Hail & Roof Damage in Iowa

Illustration of hailstones striking an asphalt shingle roof, leaving cracked and bruised shingles
Hail can crack or bruise shingles in ways that are hard to see from the ground.

Hail and high winds can crack shingles, dent metal, and break the seal on roofing materials. Damage is often hard to see from the ground and can lead to leaks months later. In Iowa, common risks include hail and severe thunderstorms, winter storms, ice dams and frozen pipes.

Signs you may need help

  • Granule loss or bruised/cracked shingles
  • Dents on gutters, vents, flashing or siding
  • Missing or lifted shingles after high wind
  • New ceiling stains or attic moisture
