Across the country, hail damage accounts for over $1 billion each year, and this is just the damage it does to roofs. In Honolulu, HI, when your home and roof gets hit by hail, call Rainbow Roof Maintenance immediately following the storm. Their professional roofers will inspect your roof for damage and make any necessary repairs. This will prevent any hidden harm to your home from evolving into more costly repairs in the future. 

After a storm hits your home, here is how to properly gauge any hail damage that might have occurred to your roof: 

• Contact Your Insurance Company: Many homeowners have insurance policies in place that cover hail damage to their home. If you are one of these people, you should call your insurance adjuster after any hail storm. They will be able to spot damage you otherwise might have overlooked on your own. 
• Closely Inspect Shingles: You might believe your roof only sustained damage if shingles are missing; however, hail actually puts dents in your shingles that could cause them to weaken and allow water to build up under your roof and slowly cause damage to your roof and home. 
• Check Soft Metals Around The Roof: Typically, hail damage will happen to the vents, exhaust caps, and vinyl trim on your roof before the shingles. Be sure to check and see if these areas were hurt before inspecting the shingles.
• Know The Type Of Damage To Expect: Different roofing materials will be affected differently by hail. Usually, aluminum siding, gutters, and shingles will accrue dings. Vinyl, on-the-other-hand, is more prone to cracking. The age of your roof combined with the size of the hail can also play a role in what damage occurs.
