Chalco, Minnesota Hail Damage

1″quarter size hail

If your home is in or near Chalco, Minnesota, your roof, siding, gutters, windows, and vehicles may have sustained damage. Hail damage is often invisible from the ground but dramatically shortens the life of your roof.

What 1″ quarter size hail does to a roof

  • Bruises asphalt shingles, causing loss of protective granules
  • Cracks or punctures shingles entirely (hail ≥ 1.5″)
  • Dents metal flashing, vents, gutters, and A/C fins
  • Damages siding, screens, and window wraps
  • Shortens roof lifespan by 5 to 15 years, even when undetected

Common questions after hail

Is my roof actually damaged if I can't see anything?

Often yes. 1″ quarter size hail causes granular loss and bruising invisible from the ground but clearly visible on a roof inspection. That's why we offer free inspections.

Will my insurance cover it?

If you have a standard Minnesota homeowners policy, hail damage is almost always covered (minus your deductible). The storm on April 23, 2026 is documented by NOAA, which strengthens your claim.

How long does an inspection take?

About 30 to 45 minutes. We'll walk the roof, take photos, and show you the damage on your phone or tablet. Zero pressure.

Why not use the contractor that knocked on my door?

Many door-knockers are out-of-state storm chasers. We're based in Bloomington, Minnesota, and will still be here for your warranty in five years.
