Roof Hail Damage Repair
We understand how damaging hail can be to your roof's integrity and your property's safety. Based in Madison, WI, we specialize in roof hail damage repair, providing reliable and professional service tailored to commercial flat roofs. When severe Wisconsin storms strike, the resulting damage demands immediate, expert attention to prevent costly structural issues and interior water damage.
Our certified technicians perform comprehensive assessments of hail-impacted roofing systems, identifying both obvious punctures and subtle damage that untrained eyes might miss. We document everything thoroughly to streamline your insurance claims process while developing a targeted repair strategy specific to your roof type—whether EPDM, TPO, modified bitumen, or built-up systems.
Unlike residential roofers attempting commercial work, we bring specialized equipment and deep knowledge of commercial flat roofing materials and techniques. This expertise allows us to restore your roof's protective capabilities without unnecessary full replacements when strategic repairs will suffice.
We offer emergency tarping services to mitigate damage immediately after storms, followed by permanent repairs that meet or exceed original specifications. Our work comes with industry-leading warranties and uses impact-resistant materials specifically selected for Wisconsin's challenging climate conditions.
Trust Madison's commercial roofing experts to deliver prompt, lasting hail damage repairs that protect your building investment and provide peace of mind through even the harshest weather seasons.

FAQs on Roof Hail Damage Repair
We focus on identifying clear signs of hail damage and understanding when repairs are necessary. Recognizing these indicators helps ensure timely intervention to protect your flat roof’s integrity.
Does Madison Elite offer emergency roof tarping after hail storms?
Yes, Madison Elite offers 24/7 emergency roof tarping services after hail storms to prevent water infiltration and additional damage to your commercial property. Our rapid response team typically arrives within 2-4 hours of your call to secure your building and protect valuable assets inside.
What signs indicate my commercial flat roof has hail damage?
Punctures or tears in membrane roofing systems like EPDM, TPO, or PVC are common indicators of hail damage. You may notice dented or displaced metal flashings and edge details around the perimeter. The underlying insulation might be crushed or fractured beneath the membrane, creating soft spots. Circular impact marks or bruising on the roof surface often appear in patterns consistent with hailstone strikes. On modified bitumen roofing, granule loss creates exposed areas vulnerable to UV degradation. Clogged drains from dislodged roofing materials can also signal hail damage has occurred.
How do I know if my flat roof hail damage warrants a full replacement?
A full replacement is typically necessary when hail damage affects more than 25-30% of your flat roof surface area. Multiple compromised layers within your roofing system indicate severe damage that may not be adequately addressable through spot repairs. When structural decking has been damaged by moisture infiltration following hail impact, replacement becomes crucial. Consider replacement if your roof was already near the end of its service life, as repairs may only provide short-term solutions. From a financial perspective, replacement is often more cost-effective when repair costs would exceed 50% of replacement value.
Does your company provide free hail damage inspections for commercial roofs?
Yes, Madison Elite provides comprehensive free hail damage inspections for commercial roofs throughout the Madison area. Our certified inspectors conduct thorough assessments including detailed documentation with high-resolution photos, precise measurements of damaged areas, and a written assessment suitable for insurance claims. We identify both obvious and hidden damage that might be overlooked by untrained eyes. Our inspection reports are designed to maximize your insurance claim potential while providing you with clear options for restoration.
What roofing materials do you recommend for hail-prone areas in Wisconsin?
For Madison's hail-prone climate, we recommend EPDM rubber membranes at thicker 80-90 mil specifications paired with impact-resistant cover boards that absorb hail impact energy. TPO systems with reinforced scrim and thicker profiles of 60+ mil provide excellent puncture resistance. Multi-ply modified bitumen systems with protective surfacing offer redundant layers that withstand repeated impacts. PVC membranes with added impact resistance perform well in our Wisconsin climate while maintaining excellent energy efficiency. For existing roofs, protective roof coatings with embedded reinforcement can provide additional protection against future hail events while extending your roof's service life.
