Understanding Hail Damage and Its Impact on Your Property
When severe weather strikes, hailstorms can inflict devastating damage to residential and commercial properties within minutes. At TWB Contracting LLC, we specialize in comprehensive hail restoration services that address both visible and hidden damage to protect your investment. Hailstones ranging from pea-sized to baseball-sized can create significant structural issues, with the Insurance Information Institute reporting that hail causes approximately $15 billion in property damage annually across the United States. Our restoration process begins with a thorough assessment of your property’s condition, examining roofing systems, siding, gutters, windows, and outdoor structures to identify all areas requiring attention.
The complexity of hail damage often extends beyond what property owners initially observe. While large dents and broken materials are obvious indicators, we frequently discover compromised roof underlayment, fractured seals around vents and skylights, and microscopic cracks in protective coatings that can lead to water infiltration months after the initial storm. Our 15 years of experience handling large residential and commercial restoration claims has taught us that early intervention prevents cascading damage that can multiply repair costs exponentially. We offer free estimates to help property owners understand the full scope of necessary repairs before making restoration decisions.
Comprehensive Roof Restoration After Hail Events
Roofing systems bear the brunt of hail impact, requiring specialized expertise to properly restore their protective capabilities. We begin every roof restoration project with detailed documentation, capturing high-resolution images and measurements that support insurance claims while ensuring complete damage assessment. Our certified technicians evaluate shingle integrity, checking for granule loss, exposed mat material, and impact fractures that compromise water resistance. Asphalt shingles typically show bruising patterns where hail strikes have broken the internal mat structure, while metal roofing may display denting that affects water flow and aesthetic appeal.
The restoration process involves strategic decision-making about repair versus replacement based on damage extent, roof age, and insurance coverage parameters. We coordinate directly with insurance adjusters, providing detailed reports that substantiate claim values while ensuring all manufacturer warranties remain intact. Our 24/7 emergency service means we can implement temporary protective measures immediately after storms pass, preventing interior water damage while permanent repairs are scheduled. Throughout Greater Nashville area, property owners trust our systematic approach that prioritizes both immediate protection and long-term durability.
Siding and Exterior Surface Restoration
Hail damage to siding materials requires different restoration techniques depending on whether your property features vinyl, aluminum, wood, or fiber cement exteriors. We assess impact resistance ratings and damage patterns to determine whether spot repairs or full panel replacement provides the most cost-effective solution. Vinyl siding often shows circular cracks or punctures at impact points, while aluminum siding develops permanent dents that cannot be repaired without replacement. Our restoration teams match existing materials and colors precisely, ensuring seamless integration between original and replacement sections.
Beyond aesthetic concerns, damaged siding compromises your building envelope’s moisture barrier, potentially allowing water intrusion that leads to mold growth, insulation degradation, and structural wood rot. We inspect house wrap and moisture barriers behind damaged siding, replacing compromised sections to maintain proper water management. Our comprehensive approach includes evaluating and restoring:
- Window trim and casing: examining for cracks and ensuring proper sealing
- Corner posts and J-channels: replacing damaged components that affect siding stability
- Soffit and fascia boards: restoring ventilation pathways and roof edge protection
- Exterior doors and frames: addressing dents and ensuring proper operation
