Does Hail Damage Roofs in Hudson?
Hail does damage roofs in Hudson: hail up to golf-ball size fell in eastern Hudson in July 2023, and quarter-size hail fell just north of the city in September 2025. Wisconsin sees 20 to 30 days a year with hail three-quarters of an inch or larger, and it falls most often from May to July.
Hail damage is easy to miss from the ground. A hailstone knocks the protective granules off a shingle and can crack the mat underneath, and that bruise may not leak for months, until sun and freezing weather finish what the hail started.
Hail usually arrives with high wind, so we look for both. Shingles lifted or torn off in the same storm fall under our storm damage roof repair work, and both are part of our wider roof repair service.

June
Hail falls most often in Wisconsin in June, so check your roof after early-summer storms.
Signs of Hail Damage on a Hudson Roof
Hail damage on a Hudson roof shows up as dark bruises where granules were knocked off, cracked or split shingles, dents in metal vents, flashing and gutters, and granules piled at the downspouts. You can spot some of it safely from the ground; the rest takes someone on the roof.
Dark Bruises on Shingles
Round dark spots where the granules are gone show where hailstones struck, often scattered across a whole slope.
Cracked or Split Shingles
Larger hail can crack a shingle through or split it along an edge, leaving a path for water.
Dented Vents and Flashing
Dents in roof vents, flashing and the caps on vent pipes are easy proof of hail and its size.
Dented Gutters and Downspouts
Dings in gutters and downspouts, visible from the ground, tell you the roof above was hit too.
Granules at the Downspouts
A pile of shingle granules where a downspout drains is a sign the shingles lost their coating.
Damaged Siding and Screens
Torn window screens or chipped siding on the side the storm came from point to hail on that slope.

Should You Repair or Replace a Hail-Damaged Hudson Roof?
A hail-damaged Hudson roof can be repaired when the hits are on one slope or a handful of shingles, and needs replacing when bruises and cracks run across the whole roof. We base the call on what we count on each slope, not on a guess from the driveway.
Repair the roof when
- The damage is on one slope or one side of the house
- Only vents, flashing or a few shingles were hit
- The rest of the shingles still hold their granules
- The roof is young enough to be worth keeping
Replace the roof when
- Bruises and cracks cover every slope
- Shingles are split or punctured across the roof
- Hail struck a roof that was already worn
- Leaks have started in more than one place
When hail damage goes to your insurer, the insurer must pay to repair or replace the part of the roof the covered storm damaged, minus your deductible, but it is not required to replace parts that were not damaged.
Not sure whether your hail damage means a repair or a new roof?
We'll go over every slope and show you the damage we find.
What Does Hail Damage Roof Repair Cost in Hudson?
Hail damage roof repair costs $700 to $4,000 on a national range, not a quote, since no cost guide publishes a Hudson figure. The spread is wide because hail can dent a few vents or bruise every slope.
Your own cost often depends more on your insurance than on the repair price. When hail is a covered loss, you pay the deductible and the insurer pays the rest of the covered repair.

Will Insurance Pay for Your Hudson Hail Damage?
Insurance pays for hail damage on your Hudson roof when your policy covers hail, and then the insurer must pay to repair or replace the part of the roof the hail damaged, minus your deductible. A roof that was simply worn out before the storm is the owner's cost to replace.
How much you get back also depends on your policy. Replacement cost coverage pays to repair the damage with materials of similar kind and quality without subtracting for age, while actual cash value subtracts depreciation, and full replacement cost requires the house to be insured at 80% to 90% of what it would cost to rebuild.
Start with photos of the damage before any cleanup, then call your insurer. With your consent, our roof insurance claim help means we discuss the damage with your adjuster and submit our estimate.
Hudson Roofing Pros or a Storm Chaser After a Hailstorm?
After a hailstorm, choose a contractor based in Hudson, like Hudson Roofing Pros, over a traveling crew that offers to cover your deductible, promises to negotiate your claim, or wants a signature on the spot.

If hail broke through and water is coming in, call us for emergency roof repair first; the rest can wait until the roof is covered.
- Offering to pay, rebate or discount your insurance deductible, which Wisconsin law forbids
- Saying they will negotiate your claim or represent you with the insurer
- Giving an estimate by phone without coming to look at the roof
- No written contract listing the work, materials, dates and warranty
- No statement asking whether the job is tied to an insurance claim
- Asking you to let them into your home or to throw out damaged property before the adjuster sees it
Hail Damage Roof Repair FAQs
How Do I Know If Hail Damaged My Roof?
You know hail damaged your roof when you see dents in gutters, downspouts or roof vents, or granules piled at the downspouts. Bruises and cracks on the shingles themselves take someone on the roof to find, and we photograph them for you.
Can You Pay My Insurance Deductible?
No, Wisconsin law forbids a contractor from paying or rebating any part of your deductible, including through discounts, gifts, credits or referral fees. A contractor who offers to is breaking the law.
Will My Insurer Replace the Whole Roof After Hail?
Your insurer must pay to repair or replace the part of the roof the hail damaged, but it is not required to replace parts that were not damaged. When hail has hit every slope, that damaged part can be the whole roof.
Is Hail Damage Covered If My Roof Is Old?
Whether hail damage on an older roof is covered, and for how much, depends on your policy. A policy that pays actual cash value subtracts depreciation for the roof's age, so check your policy and ask your insurer how it figures depreciation.
Does Hail Damage Always Mean a New Roof?
No, hail damage does not always mean a new roof. Hits on one slope or to a few vents and shingles can be repaired; damage across every slope usually means replacement.
