Do I Actually Have Hail Damage?
The only way to know is an up-close inspection, because hail damage rarely shows from the ground. We'll get on the roof and tell you honestly.
What Storm And Hail Damage Actually Does To A Roof
Minnesota roofs take hail, straight-line wind, ice, and the occasional tornado, and storm damage is the most common reason a roof needs work before its time. Twin Cities hail season peaks May through August, and the problem is that most of what it does doesn't look like damage from the ground.
Hail bruises shingles and knocks loose the granules that protect the asphalt underneath; those spots fail quietly over the next few years. Wind lifts and creases shingles, breaks their seal, and tears at ridge caps and flashing. A single storm can shorten a roof's life by a decade without ever causing a visible leak, which is exactly why a detailed, up-close inspection matters more than a guess.
- Hail: granule loss, bruising, cracked mats, dented vents, gutters, and fascia
- Wind: lifted, creased, or missing shingles; loosened ridge and flashing
- Debris & trees: punctures, structural hits, and torn decking
- Ice & water: ice-dam backups that force water under the shingles

The Honest Inspection, Before You File
Here's where 30+ years pays off: we tell you whether you actually have damage before you call your insurer. So we get on the roof, photograph everything, and give you a straight answer.
If the damage is real, we document it thoroughly: dated photos, measurements, a damage map, and the specific evidence adjusters look for. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too, and you'll have a clean bill of health for your records. Either way, you leave with facts, not a sales pitch.
How The Insurance Claim Works, And What We Do
Here's the path, and exactly what we do at each step. We don't act as your public adjuster, and we can't give legal advice.
1. Inspection & Documentation
We inspect, photograph, and document the damage before anything is disturbed. You get a copy of everything.
2. You File The Claim
You contact your insurer and file. You own the claim.
3. The Adjuster Meeting
We can meet your insurance adjuster on-site and walk the roof with them. We talk to your adjuster about two things: what is damaged, and what it costs to fix.
4. Restoration, Done Correctly
Once the claim is approved, we restore the roof to code with premium materials. If we find damage the loss statement missed, we send our revised itemized estimate to your carrier, with you copied on it.
That Is Where Our Lane Ends
We do not represent you, adjust your claim, or negotiate on your behalf. You own the claim. If your carrier denies it, we stop, we hand you everything we have documented at no charge, and what happens next is yours to decide.
What We Will Never Do
The storm-chasing industry gave roofing a bad name. We're the opposite of it, by design.
- We never create or inflate damage. If it isn't there, we won't invent it.
- We never "cover," waive, or eat your deductible. Minnesota law forbids it, and if a contractor pays your deductible, your insurer is not obligated to consider that contractor's estimate. Any contractor who offers it is telling you how they treat everything else.
- We never door-knock or storm-chase your neighborhood after a hailstorm. We're a local, licensed company that's here for the life of your home, not a quick buck on a truck with out-of-state plates.
Aligning with what's best for the Twin Cities is exactly what makes us the safer choice after a storm.
Repair, Restore, Or Replace?
Not every storm means a new roof. Sometimes a targeted repair restores the roof completely; sometimes the damage is widespread enough that a full replacement is the correct outcome. We give you the honest read and the documentation to back it up, then let the evidence and your policy decide.
- Localized damage, sound roof → repair. See roof repair.
- Widespread hail or wind damage, or an aging roof pushed past its life → replacement. See roof replacement.
We Know Twin Cities Storms
We're based in the north and northeast metro, and we respond where we live. When hail moved through St. Anthony and the northeast metro on June 19, 2026, we were inspecting roofs in the neighborhoods around Silver Lake because people called us, not because we knocked on doors like the storm-chasers who follow the weather from three states away. Here's the June 19, 2026 hailstorm record.
Because we're local, we know which storms actually hit which suburbs and what the damage looked like. That context protects you from paying for damage a storm didn't cause.
Areas We Serve
Based in St. Anthony and Northeast Minneapolis, we respond to storm and hail damage across the Twin Cities metro: Hennepin and Ramsey counties, and south down the I-35 corridor to Lakeville. Find your city.

Inspect first. A documented inspection tells you whether you actually have damage before you call your insurer.

Yes. We can walk the roof with your adjuster. We talk to your adjuster about two things: what is damaged, and what it costs to fix.
No, in Minnesota that's illegal, and it's a red flag. We never cover or waive deductibles, and we'd encourage you to be cautious with anyone who does.
Hail season in Minnesota runs spring through early fall and peaks May through August, the same months most severe wind events roll through. If a storm has passed over your neighborhood in that window, a documented inspection is the smart first step.
