Hail Damage Roof Repair in Altamonte Springs

A thunderstorm rolled through and, for a few loud minutes, ice bounced off the driveway and rattled the windows. Now it’s quiet, the roof looks the same as it did yesterday, and you’re not sure whether to worry. Hail damage roof repair in Altamonte Springs often starts exactly like this, with damage you can’t see from the ground.

That uncertainty is the hard part. You don’t want to ignore real damage, and you don’t want to file a claim or sign with someone over nothing. What you need is a careful look from a roofer who’ll tell you honestly what the hail did, or didn’t do.

APC Roofing is GAF Certified, licensed in Florida (CCC1337030) and insured, and has worked on Central Florida roofs since 2017. Your hail damage inspection is free.

Hail in Central Florida

Hail isn’t as common here as in the Midwest, but it does happen. Strong spring and summer thunderstorms around the Orlando area can drop hail, usually small, sometimes larger. Because it’s less expected, homeowners often don’t think to check the roof afterward.

Hail damage also tends to come with company. The same storm usually brings strong gusts and heavy rain, so a roof can take wind and hail damage at the same time. Our storm damage roof repair in Altamonte Springs page covers the wind side.

What hail damage looks like on your roof

Hail damage depends on the size of the stones, the wind behind them and what your roof is made of.

Asphalt shingles

When hail strikes a shingle, it can knock granules loose and bruise the mat underneath. A bruise feels soft, a bit like the soft spot on an apple, and it may not look like much. Over time, that spot loses more granules, the asphalt dries out in the sun and the shingle can crack. That’s why hail damage on shingles may not leak right away but can shorten the roof’s life.

Signs include dark spots where granules are missing, exposed mat, cracked shingles and lots of granules washing out of the downspouts.

Tile roofs

Clay and concrete tiles can crack, chip or break from hail and from debris the storm throws around. A cracked tile may stay in place and look fine from the ground while it lets water reach the underlayment below. If you have a tile roof, see clay tile roofing in Altamonte Springs for how repairs work.

Metal roofs

Hail can dent metal panels. Many dents are cosmetic and don’t affect how the roof sheds water. Hail can also chip the paint finish or bend seams and trim, and those spots matter more because they can rust or let water in.

The clues around your house

Soft metals often show hail damage first. Look for dents in gutters, downspouts, roof vents, window screens and the fins of your AC unit. Damage to cars, patio furniture or fences after the same storm is another hint that the roof took hits too.

Hail damage roof repair in Altamonte Springs starts with an inspection

Most hail damage can’t be judged from the yard, and walking a roof to look for it takes care. A proper inspection checks every slope, because the side facing the storm usually takes the most damage. Hits are photographed and marked, and soft metals on the roof are checked as well.

You’ll get photos and a written estimate. The answer might be a repair to one area, or a replacement if the damage is spread across the roof. If the hail did little real damage, you’ll hear that too.

Hail damage and insurance

Hail damage is usually handled through homeowners insurance. You file the claim with your insurance company and pay your own deductible. We document the damage with photos, provide a written estimate and work with your adjuster. Florida policies set deadlines for reporting damage, so don’t sit on it, even if the roof isn’t leaking yet. Our insurance roof claims page walks through the process.

Be careful with anyone who offers to cover or waive your deductible. An honest roofer won’t offer that, so it’s a sign to look elsewhere.

Hail damage questions from Altamonte Springs homeowners

My roof isn’t leaking. Can it still have hail damage?

Yes. Bruised shingles often don’t leak right away. They lose granules and age faster, and leaks can show up months later.

How soon after a hailstorm should I get an inspection?

Sooner is better. Fresh damage is easier to document, and your policy has a deadline for reporting it.

Will a few dents in my metal roof need replacing?

Not always. Cosmetic dents don’t affect how metal sheds water. Damaged seams, trim or finish are a different story and may need repair.

Do hail-damaged tiles always need replacing?

Cracked or broken tiles do. Tiles that are only scuffed may be fine. The inspection sorts out which is which.

Peace of mind after the storm

Hail damage that goes unchecked rarely gets better. Bruised shingles keep losing granules and cracked tiles let water reach the underlayment, a little more with every rain.

Isa Romero

Jose was referred to me by my mother to assist with my roofing needs. He was able to explain the process throughly and go to my home timely to inspect it. He made the initial process easy and was able to make me feel comfortable in submitting the claim.

Joe Montes

Great people and very professional. Michael Pagano was honest and upfront with me every step of the way, and I believe gave me a fair price. And he wasn’t pushy! Some of the other companies I got estimates from were either way overpriced with pushy salesmen, and another company I suppose hates money because they never showed up to even give me an estimate! I upgraded my 20 year old shingle roof to metal. I am pleased with the results. Would recommend!

Jeff Clark

Great experience. Charlie came out, found our leak and did a roof inspection. Pointed out some issues, but nothing to be worried about right now. Honest company. Will definitely call for any roof issues in the future.

Eli Bonilla

Thank you, Jose Irizarry! We are so glad to have had you inspect our roof for damages. Thank you for your honesty and for giving us peace of mind knowing that our roof is structurally sound. While we could not file a claim at this time, we will absolutely recommend you to our family and friends. Jose came to us highly recommended by a family member whom he assisted during their roof replacement.

I had a great experience working with APC Roofing, especially Jose Irizarry, who was my main point of contact throughout the process. Jose was professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and kept me informed every step of the way. I really appreciated how easy he made the process and how willing he was to answer my questions. Having Jose as my point person gave me confidence that everything was being handled properly. I’m very happy with the service I received and would highly recommend Jose Irizarry and APC Roofing to anyone looking for a professional and dependable roofing company.

Darren Poythress

Our great friends referred us to APC and gave us Jose Irizarry’s number. Jose responded quickly with his inspector Ian to our storm damage concerns. Upon arrival they jumped right into documenting damages and getting through the claims process with our insurance.

Vincent Hasenstaub has helped us every step of the way in the process of getting our new roof. He is very professional knowledgeable and cares about his customers. I would recommend using Vincent as a sales person because he has the best interest for his customers and he is an asset to his company.

Vincent was very professional and knowledgeable.

Jordan Hanson

Vincent answered every question I had about the roofing process and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He was knowledgeable, patient, and professional from start to finish. What I appreciated most was that he took the time to make sure I understood what to expect throughout the entire process. From the initial inspection, working with the insurance company, all the way to the roof replacement itself. He was there every step of the way, kept me informed, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel simple and straightforward. That level of communication and customer service goes a long way with me. I highly recommend Vincent if you’re looking for someone you can trust.

Nancy heyboer

José Irizarry came one day to my door. He and Jesús inspected our roof and I told them my insurance denied a claim already. They helped me see that I couldn’t give up. I’m glad I didn’t give up and listened to him. Jose explained every process that was needed before and after approval. If in doubt give APC roofing a call and if you get Jose, he will help you out. They are for the homeowner. The process of putting on a roof is next. I’ll write a review on how that went after the job is done.
