Hail Causes Serious Damage to Your Roof and Siding

Severe weather conditions in Minneapolis even in summer can inflict a lot of damage to your home, particularly if the exterior is exposed to these conditions repeatedly. One of the most damaging is a hailstorm. Sizes of hail can be as big as a golf ball, causing dents, cracks, and detachment of shingles or siding. These can lead to more complicated damage like water and air leaks, loss of energy efficiency, etc.

In fact, this has already occurred last year. According to an article by twincities.com:

Severe thunderstorms dropped large hail that left cars with dents and broken windows as they rumbled across Minnesota’s midsection Tuesday evening.

Reports of 1-inch and 2-inch hail were common as the storms passed over the Twin Cities metro area. The National Weather Service said trained spotters also reported 3-inch hail near New London and 2.5-inch hail near Morris in western Minnesota.

WCCO Radio carried numerous reports from listeners reporting hail damage to vehicles and other property, as well as trees and branches downed by the storms.

This can also happen even in the summer season. Imagine what worse could happen if the colder season finally arrives. Thus, it is better to know which roofing contractors in Minneapolis you can count on when that time comes. Trust someone local like Krech Exteriors.
