof until hail season is over?
No. If your roof is damaged or worn, it is more vulnerable to future storms. Replacing it now gives you stronger protection when you need it most.
