Hail damage is one of those things that's easy to put off. The roof looks mostly fine from the ground, life gets busy, and before you know it months have passed. But here's the problem - every storm that rolls through after a hail hit makes the damage worse. Compromised shingles let water in, and water damage inside a home is a much bigger headache than a roof replacement.
That's exactly the situation this New Lisbon homeowner was dealing with after last summer's storms came through. The hail had done enough damage across the entire roof that a full shingle replacement was the right call. Not a patch job. Not a repair here and there. A complete tear-off and fresh start.
We stripped everything down and put on a brand new shingle roof from edge to edge. The warm brown architectural shingles we installed give the home a sharp, clean look - and more importantly, they're built to hold up against whatever Wisconsin weather throws at them. The ridge lines are tight and straight, the courses are even, and every penetration on the roof is properly flashed and sealed.
One thing worth knowing about hail damage - it's not always visible from the ground. Hail bruises shingles and knocks off the protective granule coating, which leads to accelerated wear and eventually leaks. If your home was in the path of a bad storm, the only way to know for sure what you're dealing with is a proper inspection up on the roof. A lot of homeowners are surprised to find out their insurance covers the replacement once the damage is documented correctly.
We handle shingle roofing across Wisconsin and work with homeowners on storm-related claims regularly. If your roof took a hit and you haven't had it looked at yet, it's worth getting eyes on it sooner rather than later.
