If your roof leaks in heavy rain, that means the roofing is compromised and will need to be inspected and likely repaired. Small holes or cracks in the roofing material or flashing may not be noticeable in dry weather or even in a drizzle, but if they suddenly become noticeable when heavy rain comes, it likely means that small amounts of water are leaking in at other times, potentially causing damage.

Challenges include locating hidden issues like seepage or mold growth, coordinating work among different trades, and managing costs within insurance constraints.

The first thing to ensure is you are hiring an approved contractor to repair your roof so your insurance can cover the cost. As always, shop around until you have a handful of quotes so that you get the best quality for the price you’re paying.

When researching a roof repair contractor to repair hail damage, first ask if they’re licensed, bonded, and insured, as this protects you and your property. Always check upfront fees, availability, turnaround, and cost or discounts. Finally, I always look up their reviews to make sure other people who have done similar projects have had great results.

In general, hailstones need to be at least one inch in diameter to cause damage to a roof. Smaller hailstones can also cause damage, but usually only if accompanied by strong winds or striking aging roofs in poor condition. Obviously, the larger the hail, the more potential for damage.
