Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Hail damage to a roof looks different depending on the type of roof. On asphalt roofs, you’ll likely see dark circles on the impact sites of the larger pieces of hail, and you may see small cracks in the surrounding shingles. Hail damage is easiest to spot on a metal roof, as you’ll notice dings and dents where the hail was severe enough to cause damage. Whether you notice signs of hail damage or not, it’s best to have a hail damage repair company inspect your roof after a major storm to assess the damage.

Moss grows in dark areas of roofs, including in corners and gutters. If left alone, it can grow under roofing and cause permanent damage. Here’s how to remove moss from metal roofs: 

  • Soak the moss to soften it

  • Scrub it away with a soft-bristled brush, or pick it off with your hands (be sure to wear gloves)

  • Use a moss remover that’s compatible with metal roofing, following the manufacturer’s directions

  • Remove dead moss and rinse the roof thoroughly

  • Prevent future moss growth by trimming branches, cleaning gutters, and attaching zinc strips to moss-prone areas

Most standing seam metal roofs last between 50 and 80 years. Certain high-end metals like copper or zinc can last up to 100 years if well-maintained. For the best durability, choose a low-gauge (thick) roof in a metal that works with your climate. Some are susceptible to thermal expansion and aren’t the best choice for all climates.

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.

While DIY patching is possible, professional services guarantee reliability in workmanship and adherence to safety standards.
