Hail damage roof inspection in Northglenn

What we check on Northglenn roofs

Northglenn was in the direct path of the May 30, 2024 storm, and many roofs there have never been inspected since. Most homes are 1960s and 1970s ranches, bi-levels and two-stories, often on their third or fourth roof. We pay close attention to the low-pitch sections over patios and additions, where hail breaks the surface and water sits, and to roofs with more than one layer, where damage can be harder to see. On the newer homes on the north side, we check the shingles for cracked mats and granule loss and document vents, gutters and window wraps, which show hail size clearly.

How a free hail inspection works

1. Ground check. We start with the soft metals: gutters, downspouts, vents, window wraps and the AC unit. Dents there show how big the hail was and which direction it came from.
2. On the roof. We walk every slope we can safely walk and mark test areas, counting hits on the shingles and checking for cracked mats, missing granules and broken seals. We also check the flashing, pipe jacks and ridge.
3. Attic, if needed. On older homes or when there's a leak, we check the decking and look for water stains from below.
4. Photo report. You get the photos and a plain-language summary: no damage, minor repair, or damage that's likely worth a claim.
5. You decide. Filing a claim is up to you. If you file and hire us, we meet your adjuster on the roof and show the damage. You stay in charge of your claim.

Hail damage or normal wear?

Hail leaves round, random hits: dark spots where granules were knocked off, soft bruises you can feel, and cracks in the shingle mat. Normal aging looks different: even granule loss across the whole roof, curling edges, and cracking along the sun-facing slopes. Insurance generally covers storm damage, not wear, so telling the two apart is the main point of the inspection. Read more in our after-the-storm checklist.

Northglenn hail inspection questions

Hail was 2.25 inches in Northglenn in May 2024. Is my roof definitely damaged?

Not definitely. Hail varies street by street. That's why we inspect each slope and photograph what we find, then tell you plainly whether there's damage worth claiming.

Is it too late to claim the May 2024 storm?

It depends on your policy. Your policy sets the deadline for reporting damage, so check it and get an inspection soon. We can also check whether newer storms, like the June 2026 hail, hit your home.
