Hail damage isn't always visible from the ground — but it can shorten your roof's life by years and void your manufacturer warranty if not addressed. Atlas Roofing inspects Maple Heights roofs for hail damage for free, documents what we find, and works your insurance claim from start to finish. If your roof qualifies, replacement is typically covered minus your deductible.
When storms hit Maple Heights, what we find depends partly on housing age. Most homes here date from 1940s through the 1960s, and older roofs respond to wind, hail, and ice differently than newer ones.
Maple Heights is primarily 1940s-60s postwar housing, dense, and most homes are now in their third roof cycle since original construction — the original framing on Cape Cods along Libby and Granger is generally sound but original 2x4 rafters at 24-inch centers are sometimes undersized for modern shingle weight, which we evaluate during tear-off.
Postwar Cape dormers are the recurring leak point — old flashing was often just tarpaper folded, and we strip and rebuild the flashing assembly every time.
Often you can't tell from the ground. We provide free inspections that include close-up photos of any hail strikes. Look for dents in your gutters or AC fins as a clue — if those have damage, your roof likely does too.
Often yes, if the damage is widespread (typically 8+ strikes per 100 sq ft per insurance industry standards). If qualifies, your insurance pays for the full replacement minus your deductible.
Most policies require claims within 1 year of the event. The sooner the better — fresh damage is easier to document and date.
