Hail doesn't give you a warning. One bad storm rolls through and suddenly your roof - which you never really thought about - is now the only thing on your mind. That's exactly what happened with this home in Black River Falls. The existing roof took a beating from hail, and a full tear-off and replacement was the right call.
We went with Atlas Pinnacle Impact IR shingles in Morning Harvest. That warm, blended tan-and-brown tone fits perfectly with the natural setting of this property. But the color choice was just one part of the decision. The bigger reason we recommended these shingles is the impact resistance. They're built to take hits from hail and debris that would crack or bruise a standard shingle - and they carry a Class 4 impact rating, which is the highest available.
When a roof gets hail damage, it's not always obvious from the ground. You might see a few obvious dings, or you might see nothing at all - but the damage is still there, compromising the shingle's ability to shed water. That's why we always recommend getting eyes on your roof after any significant storm. Catching it early means smaller repairs or, at minimum, a clean insurance claim before the damage compounds.
The ridge cap running the full length of the peak and the neatly integrated ridge vent are details that matter just as much as the shingles themselves. Proper ventilation protects the roof system from the inside out - keeping heat and moisture from breaking down materials prematurely. Everything on this job was installed to work as a complete system, not just shingles slapped on a deck.
