Metal Roof Replacement for Hail Damage

In October of 2021, a storm came through Oklahoma City with hail the size of golf balls, causing significant damage to this roof you see behind me, warranting a full roof replacement.

My name’s Olivia with RestoreMasters, let’s take a look around.

So the reason we’re at this job today is because shortly after that storm, we reached out to the owner and offered them a courtesy damage assessment to help them determine what the extent of the damages were. Let me show you what we found.

The main test we use to identify hail damage is by applying chalk to the roof, which exposes the indentations caused by the hail. The hail indentations also cause micro-fractures to the surface of the metal. These micro-fractures allow rust to formulate, which corrodes the roof. We use this evidence to obtain approval for a full roof replacement for the client.

So now that we’ve started the project, we’re tearing off the old damaged metal, and we’re going back with a four-inch vinyl back insulation, and topping it off with a 24 gauge R panel metal roofing system.

Just because your roof isn’t leaking doesn’t mean you don’t have damage. If you’d like a courtesy inspection, give us a call. I’m Olivia with RestoreMasters, We Roof America.
