Featured Project Maple Grove Hail Damage Roof Replacement in Two Days Henry walked out of his Maple Grove home and found shingles lying in the grass around the foundation. That is the kind of thing that tells you a storm did more than rattle the windows, and it is why he picked up the phone and called us. Henry is a homeowner in Maple Grove, Minnesota, and his roof had just taken a direct hit from a hailstorm that moved through the area. When we got up top for the inspection, the roof was missing a lot of granules, had visible missing shingles, and showed bruised matting across the surface. The whole project — inspection, claim, and a full hail damage roof replacement — wrapped up in mid-May. Key Takeaways THE CHALLENGE Hail stripped granules, bruised the shingle mats, and tore shingles loose onto the lawn. THE SYSTEM We installed a complete Owens Corning Duration system, including matching underlayment, ice and water barrier, and vents. THE RESULT All 54 squares were torn off and replaced in two days, and Henry paid only his deductible. Shingles on the ground are the obvious sign, but the real problem was the damage you cannot see from the driveway. Granule loss and bruised matting mean the shingle has lost its protective layer and its structural bond, so the roof will fail long before anyone sees a drip on the ceiling. Because the damage was storm-related and widespread, a full replacement through Henry's insurance was the honest call — and we filed the claim on his behalf to get it moving. Project Summary Client Profile: Henry, residential homeowner Project Location: Maple Grove, Minnesota Primary Objective: Document the hail damage and get the roof approved and replaced through insurance with Insurance Claims Assistance System Installed: A complete Owens Corning Shingles Duration system with matching underlayment, ice and water barrier, and vents Key Outcome: 54 squares torn off and reinstalled in two days, with Henry out of pocket for his deductible only Hail Damage Found in Maple Grove Our inspection started where Henry's did — on the ground, where shingles had landed after the storm. Up on the roof, the picture was clear: heavy granule loss, shingles missing outright, and matting that was bruised from hail strikes. That combination is the classic hail signature, and it is exactly what an adjuster needs to see documented. A roof in that condition is on a countdown. Once the granules are knocked off, the asphalt underneath is exposed, and bruised mats are soft spots that turn into leaks down the road. Henry called us before water ever reached his ceiling, which is the best time to handle it — repairs get far more complicated once the sheathing and attic insulation get wet. Claim, Adjuster, and Two-Day Install We filed the insurance claim for Henry and met the adjuster on-site. We walked him through every area of damage we found; he agreed, and the carrier paid for the roof. After the supplements were handled, we sent in the invoice to get the depreciation released, so the paperwork closed out cleanly instead of dragging on for months. From claim to new roof, the whole thing took a matter of a few weeks. Once the claim was approved, our crew tore off and replaced the entire 54-square roof in two days with no surprises. We ran an Equipter during tear-off so the old shingles went straight into the machine instead of onto the lawn and landscaping, which is how we keep a property intact on a roof that size.

A New Roof for One Deductible Henry ended up with a complete roofing system from a single manufacturer: Owens Corning Duration shingles over Owens Corning underlayment and ice and water barrier, with Owens Corning vents handling the exhaust. Keeping every component in one family is how we protect the warranty and make sure the parts work together instead of against each other. The job went smoothly from the first inspection through the final cleanup, and Henry was thrilled with how it all came together. Out of pocket, he paid his deductible — nothing more.

No. Your carrier cannot drop you or spike your individual rate because Mother Nature decided it was your home's turn to get nailed with hail. Hail is outside your control, and that is exactly what the coverage is there for. On Henry's roof, the claim was approved, and he paid only his deductible. How do I know if my roof has hail damage? Look at your neighborhood first. If other homes on your block had a total loss on their roofs, yours likely took the same or similar damage from the same storm. Granule loss and bruised matting are hard to spot from the ground, so the only way to know for sure is to have someone walk the roof and inspect it up close. Is it too late to file if the hail hit months ago? It is usually not too late. Most carriers give you one to two years from the storm date to take care of it, so a hailstorm from last season is often still claimable. That said, the sooner you have the roof documented, the easier it is to tie the damage to a specific weather event — so get it inspected rather than waiting on it.
