Storm & Hail Damage Roofing in Minnesota
Professional Storm Damage Roof Inspections, Repairs, and Replacements — Done Right the First Time
Storm Damage Roofing & Repair in Minnesota
Severe weather is a fact of life in Minnesota. Hail, high winds, heavy rain, and winter ice can all damage roofing systems in ways that aren’t always visible from the ground. At Skyline Roofing, we specialize in storm damage roofing inspections, repair, and replacement, helping homeowners identify damage early and restore their roof properly — without shortcuts or pressure.
Our focus is simple: accurate assessments, clear guidance, and durable repairs that protect your home long after the storm has passed.
What Storm Damage Does to Your Roof
Storm damage isn’t always obvious. Even when shingles remain in place, severe weather can compromise your roofing system in ways that lead to leaks, moisture intrusion, and premature roof failure.
Common types of storm-related roof damage include:
Hail impacts that fracture shingle mats or dislodge protective granules
Wind uplift that loosens or creases shingles
Damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof transitions
Ice dam–related water backup during winter freeze–thaw cycles
Hidden moisture intrusion beneath shingles and underlayment
A professional inspection is the only reliable way to determine whether storm damage has occurred and what repairs are truly necessary.
Hail Damage Roof Inspection & Repair
Hail storms are one of the most common causes of roof damage in Minnesota, yet hail damage is often difficult for homeowners to identify from the ground. Even when shingles appear intact, hail impacts can fracture the shingle mat, dislodge protective granules, and shorten the lifespan of the roofing system.
Our hail damage roof inspections focus on identifying both visible and functional damage, including:
Granule loss that exposes asphalt to UV deterioration
Bruising or fractures beneath the shingle surface
Damaged flashing, vents, and soft metal components
Collateral damage that may not cause immediate leaks
If hail damage is isolated, hail damage roof repair may be sufficient. In cases where damage is widespread or compromises the integrity of the roofing system, hail damage roof replacement may be the most effective long-term solution.
We document all hail-related findings clearly so homeowners understand the condition of their roof and can make informed decisions moving forward.
Storm Damage Roof Inspections
After a major storm, time matters — but accuracy matters more.
Our storm damage inspections include:
A full evaluation of shingles, flashing, ventilation, and roof penetrations
Identification of both visible and hidden damage
Photo documentation of affected areas
A clear explanation of findings and recommended next steps
We focus on functionality and long-term protection, not just surface-level issues. If repairs are sufficient, we’ll tell you. If replacement is warranted, we’ll explain why. This includes inspections following hail storms, where damage may not be immediately visible but can significantly impact roof performance over time.

Storm Damage Roof Repair
Not all storm damage requires full replacement. When damage is localized and the roofing system is otherwise sound, targeted repairs can restore performance and extend the life of your roof.
Storm-related roof repairs may include:
Replacing damaged or missing shingles
Repairing shingles and components damaged by hail impact
Repairing flashing failures caused by wind or ice
Sealing exposed fasteners or penetrations
Addressing leaks caused by storm-driven water intrusion
Our goal is always the most practical long-term solution, not the most expensive one.

Storm Damage Roof Replacement
In some cases, storm damage is widespread or severe enough that repair is no longer the best option. This is common after significant hail events, repeated wind damage, or when an older roof is pushed past its remaining service life. Roof replacement is commonly recommended after severe hail storms when damage affects large areas of the roof or compromises shingle integrity across multiple slopes.
A storm damage roof replacement may be recommended when:
Shingle damage is widespread across multiple slopes
Protective granules are significantly lost
Underlayment or decking has been compromised
Repeated repairs are no longer cost-effective
When replacement is needed, we install roofing systems designed for Minnesota’s climate, with proper ventilation, flashing, and ice-and-water protection where it matters most.

Storm Damage FAQs
-
It’s best to schedule an inspection as soon as conditions are safe. Early inspections help identify damage before leaks or moisture intrusion cause further problems.
-
Yes. Many types of storm damage weaken roofing materials without immediate leaks. Left unaddressed, this damage often leads to premature roof failure.
-
No roof can prevent all storm damage. However, a properly installed roofing system is far more resistant to wind, water intrusion, and ice dam–related issues.
-
Hail damage isn’t always visible from the ground. Signs can include granule loss, bruised shingles, damaged flashing, or dents in soft metal components. A professional hail damage roof inspection is the best way to determine whether hail has compromised your roofing system.
-
No. Minor or localized hail damage can often be repaired if the roof is otherwise in good condition. Widespread hail damage, repeated impacts, or damage to an older roof may require replacement to ensure long-term protection.
