How to Decide

Following a hail storm, the first thing you should do is check your roof for any hail roof damage. The severity of hail roof damage in El Paso will depend on what kind of roof you have. If you have a metal, rubber, or impact-resistant roof, then it’ll be more protected from damage compared to clay tiles or asphalt. 

As long as you have easy and safe access to your roof, you can conduct your own inspection before calling the professionals. Keep an eye out for signs such as:

  • Dents/Chips in chimneys, skylights, and/or roof vents. 
  • Loose or missing shingles.
  • Cracks in shingles. 
  • Hail indents on shingles or asphalt. 

Be mindful that if you do choose to do an initial inspection for roof hail damage yourself, it’s best to get a second opinion from a team of experts. 

Repair Vs. Replacement

If you have a shingled roof, and the damage isn’t too bad, simply replacing the damaged shingles is all you need to do. However, if the damage is condensed to one specific area, we may recommend a partial roof replacement. 

Unfortunately, there are some circumstances where hail roof damage is so severe the entire roof needs to be replaced. Here are some reasons why you may want to consider a replacement following hail roof damage

  • You have an excessive amount of water damage in your attic or other places around your house. 
  • The hail storm consisted of high winds and your roof was impacted by large hailstones. 
  • You notice drooping, sagging, and/or other structural issues. 
  • Or simply your roof is approaching the end of its lifespan.
