Atlas Roofing & Sheet Metal | Roofing Services in Saint Louis, MO 63128

Hail damage often appears as random, dark spots or bruises on asphalt shingles where the granules have been knocked off, unlike uniform weathering. After a storm, check for dents on metal fixtures like gutters or vents. Given the frequency of hail here, we recommend a professional, no-obligation inspection. We can identify subtle damage that might lead to leaks or reduced roof life, providing a clear assessment and repair options tailored to Saint Louis homes.

Nail pops are common here due to our significant temperature swings, which cause the roof decking to expand and contract, pushing nails up over time. While a few may not be an emergency, they compromise your roof's seal against wind and water. We recommend addressing them promptly to prevent moisture intrusion, which can lead to wood rot or mold. Our repair process involves securing the affected shingle and sealing it properly to withstand our local climate, preventing future pops in that spot.

The decision depends on the extent of damage, your roof's age, and your insurance coverage. We provide a thorough inspection to map all damage. If the damage is isolated and your roof is relatively new, a repair might be sufficient. However, widespread hail impact often weakens the entire roof system. In many Saint Louis cases, a replacement with impact-resistant shingles rated for hail can be a wise long-term investment, potentially lowering insurance premiums. We'll explain all factors clearly to help you make the best choice for your home.
