What Central Oregon Homeowners Need to Know About Roof Damage After a Hailstorm

When Central Oregon was hit with the largest hailstorm in over 30 years on Sunday, August 3rd, 2025, most people were focused on the obvious damage: dented vehicles, shattered windows, torn-up landscaping. What many don’t realize is that the roof, though often out of sight, likely took the hardest hit.

Reports show that over 19,000 roofs may be totaled from this storm. If you were in the path of the 1.5”+ hail (and chances are, you were), your roof may have damage that isn't visible from the ground but could lead to leaks and bigger problems this winter.

Pressuring folks into a project just isn’t our style. But we do want homeowners to have the information they need to make smart decisions, especially when timing matters.

What to Know About Hail Damage to Your Roof:

• It’s not always visible. Even if your shingles look “fine,” the granules may have been knocked off, compromising their ability to protect your home.

• It doesn’t take much to cause long-term issues. Just a few weakened spots can lead to leaks once the snow and ice arrive.

• Insurance may cover it. If you act quickly, you may be able to file a claim. Many policies have strict timelines after a storm event.

• You don’t have to climb on your roof. We offer free inspections and can document any damage for your insurance company.
