Roofing contractor replacing hail-bruised asphalt shingles and damaged flashing on a South Brunswick home after a summer storm

Hail damage repair is mostly detective work. A stone the size of a marble strips granules off an asphalt shingle and bruises the mat underneath, yet the roof still looks fine from the driveway. Six months later the bruise has cracked, water wicks into the underlayment, and you are chasing a stain across the ceiling of a 1960s ranch. We inspect every slope, not just the one facing the storm.

On a typical job we pull the damaged field course, check the plywood decking for rot, and reset the flashing at the chimney and pipe boots. If the deck feels soft underfoot, we replace it. We lay synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield along the eave, because Nor'easters and winter ice dams push meltwater sideways under shingles. Then new architectural shingles go down in staggered courses with ring-shank nails and a proper starter course at the rake.

Cost depends on how many squares need replacement, whether the sheathing survived, and what your insurance carrier approves. Roofs on older farmhouses and historic homes take longer than townhouse roofs from the 1990s. We document everything with Xactimate photos and a line-item estimate before anyone climbs down.

What's Included

A rapid damage inspection of every slope, ridge, valley, and roofline, not just the side the storm hit.
Emergency tarps over any opening so the next thunderstorm does not reach your attic insulation.
Replacement shingles matched as closely as the manufacturer allows to your existing asphalt shingle profile and color.
Replacement decking wherever hail has crushed the plywood or OSB sheathing beneath a bruised field course.
Synthetic underlayment and ice-and-water shield along the eave, where an ice dam pushes meltwater sideways.
Fresh flashing, mastic, and sealant at the chimney, pipe boots, and step flashing, which is where hail-driven rain gets in.
Xactimate line-item documentation and adjuster coordination so your insurance claim reflects the real scope of work.
A written roof estimate with the tear-off, material, and dumpster fees broken out before we start.

Our Hail Damage Repair Process

How Our Hail Damage Repair Process Works

We take your call, ask what the storm looked like on your street, and set a time to walk the roof while the damage is fresh.
Two of us climb with a ladder and safety harness, check the ridge, valley, hip, and every pipe boot, then photograph each hit with a roofing square in frame for scale.
We test bruised shingles by hand to separate simple granule loss from an actual fracture in the fiberglass mat.
If rain is coming, we set tarps over the exposed area the same day and leave them until materials land in the driveway.
You get a written line-item estimate showing squares, replacement decking, flashing, and dumpster cost with no padding.
Once you approve, we tear off the damaged courses, pry up the sheathing, and replace any plywood or OSB that has gone soft.
We install synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield at the eave, then staggered courses up to a new ridge cap.
Final walk includes a hose test at the chimney and vents plus a magnet sweep for nails before the dumpster leaves.

Signs You Need Hail Damage Repair

Signs Your Roof Took Hail Damage

Dents in your gutters and downspouts, which is the easiest hail marker to spot from the ground.
Bruised shingles with soft, dark spots that feel like a thumbprint pressed into the granulated surface.
Granule loss piling up in the gutter, leaving the asphalt shingle looking bare and gray.
Cracked or blistered shingle tabs after a summer thunderstorm drops marble-sized hail on your street.
Dented ridge caps, vent boots, and aluminum fascia, since soft metal takes hits that shingles hide.
Water stains on attic sheathing after a Nor'easter drives rain sideways under the field course.
Ice dam buildup at the eave every winter, a sign the underlayment is already compromised.
A sagging roofline or spongy roof deck, which usually means rot has been spreading quietly for months.

Hail Damage Repair — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does hail damage repair cost in South Brunswick?

Hail damage repair price depends on how many squares are bruised, whether the decking underneath survived, and what your carrier approves. We hand you a written line-item estimate before anything comes off the roof, so the number does not move once work starts. A single-slope mend costs far less than reshingling every field course.

Does homeowners insurance pay for hail damage repair?

Hail damage repair is usually covered when the storm date is documented and the damage is visible. We photograph every bruised shingle, dented vent boot, and cracked ridge cap, then file Xactimate documentation your adjuster can read. Most homeowners pay their deductible and nothing more.

How long does hail damage repair take?

Hail damage repair takes one day on a small repair and two to three days when a full slope comes off. Ordering replacement shingles in a discontinued color adds a week. Flat and metal roofing take longer because every seam and fastener gets sealed.

How do I know hail actually damaged my roof?

Hail damage repair work starts with a close inspection because bruises hide in plain sight. Look for granule loss in the gutter, dents in aluminum gutter aprons, and soft spots on shingle tabs. If your neighbor's roof was hit, yours almost certainly was too.

Can hail damage repair wait until spring?

Hail damage repair can wait a few weeks, but not through a winter. Water seeps into a cracked mat, freezes, and spalls the shingle from underneath. Ice dam formation at the eave is the clearest sign the underlayment has already lost its seal.

Does hail damage repair work on flat and metal roofing?

Hail damage repair on a flat roof means patching TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen where stones have punctured the membrane. Metal panel and standing-seam panel dents rarely leak, but the sealant washers under each fastener often need replacement. We check both before recommending anything.

Hail rolled through Kendall Park in June and stripped the granules off our back slope. They tarped it that same week, then walked me through the adjuster's scope line by line. New architectural shingles went on without anyone pushing me toward a whole roof.

Our colonial in Monmouth Junction had dents across the ridge caps and gutter. They photographed every hit with a roofing square for scale and filed the Xactimate paperwork with our carrier. Two days of work, and the driveway was magnet-swept before they left.

The old farmhouse in Dayton still has wood shake on the back, and the repair blends in better than I expected. They found rot in two rafter tails we did not know about and showed me the photos before replacing anything.
