How the Right Roof Material Can Minimize Hail Damage

Some areas are more prone to severe weather, especially hail storms. Massive hailstones can leave significant damage to your roof, resulting in costly repairs or early deterioration of the system. 

However, with the right residential roofing choice, hailstorm damage can be minimized. Keep on reading to find out how. 

Hail Damage

A severe hail storm can damage your roof, with hailstones falling on your roof at an extremely fast rate. These stones cause physical damage to different parts of your roof, making it weak over time. Because of the dispersed nature of hail damage, a roof replacement may even be necessary. 

Quarter-sized hailstones can bruise and fracture shingles as well as remove its protective granules. Without these granules, shingles will be exposed to the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays. This can lead to early deterioration and eventually, system failure. Moreover, larger hailstones can cause roof leaks, which can risk your home of water damage.

Finding the Right Roofing Option

An experienced commercial and residential roofing company will help you determine the best roofing material for your home or building and area. It definitely pays to invest in a durable roofing system if you live in a place prone to hail storms. 

Besides roofing material, you must also select the right underlayment. Like roofing shingles, underlayment materials are also tested for impact. Usually, people dedicate their time deciding which roofing material they should choose without considering the underlayment. Further, underlayments can also help protect your home against high winds and fire.
