Hail Damage Roof Inspection & Repair
Helping the Ohio Valley Area Recover from Hail Damage
Hail can bruise, crack and puncture a roof in minutes, and much of that damage is hard to spot from the ground. After a hailstorm, schedule an inspection with Commonwealth Roofing so small impacts are found and fixed before they turn into leaks, interior damage or a full replacement.
Why Hail Damage Needs a Prompt Inspection
Hail damage rarely leaks on day one. Impacts weaken membranes, crack shingles and loosen granules, and water finds those weak points weeks or months later. By then, interior damage has often started and the link to the original storm is harder to prove.
Most insurance policies set a deadline for reporting storm damage, and manufacturer warranties expect owners to address damage promptly. An inspection soon after the storm gives you a clear record of the damage while it is fresh, which supports both your repair plan and any insurance claim.
Our Hail Damage Inspection and Repair Process
Hail damage doesn't always mean a new roof. Many roofs need targeted repairs, and a thorough inspection is the first step in knowing which course is right.
Our certified team starts inside your building, checking ceilings, walls, vents and skylights for water stains or new leaks. Then we move to the roof to document every area the hail affected.
On a hail damage roof inspection we look for:
- Impact marks, bruising or fractures in the membrane
- Punctures and cuts from large hailstones
- Cracked, split or missing shingles
- Granule loss on asphalt shingles
- Dents in metal panels, flashing, gutters and downspouts
- Damaged or cracked flashings and seams
- Broken skylights, vent caps and chimney caps
- Dented or damaged HVAC units and rooftop equipment
- Clogged drains and gutters from hail and storm debris
- Moisture trapped beneath the roof surface
When the inspection is complete, our inspector writes a detailed report with photos of each damaged area, estimated repair or replacement costs, and solution options. That report is built to help you and your insurance adjuster see the full scope of the damage.
Using the latest technology, including thermography and licensed drone videography, we can find hidden moisture and hard-to-see impacts and document them clearly.

Hail Damage FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has hail damage?
Hail damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. Common signs include cracked or bruised shingles, granule loss, dents in vents or flashing, and leaks inside the home. A professional roof inspection is the best way to identify both visible and hidden hail damage.
Can hail damage cause roof leaks right away?
Not always. Some hail damage weakens shingles and roofing materials over time, allowing water to seep in weeks or months later. Addressing hail roof damage early helps prevent leaks, mold growth, and structural issues.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover hail roof damage?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover hail damage, but coverage depends on your policy and deductible. It’s important to document the damage and schedule an inspection as soon as possible after a storm to support your claim.
