Hail Damage Repair
Shingle Hail Damage 

Hail Damage is the main reason why 68% of roofs are repaired in Colorado. Even pea sized hail will cause a dark area where the grains or granules of the shingle have been knocked off and the base of the shingle is exposed. Recent hail impacts have a shiny look because the base material has been freshly exposed. Eventually the “bruised” area will become weathered. Legacy provides hail damage repair or replacement estimates at no cost.

 How does hail damage affect my roof?

Hail damage to asphalt shingles includes severe granule loss, material removal at the edges of the shingles and penetration. New asphalt shingles are more resistant to hail impact than older shingles since the asphalt becomes more brittle with age. Warmer shingles are more compliant and more resistant to fracture from hail when compared with colder shingles. Shingles rely on a structurally sound substrate for hail damage resistance. Flexible roof sheathing allows the shingles to flex during impact causing damage, while more rigid roof sheathing supports the shingle during impact resulting in less shingle damage.

As a result, Legacy makes sure to only use rigid sheathing whenever possible. Ensuring that our lifetime guarantee live up to it’s promise!

Most hail damage repair related damage is cosmetic and does not affect the useful life of roof shingles. In other cases severe wood splitting, significant granule loss, penetration of the shingle and fracture may require roof replacement. In these cases, Legacy is here to help!
