Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Hail Damage Repair
How much does hail damage roof repair cost?
Hail damage repair costs range from a few hundred dollars for minor fixes to several thousand for extensive damage. Most homeowners insurance covers hail damage, so you typically only pay your deductible. Santa Monica Elite Roofingprovides free inspections and works directly with insurance companies to streamline the claims process.
What does hail damage look like on different roof types?
Asphalt shingles show dark spots where granules are missing and exposed backing material. Clay tiles display chips, cracks, or broken pieces. Metal roofs have visible dents, while wood shingles show splits and gouges. The damage pattern typically matches the hail size and storm intensity.
Can I repair hail damage myself or do I need a professional?
Always use a professional for hail damage repairs. DIY work is dangerous on damaged roofs, can void warranties, and insurance companies require professional documentation for claims. Our certified technicians safely assess damage and ensure repairs meet all manufacturer and building code requirements.
How long does hail damage roof repair take?
Minor repairs take one to two days, while extensive damage requires three to seven days. Full roof replacements need one to two weeks. We treat hail damage as emergency work and provide temporary protection if weather delays occur.
What's the difference between hail damage and normal wear and tear?
Hail damage appears suddenly with distinct circular impact marks and random distribution across the roof. Normal wear shows gradual, uniform deterioration over years. Insurance covers sudden hail damage but excludes gradual wear, making proper identification crucial for successful claims.
