Hail Damage Roof Repair in Cherry Hills Village, CO

Hail damage on asphalt shingles looks like dark, circular bruises 0.5–2 inches across, exposed black mat fibers where granules have been knocked off, and shingle surfaces that feel soft when pressed. Most damage is invisible from the ground. Other indicators: dented gutters and downspouts, dimpled metal vents, cracked skylight covers, and shredded screens. The Front Range averages 3–4 damaging hail events per year, so any hailstorm with stones over 1 inch warrants a free Red Hawk inspection within 30 days.

Hail at or above 1 inch in diameter (quarter-sized) typically damages standard 3-tab asphalt shingles. Architectural shingles usually need 1.25–1.5 inch hail (golf-ball sized) for functional damage. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles can handle 1.75–2 inch (egg-sized) hail without functional failure. Wind direction during the storm matters too — hail driven sideways at 60+ mph damages siding and windows even at smaller sizes. The NWS and SPC archive every reported hail size, which Red Hawk references in claim documentation.

Most hail damage is invisible from the ground. Granule loss spots, mat bruising, soft shingles, hidden cracks under tabs, and damaged underlayment all require on-roof inspection to detect. Adjusters and homeowners checking from a ladder routinely miss 40–60% of the actual damage. Red Hawk's inspectors walk every slope, mark each strike with chalk for photo documentation, and measure damage density per square. This is why a free professional inspection — not a drive-by or ladder check — is critical after any hailstorm.
