Hail Protection: Richmond Shingle Damage Insights

At Bustamante Roofing and Construction, we’re dedicated to helping Richmond, Texas stay safe and sound under our watchful eye. 🌤️ Let’s talk about something that might surprise you! Those so-called “tiny hailstones” can pack a pretty big punch. 🌧️ Did you know hail as small as ¾ inch can start chipping away at the protective granules on your asphalt shingles? This can gradually expose the underlying mat, weakening its defense.

When those larger 1-inch hailstones hit, they might even fracture the shingle mat itself, potentially leading to leaks that don’t show up until months later. 😲 That’s why it’s crucial to keep an eye on what might be happening overhead—damage like this is typically invisible from ground level.

As storms roll through Richmond, it’s important to be proactive. If you suspect hail has impacted your roof or just want peace of mind, don’t hesitate to reach out to the locally trusted team at Bustamante Roofing and Construction for a careful assessment.
