If you live in an area that is considered to be a prime location for hail storms, your home or business is extremely susceptible to roof damage. If you suffer any hail damage you can call our experts at Bella Roofing. Our helpful, knowledgeable, roofing experts will be there to help you with any damage to your roof.
Typically, hail must be around 1 1/4 inches in diameter to cause damage to either heavy composite shingles or wood shake shingles. Composite shingles made of lightweight materials may sustain damage from hailstones as small as 1 inch in diameter. If you already have some signs of wear or deterioration on any composite shingles, hail may damage your roof if it is 3/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter.
If a hail storm has recently passed through your area, you should have your roof inspected by a professional. One determinate of whether you may have hail or wind damage to your roof is to pay close attention to any other damage that may be observable after a storm. A tell-tell sign of hail damage is if you see a significant amount of shingle granules at the ends of downspouts. If you see these granules in your downspouts, you may have damage to your roof.
If you suspect that you may have damage to your roof due to a recent hail storm, contact us at Bella Roofing and we will send out one of our roofing experts to give you an expert roofing opinion.
