Checking for hail damage after a storm can mean the
difference between having to spend thousands of dollars on a complete
re-roofing job and just spending a few hundred on some repairs. Of course, in
each case you might have to struggle and the work involved isn’t necessarily
easy. However, regardless of the difficulty or the time being wasted, you can
get a far better bargain and complete the project with less effort and fewer expenses,
if you know how to properly evaluate the damage.
Failure to have a proper inspection by a Crystal Lakeroofing contractor can lead to anything from an incorrect evaluation to an
inspection that ends up giving you a hefty roof repair bill, even though the
problem can be resolved without so much money.
The fastest way to evaluate hail damage is to make sure that
your roof isn’t too battered. Broken shingles and damaged flashing will be a
dead giveaway, so you can see where the larger pieces fell with ease just by
looking at the damage. Another way is to check for leaks. Look in the attic and
make sure that water isn’t seeping through to the interior walls.
Finally, if checking for tiny leaks in the attic or getting
on a large ladder to check your roof’s exterior is too difficult, or you’re not
very tech-savvy, then you can always call in the pros. Your local roofing
contractors will be more than happy to check your roof, and they’ll even
provide you with a detailed overview and estimate on your roofing expenses.
