Hail impacts break down the protective granules on your shingles, exposing the underlying asphalt to solar UV rays. Over time, these spots weaken and form water leaks.
Our hail repair services swap out damaged shingles and flashing to restore your roof's waterproofing. For homes in hail-prone areas, we offer upgrades to Class 4 impact-resistant shingles (like Malarkey Bella Vista), which use rubberized asphalt to absorb hail strikes without cracking.
Ramos Roofing Plus coordinates with your insurance provider, performing repairs that comply with all local building codes and manufacturer warranties.
Hail strikes blast away the protective mineral granules on shingles, exposing the underlying asphalt matting to solar UV rays. Over time, UV exposure causes the asphalt to crack, curl, and deteriorate, leading to leaks. Hail can also fracture the fiberglass mat of the shingle, causing immediate entry points for water.
Hail damage is rarely visible from the ground unless shingles are completely broken or missing. Bruised shingles and micro-fractures require a close-up physical inspection on the roof. Our trained inspectors check the shingles, valleys, flashing, and soft metals (like roof vents and gutters) to find hidden damage.
Yes, hail damage is considered a sudden, covered storm event under standard homeowner's policies. We help homeowners document the damage by providing detailed photo reports and estimates, and we meet with insurance adjusters on-site to ensure all hail-related damage is recorded for the claim.
Most insurance policies require you to file a claim within 1 year (12 months) of the storm event. Some policies allow up to 2 years, but filing early is critical. Waiting can cause minor damage to leak, leading to structural rot or mold that insurance may refuse to cover due to neglect.
Yes, Class 4 shingles are engineered with rubberized polymers that absorb the impact of hail up to 2 inches in size without fracturing. Installing Class 4 shingles (such as Malarkey Legacy) protects your home and often qualifies you for substantial discounts on your homeowner's insurance premiums.
If your roof was struck by a few isolated hailstones, localized shingle patches may be sufficient. However, hailstorms typically cover the entire roof deck, causing widespread granule loss and bruising. If the damage is spread across multiple facets, a complete roof replacement is required.
We mark off a 'test square' (10ft x 10ft section) on different roof facets and count the number of hail hits within that area, following insurance standards. We take high-resolution photos of these hits, damaged roof vents, and gutters, and compile a report to support your claim.
Ignoring hail damage leads to premature shingle failure. Exposed asphalt matting degrades under direct sunlight, becoming brittle and cracking. Within 12 to 24 months, water will seep through these cracks, causing wood rot in your decking, wet insulation, mold, and ceiling leaks.
Yes, all our repairs are backed by our workmanship warranty. If a complete replacement is required, you also receive manufacturer material warranties. As certified contractors, we can offer extended systems warranties that cover both materials and labor, backed by the manufacturer.
