Resources for Homeowners and Contractors Facing Repairs and Re-Roofing from Hailstorms

Westlake Royal Roofing Solutions offers homeowners valuable resource guides on what to do about hailstorm damage.

Every spring and summer, homeowners across much of the United States experience the hassles associated with hailstorms and the damage they cause to residential roofs. In 2022 alone, State Farm Insurance paid $2.9 billion in homeowner claims, with combined home and auto damages increasing a whopping $1 billion from the previous years. Westlake Royal Roofing Solutions has supported homeowners and building professionals after natural disasters for more than 70 years, and intimately understands the urgencies and misinformation that often follow a major storm event. The company’s team is readily available to help homeowners and contractors navigate the re-roofing process, including identifying hidden damage and securing roofing materials that provide superior performance to help avoid similar problems in future storms. 

The following resources are available to homeowners:

• Identify hail damage: Hail damage isn’t always easy to spot, and leaks don’t always occur right away. Visit this blog for tips on how to identify hail damage on different types of roofs, as well as how to find a reputable roofing contractor to conduct repairs and replacement.
• Product options: Homeowners can stop the re-roofing cycle and potentially lower their insurance premiums by investing in roofing systems that resist impact damage from hail.
