Commercial Roofing and Hail Damage in Port St. Joe, FL
It’s not unusual to see hail accompany severe storms. Some hail can be as large as a baseball or softball and weigh several pounds. Can you imagine a chunk of ice that large hitting the roof of your commercial property in Port St. Joe, FL at a high rate of speed?
Hail can cause severe damage to a roof. How much damage is largely dependent on the severity of the storm, the speed of the winds, and the size of the hailstones as well as the material used on the roof. When hail strikes your roof, it can cause dents and cracks in the material. Even metal roofs designed to endure damage can still be dented from hail. Those dents may retain water and eventually rust. If your roof is made of a less durable material, it can form cracks from hail and water will seep through, eventually damaging the material beneath your outer layers of roofing. Our team at the Weather Restoration Group will send someone out to your place of business to assess the damage caused by hail and provide an estimate of the cost for repairs.
Hail is Destructive
Depending on the roofing material that was used on your commercial property, it can offer some protection, but do not underestimate the damage that a powerful storm can cause to your building. Single-ply roofing materials such as PVC, TPO, and EDPM can be punctured and cracked from hail striking it. The earlier that you address potential damage, the better off you will be. Over time, hail damage can result in a greater repair cost. Eventually if hail damage is not fully addressed, it can lead to needing your entire roof replaced.

In the wake of a hailstorm, your first step is to have a thorough inspection performed on your commercial property to assess damage.
