5 signs of hail damage most homeowners miss

Insurance adjusters look for specific markers. Here's what we document on every inspection β€” at no cost to you.

Bruising on shingles

Soft, dark spots where hail crushed the granules. You usually can't see them from the driveway β€” but they fail in the next storm.

Granules in the gutters

Black sandy debris in your downspouts? That's your roof's UV protection β€” washing away.

Dented metal flashing

If your gutters, vents, or AC fins are dimpled, hail was big enough to compromise shingles too.

Cracked or split shingles

Hail + wind opens cracks that let water in. Often invisible until ceilings start staining.

Damaged ridge caps

The ridge is the most exposed part of your roof β€” the first place to fail.

Stains on ceilings or attic

If you can already see water inside, the damage is days old, not minutes. Call us today.

β€œBig Bear roofing is the best! Our whole neighborhood had hail damage and MANY roofing companies were trying to get our business. After checking reviews and Better Business Bureau and speaking with Gregg, decided on Big Bear. They are professional, answered all our questions, worked with our adjustor from the insurance company. We were the FIRST in the neighborhood to get our roof! No hassles. Just service. One 13 hour day and roof was on. If you aren't sure who to use, choose Big Bear.”

β€œDwight and Greg were extremely easy to work with, responsive and prompt from start to finish. On the day of the install project manager Tim and his team were on time and very efficient. I really appreciated the attention to detail once completed and a thorough clean up of the job site before leaving. All in all a top notch local company that I highly recommend!”

Common questions

Hail-damage claims, answered

How long do I have to file a hail-damage claim?
In Missouri, most insurance policies give you 12 months from the date of the storm β€” but this varies. The longer you wait, the harder it is to prove the damage came from a specific storm. Get inspected sooner rather than later.
Will filing a claim raise my premium?
Hail and wind claims are β€œact of God” claims and generally don't raise individual premiums in Missouri. (Carrier-wide rate increases after a major storm season are a separate issue.) We're happy to walk through your specific policy with you.
What does the free inspection include?
A licensed inspector climbs your roof, documents every impact mark with photos and chalk, checks your gutters, vents, flashing, and ridges, and gives you a written report. If we find claim-worthy damage we'll explain next steps. If not, you owe us nothing.
Do you handle the insurance paperwork?
Yes. We meet your adjuster on the roof, supplement the estimate if items get missed, and handle the back-and-forth with the carrier. You sign two documents β€” the rest is on us.
How fast can you start?
Inspections are usually within 2–4 days. Once a claim is approved and materials arrive, most asphalt roofs are installed in a single day. From first call to new roof typically runs 3–6 weeks depending on your carrier's timing.
Are you insured and bonded?
Fully. We carry general liability and workers' comp, and we're a GAF Master Elite contractor β€” top 2% of roofers nationally. We'll send proof of insurance before we step on your property.

Don't wait for the leak to find you.
