When Hail Leaves Its Mark
NWS Pueblo's look back at July 28, 2016 describes "widespread baseball sized hail in Colorado Springs," and damage claims topped $350 million. On the night of June 13, 2018, a rare after-dark storm dropped 3.0-inch hail over the southern metro and Fountain, CO, causing about $169 million in damage. On August 6, 2018, 4-inch hail was reported about 2 miles east-southeast of Security, CO, in a storm that also reached the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Fort Carson and Manitou Springs, CO.
Wind counts too. The city's weather station logged 69 mph gusts on August 2, 2023 and September 17, 2024, and hail on 4 days in 2024 and 5 days in 2025. A 2023 federal disaster declaration for the June 8–23 storms covered El Paso County, Colorado, but that aid paid for public repairs, not home roofs.
None of this means your roof is damaged. It means a careful look after a storm is worth the time.
Typical Reasons to Request Storm Damage Roof Replacement
- Bruised or cracked shingles. Hail can leave soft spots or splits you can't see from the ground.
- Dented gutters and vents. Dings on soft metal hint that the shingles above took hits too.
- Grit at the downspouts. A heavy wash of granules after a storm can mean the surface was knocked loose.
- Lifted or missing shingles. Strong gusts can crease tabs, break seal strips or carry shingles away.
- A new ceiling stain. A fresh spot after a storm points to an opening that needs attention soon.
What Storm Damage Roof Replacement Typically Costs
Insurance may change who pays, but the price still depends on size, pitch, material and decking.

You pay your own deductible, and many Colorado policies set a separate one for wind and hail. The roof replacement cost guide explains each row.
From Inspection to Cleanup
- Stay off the roof. Take dated photos from the ground of dents, fallen shingles and any leaks.
- Request an inspection. One independent local roofer contacts you to set a time.
- Damage is documented. The roofer checks each slope, takes photos and writes up a price.
- You file the claim. You deal with your insurer and its adjuster, and can share the roofer's photos and price.
- Written contract. Colorado gives you two 72-hour windows to cancel: right after signing, and after a written claim denial.
- Permit and final inspection. PPRBD says a roof replaced for hail damage needs a reroof permit. The roofer pulls it and books the inspection.
What You Can Expect
PPRBD's storm advice is simple: make sure your contractor is licensed with PPRBD and a permit is pulled. You hear from one independent local roofer and can look them up on pprbd.org first. We don't knock on doors or follow storms.
Insurance, Adjusters and Paperwork
In Colorado, the roofer's part is to inspect the roof, record the damage and price the work. Settling the claim is up to you and your insurer. A roofer may not act as your public adjuster or negotiate for you; only a public adjuster licensed by the Colorado Division of Insurance can.
State law also forbids a roofer from offering to cover, waive or refund your deductible, so that cost stays with you. This site doesn't handle claims and has no tie to any insurer or adjuster. Colorado created a roof-strengthening grant program in 2026, but grants are not open yet. Read more on the Colorado roofing rules page.
What People Want to Know
Does hail always mean I need a new roof?
No. Small hail may do no real harm, and some damage can be repaired. A roofer looks at how many shingles were hit, how deep the bruises go and how many slopes are affected. Your insurer makes its own decision on what the policy covers, which may differ from the roofer's view.
Will the roofer deal with my insurance company for me?
No. Colorado law bars a roofer from acting as your public adjuster or negotiating your claim. The roofer documents the damage and gives you a written price. You file the claim, talk with your insurer and decide what to accept. Someone who argues a claim for you must be a licensed public adjuster.
Can a roofer cover my deductible?
No. C.R.S. 6-22-105 bars Colorado roofers from offering to pay, waive or rebate all or part of your deductible, whether it's dressed up as a rebate, a credit or a promise to absorb it. An offer like that says something about how the roofer does business. Plan to pay the deductible yourself.
What if my claim is denied after I sign?
If your insurer denies the claim in whole or in part, Colorado lets you cancel the roofing contract within 72 hours of getting that written denial. It's separate from the 72 hours you get right after signing. Send your notice in writing so there's a clear record of the date.
