When a hail storm rolls through Connecticut, it doesn’t just leave a mess on your lawn—it may leave your roof vulnerable in ways you can’t see from the ground. Many commercial and residential properties suffer roof hail damage after a storm, but too often, that damage goes unnoticed until it leads to water leaks, energy loss, or costly structural repairs.
At Lifetime warranty Roofs, we know how vital a roof inspection after a hail storm is—not just for protecting your property, but also for ensuring your insurance claim doesn’t get denied. If your roof has sustained damage from hail, strong winds, or other storm damage, here’s what you need to know.
Don’t Let Roof Hail Damage Go Undetected
You may not see the dents, cracks, or damaged shingles from the ground, but that doesn’t mean your roof is in good shape. Hail storms can leave behind cosmetic hail damage on metal roofing, asphalt shingles, and various types of roofing materials—but what starts off as minor can quickly evolve into further damage, including rot in your roof decking, broken gutters, and even leaks behind your siding.
It only takes a few hailstones striking the same area to create missing or damaged shingles, or even lift sections of your roof covering. Once water damage sets in, your business or home is exposed to a host of problems.
What to Expect from a Professional Roof Inspection
Hiring a professional roofing contractor is the best first step after any severe weather event. Our trained team arrives with proper safety gear, years of experience, and the know-how to spot hail damage and any other signs of vulnerability.
During your roof inspection, we carefully check:
- Loose, cracked, or missing shingles
- Dents in metal roofing, vents, or air conditioners
- Broken seals around downspouts, chimneys, and skylights
- Signs of moisture infiltration or roof decking issues
- Pooling water or clogged gutters
- And any other damage hidden from street view
If we find your roof has suffered significant damage, we’ll walk you through the next steps to file an insurance claim—and yes, we can work with insurance companies, public adjusters, and even meet your adjuster on-site to help ensure you get a fair deal.
The Sooner You Inspect, the More You Protect
Waiting too long after a storm can cost you—literally. The more time that passes, the harder it is to prove that the damage to your roof came from a specific weather event. In our experience across Connecticut towns like New Haven, Bridgeport, and Danbury, clients who act quickly are more likely to have their claims approved and their roofs fully restored or replaced.
And if you’re worried about cost, here’s the good news: Lifetimewarranty Roofs offers a free inspection so you can make informed decisions without pressure. Whether you need minor repairs or a full replacement roof, we’ll explain the factors affecting your quote and timeline, always with transparency.
Your Next Steps After a Hail Storm
- Inspect the ground around your home or business. Look for fallen shingles, dented siding, or broken downspouts.
- Call a trusted professional roofing company to perform a full roof inspection.
- Document all visible storm damage, and take photos of dents, damaged shingles, or debris.
- Contact your insurance company to report the hail damage, and be prepared to file an insurance claim.
- Avoid DIY attempts—climbing on your roof without proper safety gear is dangerous and may void your insurance if you cause further damage.
