Why Does Hail Damage Matter?
When a hail stone hits a part of your property, it often damages the protective layer that covers the outside of the roofing, siding, gutters, etc.
This protective coating was engineered to protect the layer from the elements. With the outside layer now destroyed, it allows everything to fail under the elements.
When it comes to asphalt roofing shingles, hail stones can blow through the outside protective layer, commonly known as granules, and sometimes through the asphalt protective coating, all the way to its fiberglass mat.
A homeowner won’t see leaking or missing shingles from this right away, however this damage will start to show within 2-3 years when the damaged areas of the shingle have worn right through.
Additionally, when a hail stone strikes your shingle, it will VOID any remaining manufacturer’s warranty.
For metal or vinyl products, such as siding or gutters, they’re made with a sprayed on or hand-applied protective coating on the outside. This protects against rust and corrosion from Mother Nature.
When a hail stone hits these items, it damages this coating, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty.
