Storm & Hail Damage Roof Repair Services
Request an estimate for your roof
A hailstorm can pass in minutes and leave a roof hurting for years. Dry air, strong sun and heavy snow already work on shingles every season. Add a storm on top, and small cracks turn into leaks. Many homes in the Denver area have wood or stucco walls, so water that gets in can hide for a while.
Stationears Roofing is a referral service. We do not do roofing work. We connect homeowners with independent local providers in our network who inspect storm damage and explain the choices. This page shows what you can check from the ground, what needs trained crews, and how to compare a repair with a full replacement before anyone starts work.
Storm just passed? Start on the ground
Stay off the roof. Wet shingles, loose granules and soft decking make a fall easy. Walk around your home and look up instead.
This is the ground-level first check:
- Dented gutters, downspouts or roof vents
- Shingle pieces or dark granules in flower beds
- Branches or debris resting on the roof
- Ceiling stains, drips or daylight in the attic
Take clear photos of everything you see. Date them if you can. You will want them later.
Emergency roof repair: what truly cannot wait
Some damage is urgent. Active leaks, a hole in the roof, or a tree limb through the shingles all need quick attention. Water can soak insulation and drywall fast, and basements can take on runoff too.
Request a callback to check provider availability. Many providers can respond quickly to open leaks, though timing depends on how busy they are after a big storm.
What you can safely do yourself
A few jobs are fine for a homeowner:
- Photograph damage from the ground
- Move furniture and place a bucket under a drip
- Clear a clogged gutter from a sturdy ladder on low, dry ground
- Write down when the storm hit and what you saw
That is where DIY should stop.
What needs trained crews and proper gear
Anything that puts you on the roof is a job for a provider. That means tarping, resealing flashing, replacing shingles and checking the deck. Crews use harnesses, roof jacks and the right materials. A rushed patch with the wrong sealant can trap water and make things worse.
Types of storm damage to look for
Hail bruises shingles, knocks off granules and can crack the mat underneath. Wind lifts and creases shingles, or tears them away. Debris punctures the surface. Heavy snow loads strain framing and gutters, and a fast spring melt pushes water into any gap.
Why high sun makes hail harm worse
Intense sun at altitude already dries out roofing. A hail-bruised shingle loses granules faster, and bare spots age quickly. A roof that looks fine after the storm can start leaking a season or two later.
What a storm damage inspection covers
A provider usually checks shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, skylights and the attic. They look for bruising, cracks, lifted edges and wet insulation. Ask for photos and a written summary of what they found.
Repair or replace after a storm? Know your options
If damage is limited to a few spots, a repair may be enough. If hail hit every slope, or the shingles are already old and brittle, hail damage roof replacement may make more sense. Patching a worn roof can mean paying twice.
Ask the provider to explain both paths, with prices side by side.
Working with your insurance
Some policies may cover sudden storm damage. Check your policy for deductibles and time limits. Providers can often help document damage for a claim, but your insurer makes the final call. Do not sign anything that hands over your claim decisions.
Be careful with door-to-door offers
After a storm, crews often knock on doors. Some are honest. Some are not. Be wary of pressure to sign today, large upfront payments, or a promise to handle your claim for you. Take your time and compare local roofing contractors.
Questions to ask the contractor
- Are you licensed and insured in my state? Can I see proof?
- What exactly did you find, and can I see photos?
- Do you recommend repair or replacement, and why?
- What materials will you use, and who handles cleanup?
- What happens if you find hidden damage once work begins?
Get the quote in writing
A quote in writing protects you. It should list the scope, materials, price and payment terms. Compare at least two before you decide. Storm damage repair is easier to plan when you know your options first.

No obligationStorm & Hail Damage Roof Repair Services FAQ
How do I know if hail damaged my roof?
From the ground, look for dented gutters, vents and flashing, plus granules in downspouts. Roof damage can be hard to see, so a provider's inspection is the safest way to confirm it.
Should I climb up to check for storm damage myself?
No. Wet or damaged roofs are slippery and weak in spots. Use binoculars or your phone's zoom from the ground, and leave roof work to trained providers with safety gear.
Will insurance pay for hail damage roof replacement?
Some policies may cover sudden storm damage, but coverage varies. Check your deductible and filing deadlines, and ask a provider to help document the damage for your claim.
