We are in peak hail season, which lasts until May. As the rainy hail season continues, it’s crucial to understand the importance of storm damage roof repairs so you can act quickly to safeguard your Friendswood roof. In this article, we will discuss common signs of hail damage and the steps to take after a hailstorm.
Gutters and Downspouts
Hail primarily inflicts damage on structures by denting them due to the force at which the hailstones are falling. Contrary to what most homeowners believe, a small piece of hail can inflict damage. In fact, hailstones as small as a quarter are capable of damaging your gutters and downspouts.
Roof Shingles
We install multiple types of roof shingles on Friendswood homes, each of which is able to withstand different levels of storm damage. Hail damage to your roof shingles will show up in a few ways, but mainly by chipping at the granules that serve as the top-most layer of your roof shingles. Typically, if hail has damaged your roof shingles, you may spot shingle granules in your gutters as well as dents and chipped spots across your roof.
