Storm Damage Repair and Damage Inspection near Raleigh, Wilmington NC
What does a hailstorm damaged roof look like?
When hail hits a shingle, the granules get knocked loose causing fractures to the fiberglass matting that supports the asphalt and granules. Your roof will eventually suffer greater damage due to the weakening of the shingles over time. As the asphalt around the fractured fiberglass wears away, your roof will begin to leak. In Raleigh and Wilmington, this is a problem because wind and rain tend to formulate quickly in this region.
