When Hail Damage Requires A Complete Replacement
Your insurance company will likely recommend a roof replacement when hail damage exceeds 30% of the surface area. When hailstones are around 1 inch in diameter, that can happen pretty easily.
Simple dents can lead to more severe issues down the road. Cracks due to hail damage will likely leak and develop mold inside your home. It’s best to report the hail damage to your insurance company as soon as possible so your roof replacement gets covered by your insurance policy. Storm damage claims require documentation and evidence which a licensed and trained professional can help with and provide with an immediate and thorough inspection.

How Hailstones Can Damage Your Roof
When hail impacts your roof, the damage it creates can range from minor to significant. Dents, dings, punctures, cracks, and granule loss caused by hail will damage your roof in the following ways and may require a full replacement.

Punctures & Cracks
Granule Loss
Why Roof Inspections Are So Important After Hail Storms
It’s important after any hailstorm to inspect your roof for signs of damage. Minor hail damage can be repaired and the sooner the better—you may think a few dings here and there are no big deal, but if not repaired, the dings can become a big deal. More serious damages may require a roof replacement. And if not found immediately, most insurance policies will not pay for the repairs if leaks occur later on.
Even if you are comfortable climbing on top of your roof, it is advisable to have a professional roof inspection conducted by a licensed Illinois or Iowa roofing contractor. The untrained eye might not see issues that are easy and relatively inexpensive repairs if quickly addressed.
Visible Dents
Dents in metal flashings, gutters, and downspouts are a good indicator your roof might have sustained similar damage.
Damaged Shingles
Cracked, broken, and/or missing shingles require replacement. Note that if most of your shingles look uneven or have significant wear, it could mean an entire roof replacement.
Granule Accumulation
Granules from asphalt shingles that collect in gutters usually indicate that the shingles are deteriorating and require replacement.Leaks or Stains
Water stains on your ceilings or walls may indicate your roof has been compromised and could require replacement.
When Roof Replacement is Necessary
A roof inspection following a hailstorm may recommend roof replacement if any one or more of the following conditions are present.
Extensive Damage
If 70% of your roof has visible damage and multiple shingles are cracked and/or missing, roof replacement is more cost-effective than repairs.
Underlayment Exposure
If hail damages your shingles to the point that the underlayment is exposed, you risk significant leaks which can only be avoided by a full roof replacement.
Old Roof
If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan and has sustained hail damage, it might be time for a complete roof replacement. This is especially true for older asphalt roofs, which typically last around 20 years.
Insurance Claim Considerations
If your roof suffers significant hail damage, it’s essential to file a claim with your insurance company. Depending on your policy, you may be eligible for a full roof replacement if the damage is extensive.
Report the damage as soon as possible to your carrier. They can guide you through the claims process and are experienced in working with professional roof inspectors to assess potential storm damages. A thorough roof inspection documents all the damages, including taking clear photos to support written notes. The more complete the documentation, the quicker your claim is processed and you have the funds to complete the necessary repairs, including a complete roof replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured in Illinois 104.019255, Iowa C147349, and Wisconsin DC-022300173.
You don’t want a fly-by-night contractor that, in many cases, leaves your roof in worse condition than it was or just takes the down payment and runs. We are happy to provide proof of insurance, licensing, and references.
- Does my roof need to be repaired or replaced?
The best way to determine if your roof needs repairs or a full replacement is with a professional inspection. We assess your roof’s condition and provide the most practical solution that fits your budget and long-term needs.
If your roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it is often the more cost-effective option rather than making repeated repairs.
For storm-damaged roofs, insurance companies typically require repairs if less than 30% of the roof is affected. If the damage exceeds 30%, they will likely recommend a full replacement to ensure long-term protection.
- How long will my roof last?
The life expectancy of CertainTeed asphalt shingle roofs varies based on the type of shingle:
- Strip Shingles (3-Tab) – Typically last 20-25 years, depending on climate and maintenance. These are the most affordable but have the shortest lifespan.
- Architectural Shingles (Dimensional/Laminate) – Expected to last 25-30 years, with some premium lines lasting up to 40 years. These offer better durability and wind resistance.
- Luxury Shingles (Designer/Premium) – Can last 30-50 years, thanks to their heavyweight construction and superior materials. These provide the highest durability, impact resistance, and curb appeal.
The life expectancy of other types of roofs ranges widely:
- Metal roofs last 40-70 years
- Wood (cedar shake shingles) last 20-40 years
- Slate roofs last 75+ years
Proper installation, ventilation, and routine maintenance can help maximize the lifespan of any roof.
- How can I be sure I’m choosing the right contractor?
Here’s how to make the best choice:
- Get multiple quotes – Aim for at least three estimates from reputable contractors. If a quote is significantly lower, they may be cutting corners. If it’s too high, they could be overcharging.
- Check reputation & reviews – Look for customer testimonials, online reviews, and local references to ensure the company has a solid track record.
- Verify licensing & insurance – A trustworthy contractor should be licensed, insured, and able to provide proof upon request.
- Look for professionalism – A legitimate contractor typically has branded trucks, uniforms, and a well-organized process for handling your project.
- Assess communication & trust – Go with a company that answers your questions clearly, explains your options, and makes you feel comfortable and confident in your decision.
A great roofing contractor should offer quality work, transparency, and reliability—not just the lowest price. Do your research and choose wisely!
