Hail Damage
Hail Damage Roof Repair
Spring and summer in Colorado bring beautiful colors and temperatures, but with them come severe thunderstorms that are capable of causing significant damage to your home and roof.
When we get hail in Colorado, it hits hard and fast, leaving its mark on your roof that can be difficult to see. The type of hail that will fall differs from region to region, affecting our service areas of Denver, Highlands Ranch, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Greeley and Cheyenne. Depending on the size, shape and hardness of the hail, damage can come in the form of small indents or actual tears in your roof.
Even with small indents, in the right conditions and with certain types of roofs, any bruises from hail can eventually lead to major leaks. By the time you start experiencing the leaks, it may be too late to salvage even the undamaged parts of your roof.
Statute of Limitations
If you think you sustained hail damage from recent storms and need to get your roof repaired, ACT NOW. Not only can hail damage threaten the integrity of your roof, but your homeowner’s insurance will often have a statute of limitations on claims.
An Expert Eye
Usually you can’t spot hail damage from the ground because of the small indents it creates on shingles. After the storm, you may see obvious damage to things such as your car or home siding so it is safe to assume the storm also affected your roof.
Because the damage from hail is often invisible from the ground, it’s important to have an experienced, professional inspector and insurance claim specialist check your roof as soon as possible.
CAREFUL, it’s also not safe to get up on the roof yourself to check for hail damage. If you need an expert to come and inspect your roof for hail damage, call us and we’ll inspect your roof for FREE.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Do I Do About My Roof? We get that you’re not always keeping tabs on your roof, so when you finally have to deal with it you have a lot of questions that need to be addressed, which is why we are providing a few answers to frequently asked questions:
If you ignore repairing or replacing your roof when there are signs that its integrity has been compromised, it will lead to damaging the entire structure of your home as it becomes more exposed to the elements, which will deteriorate the siding, interior and foundation.
If you’re noticing leaks, your roof has already been compromised. It is recommended by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) that you get your home’s roof inspected at least twice a year – preferably every spring and fall season. Inspecting the roof for certain signs will help prevent total roof damage, signs like:
- Missing or cracked shingles
- Blistering or peeling paint
- Soggy, damp shingles
- Leakage in the attic
- Chimney leaks
There are many other signs that your home’s roof needs replacement. We can help find and point them out (if any). You can get your roof inspected for FREE by Parker Roofing Contractors.
A roof has an average lifespan of about 20 years. It may vary depending on the roof material and roof type, as some materials have a longer lifespan and some roof types and materials don’t last as long. We will gladly help you choose the best roof material and type for your home.
It’s always best when replacing a roof to TEAR OFF the existing one rather than ROOF OVER the old one. Most of the time we recommend your old roof be completely removed, as we need to address the root of the problem before covering it up again. Unless the initial roof is a single, problem-free layer (which we check for), it’s best to avoid having more problems in the future by removing the old roof. We will inspect your roof for FREE to see whether your old roof is worth keeping on or not.
It’s hard to give an exact answer without looking at your roof, as the time it will take depends on the type of roof. With most residential properties, we are able to replace a roof anywhere from one day to a week. The best way to know is to get a FREE estimate on your roof.
We STRONGLY recommend you don’t do this, as the labor and logistics are sometimes overwhelming for the untrained and inexperienced. It’s also very unsafe to be up on your roof without proper equipment and training. We can give you estimates and options to choose from before replacing or repairing your roof.
What is the best car? As this is a subjective question, we wish we had a simple answer for this – what may be best for your neighbor’s roof might not be best for your roof. It depends on your roof’s pitch, shape and style. We can give you a better answer to what is the best roof for you after inspecting it for FREE.
