Hail and storm damage repair for roofs, siding, gutters and windows

A hailstorm or a hard straight-line wind can damage several parts of a house at once. The roof takes most of it, but siding, gutters, screens and trim usually show damage too. We inspect the whole exterior, write up what we find, and repair or replace the damaged materials. If water got inside, we handle those interior repairs as well.

Roofs. Hail bruises and cracks shingles, knocks granules loose, and dents vents and flashing. Wind lifts and creases shingles or tears them off. We repair small areas when the rest of the roof is sound and replace the roof when the damage is spread across the slopes.

Siding, trim, gutters, soffit and fascia. Hail cracks and punctures vinyl siding and dents aluminum trim and gutters. Wind pulls siding panels, soffit and fascia loose. We replace the damaged pieces and match the existing materials as closely as we can.

Windows and doors. Broken glass, dented frames, torn screens and damaged storm doors. We repair what can be repaired and replace units that can't.

Fallen trees. Once a tree service has the tree off the house, we rebuild what it hit, including roof framing, decking, walls and exterior finishes. When framing is broken, we coordinate with a structural engineer on the repair design.

Water intrusion. Storm damage that lets water in shows up later as ceiling stains, wet insulation and soft roof decking. We open up the affected area, dry it out and repair it.

If it just happened. Call us. Stay clear of downed power lines and report them to your utility. If a tree is on the house, stay out of the rooms under it. Don't climb onto a damaged or wet roof. Photograph the damage from the ground, including hail on the lawn and dents on gutters and vehicles, and write down the date of the storm.

How hail and storm damage repair runs

1

Inspection and photo documentation

We inspect the roof slopes, flashing, vents, siding, gutters, windows and trim, and take dated photos of each area of damage. If water got in, we check the attic and the ceilings below.
2

Protect the property

If part of the roof or an opening is exposed, we talk through temporary protection so more water doesn't get in while the claim moves forward.
3

Written repair scope and estimate

We write a scope listing each damaged item and the repair or replacement it needs, with an estimate you can submit with your claim. We work alongside your adjuster and can meet them at the property. We don't negotiate claims or act as a public adjuster; we document the damage and do the repair work.
4

Rebuild

Once the scope is approved, we order materials and do the work: roofing, siding and trim, gutters, windows, and any interior repairs from water intrusion. Permits and inspections are part of the job when the city requires them.
5

Final walkthrough

We walk the exterior with you, check the work against the scope, clean the site of nails and debris, and close out the punch list.

Good to know

Hail and storm damage repair in Minnesota: what to plan for

Hail and wind season

Most of Minnesota's hail and damaging wind comes from late spring through summer thunderstorms. Get an inspection after any storm that left hail on the ground, even if the roof looks fine from the yard.

Policy deadlines

Many policies set a time limit for reporting damage and for finishing repairs. Read your policy or ask your agent so you know your dates.

Hidden damage turns into winter damage

A cracked shingle or loose flashing may not leak in July. Once snow sits on the roof and melts against that spot, water finds its way in. Fixing storm damage before winter avoids a second round of repairs.

Ice dams

Bent gutters and damaged eaves make ice dams worse. When a roof is replaced, ice barrier membrane goes down along the eaves, and attic ventilation and insulation get checked.

Late-season roofing

Shingles seal down with heat from the sun. A roof replaced late in the fall may not fully seal until spring, so exposed areas are often hand-sealed.

Permits

Many cities in the Twin Cities metro require a permit for reroofing and residing.

Hail and storm damage repair questions

How can I tell if hail damaged my roof?

From the ground, look for dented gutters, downspouts and roof vents, dings in siding or window trim, and shingle granules piled at downspout outlets. Damage to the shingles themselves is hard to see without getting on the roof. An inspection with photos shows what is actually there.

Do you work with my insurance adjuster?

Yes. We provide the inspection, photo documentation, a written repair scope and an estimate, and we work alongside your adjuster through the repair. We don't negotiate claims or act as a public adjuster.

Will new siding match the rest of my house?

We try to match the profile, color and texture of what's on the house now. Older siding may be discontinued or faded from years of sun, so an exact match isn't always possible. When it isn't, we go over the options with you before anything is ordered.

Should I repair or replace my roof after a hailstorm?

That depends on how widespread the damage is and the age and condition of the roof. Scattered damage on an otherwise sound roof can often be repaired. Damage across most of the slopes usually points to replacement, and the inspection photos show which case you're in.

A tree fell on my house. What do I do first?

Get everyone out of the affected rooms, stay away from downed lines, and call your utility and your insurance company. A tree service removes the tree. Then call us to inspect the structure, document the damage and plan the rebuild.
