Missouri is no stranger to hail storms, which can cause significant damage to homes and businesses. As a property owner, it's essential to understand the impact of hail storms and how to address any damage they may cause. In this ultimate guide, we'll discuss the damage hail can cause, how to assess it, and the best ways to repair and protect your property from future storms.

Understanding Hail Damage

Hail storms can cause a variety of damage to your property, including:

• Roof damage: Hail can cause dents, cracks, and punctures in your roof's shingles, leading to leaks and potential water damage.
• Siding damage: Hail can dent and crack vinyl siding, leading to potential water infiltration and reduced energy efficiency.
• Window damage: Hail can crack or shatter windows and damage window frames, leading to increased energy costs and potential injury from broken glass.
• Vehicle damage: Hail can dent and scratch vehicles, reducing their value and potentially causing functional issues.

Assessing your property for damage after a hail storm is essential, as unaddressed damage can lead to more significant issues.

Assessing Hail Damage

After a hail storm, inspecting your property for damage is crucial. Here's what to look for:

• Roof: Look for dents, cracks, and punctures in your shingles. You may also notice granules from your shingles in your gutters or downspouts, indicating damage.
• Siding: Check for dents, cracks, and chipping paint on your siding.
• Windows: Inspect your windows for cracks, shattered glass, and damaged frames.
• Vehicles: Look for dents, scratches, and cracked windshields.

If you need clarification on whether your property has sustained hail damage, it's best to consult with a professional. Jackaroo Roofing and Construction offers hail damage inspections to help you assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action for repairs.

• Replace damaged shingles or your entire roof

• Invest in high-quality roofing materials, such as impact-resistant shingles, to withstand hail.
• Consider installing a hail-resistant siding material, such as fiber cement or steel.
• Install storm windows or window film to protect your windows from hail damage.
• Keep your vehicles in a garage or under a carport during hail storms.
