Hail can bruise or crack shingles. Damage isn't always visible from the ground.

Document dates and photos for claims.

How it typically works

  • Inspection. Check for damage.
  • Materials are delivered. Expect a delivery and a dumpster or trailer in the driveway.
  • A final walk-through follows. Check flashing, vents and cleanup before you sign off.
  • Describe the roof and the problem. Age, material and where you see leaks or damage help a lot.
  • Expect a roof inspection. Roofers check shingles, flashing, vents and decking.
  • Permits are common for replacements. Many cities require a permit to re-roof.

What affects the outcome

  • Storm chasers. Verify local presence.
  • Hail is a big factor in Colorado. Hail damage can be hard to see from the ground.
