Full replacement usually makes sense when hail causes functional damage across large roof areas, not just cosmetic marks. On commercial roofs, that means punctures or splits in the membrane, broken seams or flashing, wet insulation, repeated leaks, or damage so scattered that patching won’t restore service life or make financial sense. When This Applies For…
Hail can crack shingles without leaving an obvious hole. The giveaway is a bruise: a soft spot where the asphalt mat fractured under the granules. Look for tight clusters of impacts, granules collecting in gutters, and matching “collateral” dents on vents, flashing, or AC fins. If you find soft bruises or repeated impact patterns, treat…
Inspect your roof as soon as conditions are safe, ideally within 24 hours, and schedule a professional roof inspection after high winds within 1 to 3 days for a commercial building. Fast action helps catch lifted seams, flashing damage, hidden punctures, and trapped moisture before they turn into leaks, tenant issues, or a larger repair…
After a windy night, most people scan the yard for fallen branches and look for missing shingles. That helps, but it’s only part of the story. Wind damage often starts quietly, with lifted tabs, broken seal strips, and sharp creases that are easy to miss from the ground. That matters because a roof can look…
A wind damaged roof usually shows clear signs after a storm, lifted edges, loose flashing, missing metal, scattered ballast, new leaks, or fresh ceiling stains. On commercial buildings, damage often starts at corners, perimeters, and around rooftop units. If anything looks newly lifted, wrinkled, or wet, treat it as active damage and have it checked…

Yes. 50 mph winds can damage a commercial roof, especially if the roof is older, loose at the edges, or already weakened by leaks, wet insulation, or failed seams. On flat and low-slope systems, wind often lifts corners, edge metal, and membrane seams first. Even when damage looks minor, water can get in and turn…
Storm damage to a roof refers to sudden, weather-related impacts that affect how the roof performs or protects the building. On commercial roofing systems, this can include hail damage (bruising or punctures), lifted seams, torn flashing, wind uplift, debris impact, and new leaks after rainfall. Damage caused by age, lack of maintenance, or normal wear…
You know your roof has hail damage when a recent storm is followed by random impact marks, dents on soft metals, bruising or punctures in the roofing surface, damaged flashing, or new interior leaks. On commercial buildings, the clearest signs often show up around seams, drains, rooftop units, and metal edges, not in one obvious…
Yes, quarter size hail damage can happen on a new asphalt shingle roof. A newer roof usually handles impact better than an older one, but it isn’t immune. One-inch hail can knock off granules, bruise the shingle mat, crack edges, and shorten roof life, especially when wind, storm speed, and hail density increase the force….
Nail pops on asphalt shingles show up as small, raised bumps where a shingle tab lifts because nail heads have pushed up. In the Minnesota climate, freeze-thaw swings make them easier to spot during late winter and early spring. Look for uneven shingle lines, lifted corners, exposed nail heads, and tiny cracks or granule loss…
Hail damage shingles usually show random, round bruises with granule loss, while foot traffic leaves scuffs, scratches, and repeated wear along walking paths. The key difference is pattern. Hail hits from above in scattered spots. Feet move in lines, often near roof access points, HVAC units, and service routes. Round and random often means hail….
