Severe weather hits Northeast Ohio – literally! Recent thunderstorms rocked Kent, Ohio and Canton, Ohio just as hail storms attacked Lakemore, Ohio and Brimfield, Ohio. Straight line winds ripped and removed shingles while hail left dents and holes here and there. As undesirable as wind and hail damage may be, undoing storm damages is easy with Miller Contracting in Akron, Ohio. Skilled in repairing and replacing any type of damaged roof, the local company’s qualified crew can replace shingles on asphalt roofs, remedy dents in metals roofs, correct tiles on clay roofs, and more!

Among the most common types of storm damages are tattered or absent asphalt shingles. Lightweight and laid in an overlay pattern that gives winds access to edges, asphalt shingles take a beating in thunderstorms. That is, unless they get taken off instead. And these, the most popular types of shingles in the US, are not spared from hail damage either. In fact, some people say that if you want to know the size of hail stones, grab a ladder and go look on your roof.

Please don’t consider that tip reserved for owners of asphalt roofs because any type of damaged roof can provide good measure. Hail damage appears as obvious indentations on metal roofs, fractures on clay roofs, and sharply edged holes on slate roofs.

Less alarming yet equally problematic is hail damage to rubber roofs. It appears as seemingly harmless sunken spots either shaped liked stars or surrounded by emanating circles. And while the rubber exterior often remains intact, the Styrofoam insulation beneath it does not. Herein lies the harm as damaged insulation can harm utility bills as well as allow leaks that harm ceilings, walls, electrical wiring, floors, and contents.

Of the many types of roofs that the roofing team at Miller Contracting can repair and replace, many consider metal to be the most resistant to hail. But as residents of Lakemore and Brimfield can likely confirm, dents and dings happen. When they do, the experts in Akron can remove minor blemishes and cap or replace panels that bear extreme storm damages. For a damaged roof with asphalt, clay, or slate coverings, the best option for property owners in Kent, Canton, and beyond is to replace shingles and thereby fully restore roof integrity.
