Hail Damage to Asphalt Shingles
Shingles can have broken or cracked tabs, but the most common hail damage is crushed or dented areas where granules are forced into the shingle mat or displaced. Granule loss shortens shingle life by exposing the mat to UV.
Hail Damage to Wood & Slate
Wood shingles can crack along the grain from hail impacts. Slates can crack randomly and may break loose from their fasteners and slide off the roof.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Signs include dented or cracked shingles, granule loss, damaged gutters, and dented flashing. Lakewoods Remodeling offers free inspections to identify all hail damage.
Will insurance cover hail damage roof repair?
Most homeowner policies cover hail damage. We work directly with your insurance adjuster to document damage and ensure full claim coverage.
How quickly can you repair hail damage?
We respond within 24 to 48 hours for inspections and can begin repairs as soon as your insurance claim is approved. Emergency tarping is available immediately.
Will my insurance rate go up if I file a hail claim?
In Minnesota it is illegal for an insurer to raise your individual premium or cancel your policy because you filed a claim for storm damage, which is treated as an Act of God. Rates can move for an entire region after a major storm, but you are not singled out for using the coverage you already pay for. We recommend a free inspection first so you only file when the damage genuinely warrants a claim.
Do you offer roof leak inspections in the Twin Cities?
Yes. We provide free roof leak inspections across Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eden Prairie, Bloomington and the surrounding metro. Hail and wind damage often creates slow leaks that stay hidden for months, so we check shingles, flashing, valleys, and the attic side for early moisture before it reaches your ceilings.
