- Learn how hail actually affects your roofing system
- Understand when repairs are possible — and when they’re not
- Avoid getting pushed into a full replacement before it’s necessary
The storm rolled through fast.
It sounded like rocks pelting your roof.
The next morning you see a few granules in the gutter… maybe a dent on your vent pipe… and now you’re asking:
“Do I need a whole new roof? Or can this be fixed?”
That’s a smart question. And at Premium Roofing Solutions, we believe in giving honest answers — not cookie-cutter sales pitches.
Let’s break it down so you can know, with confidence, what your roof really needs.
What Hail Really Does to Your Roof
Hailstones — even small ones — can impact your roof in ways that aren’t always visible from the ground.
Depending on the size, speed, and angle of impact, hail can:
- Knock off protective granules from shingles
- Create soft spots that weaken the roofing material over time
- Crack or split shingles, especially older ones
- Dent metal vents, flashing, or gutters
- Compromise your roof’s ability to shed water
The result? You may not see a leak today, but hail damage is like a bruise — it shows up later… sometimes when it’s too late.
When Repairs Are Enough
We inspect dozens of hail-hit roofs every year. And sometimes?
A full replacement isn’t necessary.
Repairs may be the right choice when:
- The damage is limited to small, isolated areas
- Shingles are newer and still under warranty
- No underlying decking or structural issues are present
- The hail didn’t compromise flashing or valleys
In these cases, we’ll replace just the affected sections, seal everything properly, and document the repairs for your insurance (and peace of mind).
When a Full Replacement Is the Smarter Move
But sometimes the damage runs deeper.
We recommend a full roof replacement when:
- There’s widespread shingle bruising or granule loss
- Multiple sides of the roof are affected
- The roof is already 15+ years old and near end of life
- Repairs wouldn’t match existing materials due to fading
- An insurance adjuster agrees the entire system is compromised
In these cases, doing spot repairs is like patching a tire with duct tape — it may hold for now, but you’ll be back in the shop soon.
Why an Inspection Comes First
The only way to know for sure?
Get a professional inspection — with photos.
We’ll walk the roof, check soft spots by hand, inspect the attic for moisture, and take clear pictures of everything we find.
Then we’ll tell you the truth — not what’s best for our pockets, but what’s best for your home.
Don’t Let a Roofer or Adjuster Decide Without You
Too often, homeowners get railroaded into decisions.
Roofers push full replacements.
Adjusters approve minimal repairs.
And you’re caught in the middle — unsure who to trust.
That’s where we come in.
At Premium Roofing Solutions, we advocate for you. We speak with adjusters, walk you through every option, and give you full control of your decision.
