If you live in Berthoud, Colorado, this is the time to take a closer look at your roof.
Multiple severe hailstorms moved through Northern Colorado, Northeast Colorado on June 23–24, bringing damaging hail to several communities. The NOAA Storm Prediction Center’s preliminary storm reports documented hail near Berthoud between 1.5 and 1.75 inches, along with larger hail farther east, including reports up to 3 inches in Wiggins and 2.75 inches in Fort Morgan.
American Roofing and Restorations is currently prioritizing Berthoud hail damage inspections while also serving homeowners in other impacted areas, including Wiggins, Fort Morgan, Brush, Sterling, Morgan County, Logan County.
This was not a minor hail event. Denver7 reported smashed windshields and property damage in Wiggins and Fort Morgan after back-to-back hailstorms, including baseball-sized hail in Wiggins and damaged vehicles in Fort Morgan. Colorado Public Radio also reported damaging hail across the Front Range and Eastern Plains, with some hailstones reaching up to four inches in diameter and extensive damage around Morgan County.
Your Roof Can Look Fine From the Street and Still Be Damaged
After a hailstorm, many homeowners look up from the driveway and assume everything is fine because there are no missing shingles or obvious leaks.
Unfortunately, hail damage is not always that easy to see.
When hail hits asphalt shingles, it can knock away protective granules. Those granules help shield the shingle from sun exposure, weathering, and premature aging. Once enough granules are gone, the shingle becomes more vulnerable.
Larger hail can cause deeper damage. Instead of only scuffing the surface, the impact can bruise, crack, or fracture the shingle mat underneath. That damage may not be visible from the ground, but it can reduce the roof’s ability to shed water properly during the next rainstorm.
That is why a roof can look “okay” from the street and still need professional documentation.
Why Hail Damage Should Be Documented Early
After storms like this, timing matters.
First, hail damage can worsen with time. A bruised shingle, cracked mat, damaged vent, or weakened flashing detail may not leak immediately. But the next heavy rain, wind event, or freeze-thaw cycle can expose the damage.
Second, insurance policies usually have specific time limits for reporting storm-related damage. Every policy is different, so homeowners should review their own coverage carefully. The safest first step is to document the roof condition while the storm date is still recent and clear.
A professional inspection does not mean you are filing a claim. It simply gives you the facts.
Common Signs of Hail Damage Around Your Home
You should not climb on your roof after a storm. Instead, start with what you can safely see from the ground.
Look for signs such as:
- Dented gutters or downspouts
- Granules collecting near downspouts or along the edges of the roof
- Dents on metal roof vents, flashing, or soft metals
- Cracked siding or chipped paint
- Torn window screens or damaged window trim
- Dents on garage doors, fences, or outdoor equipment
- Cracked or shattered vehicle glass
- New water spots inside the home after rain
These signs do not automatically mean your roof needs to be replaced. But they do mean your roof should be inspected.
If hail hit your gutters, siding, windows, or vehicles hard enough to leave visible damage, your roof likely took impact too.
A Roof Inspection Does Not Mean You Need a New Roof
American Roofing and Restorations does not believe in pressure-based roofing sales.
A professional inspection is about understanding what happened, documenting the condition of your property, and helping you make an informed decision.
Sometimes a roof needs replacement. Sometimes a repair is enough. Sometimes the damage is minor and the homeowner simply needs documentation and peace of mind.
American Roofing and Restorations will not tell you that you need a new roof if you do not. The goal is simple: provide an honest inspection, explain the findings clearly, and help you understand your options.
