Hail & Storm Roof Repair Services
Fast, Reliable Recovery
Free Estimate – Get Started Today
Hail and wind damage can worsen in just a matter of days. What starts as a small puncture or shingle tear can quickly turn into a leak that affects ceilings, insulation, and interior walls. Acting fast can make the difference between a straightforward roof repair and a major restoration project.

Why Kansas City Roofs Are Vulnerable to Hail & Storm Damage
Kansas City sits in a region known for frequent severe weather outbreaks, especially during spring and early summer. Our location in the Midwest means storm systems can develop rapidly, often bringing hail, heavy rain, and damaging winds.
Hail Size & Impact
Hail here can range from small pea-sized pellets to golf-ball-sized chunks of ice—or even larger during severe events. When hail strikes at high speed, it can bruise or fracture roofing materials, dent metal surfaces, and dislodge protective granules from asphalt shingles.
Wind-Driven Rain
Many storms in the Kansas City area are accompanied by strong winds that push rain sideways. This can force water under shingles, through gaps in flashing, and into seams around skylights, chimneys, and roof edges.
Temperature Extremes
Rapid temperature changes—such as a hot afternoon followed by a cold front—can cause roofing materials to expand and contract. Combined with hail impact, this can accelerate cracking and material fatigue.
Common Roof Weak Points
- Ridges and peaks where wind speeds are highest
- Areas around roof penetrations (vents, skylights, chimneys)
- Overhanging edges where uplift forces are strongest
- Older sections of roofing with weathered materials
What WCommon Roof Hail & Storm Damage Problems We Addresse Do Best
Our Hail & Storm Roof Repair Process
1. Detailed Damage Assessment
We start by inspecting the entire roofing system, including shingles, flashing, gutters, vents, and the attic. We note both visible and hidden issues that could cause problems later.
2. Documentation for Your Records
Our team documents all findings with photographs and notes, which can help you understand the full extent of the damage and guide your repair decisions.
3. Temporary Weatherproofing
If your roof is still vulnerable to rain or wind, we install tarps or coverings to prevent additional damage while permanent repairs are prepared.
4. Careful Removal of Damaged Sections
We remove compromised shingles, underlayment, and other materials, exposing the roof deck for closer inspection.
5. Decking and Structural Repairs
If hail or wind has damaged the underlying deck, we replace weakened sections with new, solid boards to restore structural stability.
6. Installation of New Underlayment & Flashing
We apply fresh underlayment to protect against moisture and install new flashing in critical areas to ensure water is properly diverted.
7. Material Replacement & Blending
We install new roofing materials that match your existing roof whenever possible, blending repairs seamlessly with undamaged sections.
8. Final Quality Check
Every repair is double-checked to confirm it’s watertight, properly sealed, and ready to withstand future Kansas City storms.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my roof has hail or storm damage?
Some signs are visible from the ground, such as missing shingles, dents in metal flashing or gutters, or debris piled in roof valleys. However, many forms of hail damage—like small impact bruises, granule loss, and hairline cracks—can only be seen up close. A professional inspection is the safest way to detect hidden problems before they lead to leaks.
What happens if I delay repairing hail damage?
Delaying repairs can turn a minor surface problem into a major structural issue. Even small cracks or punctures allow water to seep beneath shingles, damaging underlayment and decking. Over time, this can lead to attic leaks, insulation damage, mold growth, and expensive repairs that go beyond the roof.
Can hail damage be repaired without replacing the whole roof?
Yes. If the damage is limited to certain sections, targeted repairs can restore your roof’s integrity without a full replacement. This may include replacing shingles, repairing flashing, and fixing damaged underlayment. However, if hail has compromised a large portion of the roof, more extensive work may be necessary.
Is hail damage always obvious right after the storm?
No. Some hail impacts cause immediate visible marks, while others create subtle damage that weakens the roof over time. Granule loss or bruised shingles might not leak right away, but months later they can become the source of a major problem. That’s why post-storm inspections are essential.
What parts of the roof are most vulnerable to hail damage?
- Ridge caps and roof peaks (take the brunt of hail impact)
- Shingles with existing wear or brittleness
- Flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents
- Roof edges where wind-driven hail strikes at sharp angles
- Gutters and downspouts that can dent and clog
Does hail damage only affect shingles?
No. Hail can also dent metal roofing, crack tiles, damage skylights, bend gutters, puncture vents, and even harm siding. It can also loosen sealants and damage underlayment, making the roof more vulnerable to future storms.
How quickly should I get my roof inspected after a hailstorm?
Ideally, within a few days. Even if leaks haven’t started, immediate inspections can identify damage early and prevent water infiltration during the next rain. Fast action also ensures you have an accurate record of storm damage while it’s fresh.
What’s the difference between hail damage and wind damage?
Hail damage comes from the physical impact of ice hitting the roof, often leaving dents, cracks, and granule loss. Wind damage, on the other hand, typically lifts, loosens, or tears away shingles entirely. Many Kansas City storms involve both, so inspections check for each type.
Can small hailstones still cause roof damage?
Yes. Even hail smaller than a quarter can cause granule loss and create tiny fractures in shingles. While large hail causes more visible destruction, repeated small hail events can weaken a roof over time.
How long does a typical hail damage roof repair take?
The timeline depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs may be completed in a day, while more extensive damage involving decking replacement may take several days. Weather conditions can also affect scheduling.
Do you check gutters and roof edges during a hail damage inspection?
Absolutely. Gutters and roof edges are often the first areas to show hail impact. Dented gutters or separated seams can signal storm intensity and help pinpoint areas of the roof that may need closer inspection.
What should I do if I suspect my roof has hail damage?
Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself, as it can be dangerous and cause additional damage. Instead, schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible. Document any visible signs from the ground and note the date and time of the storm for your records.
Protect Your Home Now
Hail and storm damage often look minor at first glance, but the consequences of delaying repairs can be severe. A single storm can compromise your roof’s protective layers, setting the stage for leaks, wood rot, and costly structural problems.
If your roof has been through a recent hailstorm or high-wind event, the safest choice is to get it checked as soon as possible.
