Why This Matters

What most people call Tornado Alley, we call Hail Alley. The central Midwest sees some of the most aggressive storm activity in the country, especially through spring and summer.

These storms don't just pass through. They leave behind real damage that isn't always obvious from the ground. Even newer roofs can be affected, and aging systems are especially vulnerable.

If your roof hasn't been inspected recently and storms have powered through the area, it's worth having it checked out. Small, overlooked damage can turn into larger issues over time.

We provide detailed, no-cost inspections and help homeowners and commercial property owners understand exactly what they're dealing with. No guessing, no pressure.

📞 Clear answers start with a call. Call (844) 314-ROOF to schedule your inspection. We’ll get someone out as quickly as we can.

What Storm Damage Actually Looks Like

⛈️ Hail Damage

Hail impacts don't always create obvious holes or missing shingles. In many cases, damage shows up as dark, circular impact marks where protective granules have been displaced. These impacts can compromise shingle integrity, expose the underlying mat, and accelerate deterioration over time.

Hail may also leave signs on gutters, downspouts, soft metal fixtures, exterior wall coverings, windows, and personal property.

🌪️ Wind Damage

Wind damage can show up as lifted shingles, creased tabs, broken seals, or missing roofing materials. Once the seal is broken on an asphalt shingle, the roof becomes more vulnerable to further movement and water intrusion. High-wind events can weaken a roof system in ways that are not always visible from the ground.

After major wind events, we look at every plane of the roof, the field shingles, ridge caps, flashings, and seal strength, not just the obvious failures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my roof has storm damage?

Often you can't tell from the ground. Hail leaves dark, round marks where granules were knocked off. Wind lifts or creases shingles and breaks their seals. Dented gutters and damaged siding are common clues.
