How Hail Storms Affect Your Roof (and Insurance Claims)

Utah is no stranger to hail storms, and your roof often takes the hardest hit. Even if damage isn’t obvious, hail can shorten your roof’s life and lead to costly repairs.

How Hail Damages Your Roof

  • Shingles: Bruises, cracks, or granule loss

  • Metal roofing: Dents that compromise strength and appearance

  • Flashing and vents: Dents and loosened seals

Signs of Hail Damage

  • Dented gutters and downspouts

  • Bald spots on shingles

  • Soft or spongy areas when walking on the roof (professionals only)

Insurance Claim Tips

  • Document damage with photos

  • Contact your insurance company promptly

  • Get a professional inspection to support your claim
