There have been dozens of roofing and siding crews coming to Minnesota again this year (Storm Chasers).  Be cautious when choosing a contractor.  Service and warranty issues play a huge role in the construction industry.  Hire a contracter such as AAA Exteriors, who has an impressive       10 year labor warranty and will be around indeffinately.

Hail Damage?

Most people in Minnesota don't even realize they have had hail damage to their roof, siding or fascia.  Sometimes the hail marks can be very small.  We take our time and make sure the adjusters are VERY thorough! The impact of hail will loosen, or remove granules from your shingles. Hail can also leave tiny to large pits in your siding, fascia and window sashes as well.

The granules protect the matting from sunlight and Ultra Violet Light (U.V.). The roofing asphalt will deteriorate very quickly once it has had hail and is exposed to the sun. This is the reason damaged roofing will prematurely fail.  Damaged roofs may not immediately show up visually to the inexperienced observer. In fact, the effects sometimes may not be visible or apparent for about a year or two. The effects of a hailstorm void the shingle manufacturer's warranty, as they cannot warrant against "natural disaster" such as hailstorms.

Below Is How Hail Is Formed

Hail forms when frozen water drops are uplifted in turbulent wind regimes during thunderstorms. The frozen drops of water increase in size and eventually fall to earth as hail, having been driven by a combination of gravity and wind forces. Hail stones vary in size from pea size (1/4 inch diameter, little roof damage), through marble size (3/4 inch in diameter, threshold damage to roof materials) to golf ball size (one inch in diameter, typically severe damage to roofing materials).
