Severe weather and hail cause serious damage to homes every year in Parker County. Hail can cause cosmetic and functional damage to your roof and roof components. The hail can cause dents and bruising that will reduce the service life of your roof. It will accelerate the deterioration and degranulation of the roof shingles and will allow water to start leaking as time goes on. This leaking and moister will weaken and rot the roof’s plywood decking. It can also begin to develop mold. As time progresses these roof leaks caused by the hail can even become significant enough that you start to see staining on your ceilings or even dripping water. Hail can also cause damage to your windows, gutters, fencing, siding, and other areas of your home.

The Short Answer Is MAYBE
In some cases, if the damage is so insignificant or minor, it might be possible to just repair a few hail-damaged shingles or roof components.
The Best Answer Is PROBABLY NOT
Having a situation where only a few shingles and no other parts or components of the roof are damaged would be extremely unusual. So the likely hood of this situation occurring is very improbable.
The Long Answer Is IT’S NOT RECOMMENDED
Although some insurance companies, as well as some roofing contractors, might suggest that a repair is possible, the truth is it is not. Your roof works together as a cohesive system. Anytime you start to remove and replace shingles you are disturbing the continuity of the roof itself. Each shingle is bounded together and you are jeopardizing the integrity when individual shingles are removed or replaced.

Hailstorms can cause significant damage to a home’s roof. When a hailstone impacts a roof it can cause bruises or cracks to roof shingles. This can cause immediate loss of granules or cause the shingles to lose granules over time. This will expose the asphalt under the granules which will degrade from UV exposure. Eventually, this will lead to roof leaks.
How can you check for hail damage on your roof and what does it look like?

Hail larger than one inch 1″ in diameter will often cause obvious and clearly observable damage and requires immediate replacement.
