When hail hits Tulsa, your roof might take a beating – and you may not even notice the damage right away. On March 6, 2026, a storm with 80–90 mph winds and 2.5-inch hailstones caused widespread destruction. If your roof was exposed, acting fast is critical.
Here’s why:
- Water damage can escalate in 48 hours. Mold, ruined drywall, and insulation issues can follow.
- Roof insurance claims often require professional documentation. Without it, you risk claim denial.
- Hidden damage is common. Bruised shingles, granule loss, and lifted seals aren’t visible from the ground.
Arrowhead Roofing offers free same-day inspections to catch problems early. Their team provides detailed reports for insurance claims, helping you secure coverage and avoid costly repairs later. Call (918) 743-9257 or visit their website to schedule your inspection today.
How to Spot Hail Damage on Your Roof
What You Can See from the Ground
Start by checking your downspouts and gutters for black grit or a sand-like substance. This debris comes from the granules on asphalt shingles, which can be knocked off during a hailstorm. Without these granules, shingles are exposed to harmful UV rays, speeding up wear and tear.
"If there are dents on your vents, there is almost certainly damage to your shingles." – Arrowhead Roofing
Metal parts of your roof, like vents, gutters, and flashing, often show damage before shingles do. A quick look through binoculars can help you spot dents on these components. If you notice dents, there’s a good chance your shingles have hidden damage too.
Also, look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles. Storms with high winds – such as the one on March 6, 2026, with gusts of 80–90 mph – can loosen shingle seals. This can compromise waterproofing, even if the shingles seem flat from afar. Inside your home, water stains on ceilings, damp walls, or bubbling paint may indicate that hail damage has started to affect your roof’s ability to keep water out.
But remember, not all damage is visible from the ground.
Damage That’s Hard to Detect
Some damage isn’t immediately obvious and requires a closer, professional inspection. For instance, shingles that appear fine may have bruising, which weakens their structure over time.
High winds can also break the seals on shingles, leaving them vulnerable to water even if they look intact. Hailstones measuring 1 inch or more in diameter can cause significant hidden problems, often leading to the need for an insurance claim.
Other subtle issues include cracks in vent pipes, damaged skylight seals, and tears in the underlayment beneath your shingles. Since many insurance policies require storm damage to be documented within a year, scheduling a professional inspection as soon as possible is critical to protect your home and ensure your coverage remains intact.
These less visible problems highlight why a same-day professional inspection is so important – it ensures nothing gets overlooked.

Why You Need a Roof Inspection Right Away
Stop Small Problems from Getting Worse
Hailstones can do more than just dent your car – they crack shingles and strip away granules, leaving your roof vulnerable to water leaks. Once moisture seeps in, it can quickly lead to mold growth, which not only poses health risks but can also require costly remediation.
Even what seems like minor damage can escalate fast. For instance, dents from hail as small as 1 inch can eventually lead to sheathing damage. Left unchecked, this might mean replacing the entire roof deck, which could set you back as much as $20,000. Granule loss is another hidden danger – it exposes the asphalt layer beneath to UV rays, causing cracks that let water seep into rafters and trusses.
"Water entering through a compromised roof can lead to mold and drywall failure in just 48 hours." – Arrowhead Roofing
That’s why same-day inspections are so important. A detailed 30- to 60-minute examination can uncover hidden issues like moisture blistering or soft decking – problems you won’t notice from the ground but could lead to far more expensive repairs later. Addressing these issues early not only prevents structural damage but also makes the claims process smoother.
Make Your Insurance Claim Easier
Getting a roof inspection isn’t just about safety – it’s also key to navigating the insurance process. Many Tulsa homeowners’ policies require a certified roof inspection for claim approval. Relying on your own photos or descriptions might not cut it, and could result in delays or even claim denials, leaving you to foot the bill.
Arrowhead Roofing provides inspection reports tailored to what insurers need. These reports include detailed photos of hail damage, measurements of granule loss, and structural assessments to confirm the extent of the damage. With professional documentation, your chances of claim approval can jump by 70% to 90%. Armed with this evidence, you can file your claim quickly, meet deadlines, and secure the coverage you need. Plus, Arrowhead Roofing’s same-day inspections ensure you’re ready to act without delay, giving you peace of mind during a stressful time.
Roof Inspections After A Massive Hail Storm For Insurance Claims
What Happens During an Arrowhead Roofing Inspection
Discussing Your Concerns and First Look
When an Arrowhead Roofing technician arrives – typically within 15 minutes – they start by discussing your specific concerns. They’ll ask if you’ve noticed issues like water stains on your ceiling, missing shingles, or odd noises during recent storms. While doing this, they’ll also check for visible problems from the ground, such as dented gutters or displaced shingles. This initial conversation sets the stage for a more thorough roof inspection.
Full Roof Examination
The detailed inspection, which usually takes 30–60 minutes, involves the technician climbing onto the roof to closely examine vulnerable areas. They look for issues like hail damage that might not be obvious at first glance and wind-lifted tabs that could allow water to seep through. The inspection also includes checking soft metal components, such as flashing around chimneys and vents, as well as metal panels and other roof accessories for signs of dents or corrosion. Every critical element of your roof is assessed to ensure the entire system is in good condition.
Your Inspection Report and Next Steps
Once the inspection is finished, you’ll receive a comprehensive, insurance-ready report that includes photo documentation of any damage. As R Allen shared:
"We were amazed at how well this was done and documented by Jose and his crew. We will be able to present the repair documentation/photos to our insurance company as part of our overall claim processing."
The technician will go over the findings with you on-site, pointing out urgent repairs versus issues that can wait. The report outlines whether your roof needs repairs, maintenance, or a full replacement. This detailed documentation not only helps you make informed decisions but also strengthens your case when filing an insurance claim.

FAQs
Will my insurance cover hail damage?
Yes, your insurance might cover hail damage if your policy includes wind and hail coverage. Make sure to document the damage as soon as possible and collaborate with certified roofing contractors to support your claim. Acting quickly can streamline the claims process and help avoid additional problems.
Should I file a claim before the inspection?
It’s a good idea to start with an inspection to get a clear picture of the damage. Once that’s done, you’ll have the details needed to file your insurance claim quickly. This way, your claim will be backed by a detailed assessment of the damage.
Repair or replace my roof after hail?
After a hailstorm, deciding whether to repair or replace your roof depends on the extent of the damage and how old your roof is. Small issues like minor dents or some granule loss can often be fixed with simple repairs. But if the damage is widespread, the structure is compromised, or the roof is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacement might be the better option.
Getting a professional inspection is key. Experts can spot hidden damage that could lead to bigger problems, like leaks or mold, down the line. Acting quickly helps protect your home and ensures it stays safe for the long haul.
