Hail!

[DenverGP]

Well, crap. The new roof didn't hold up as well as I thought - I just didn't know what to look for. It's trashed. I get to pay my deductible twice within 6 months.

What kind of roof was it? Just got mine down last year, with impact resistant shingles, hoping it'll survive our hail a little better.

I drove through some pea sized hail up here today and though about you flatlanders getting pounded again. Looks like it a bad one again. It's been nasty this spring.

Checked my roofs, need new. Found one hole completely through, it hit just right and punched through, ping pong ball size.

The size hail that Fentonite and USMC88-93 got it probably won't matter, but smaller stuff it will hold up better.

It was not an impact-resistant shingle, but like Irving said, probably wouldn't matter with the size of hail that attacked us.

My cousin lives just North of Colfax from you and sent me some pictures today asking if he'd get a new roof (YES!). One of the photos has a hole right through the shingle. I told him that concerned me as that means there was probably a hole in the decking in order for that to happen. It's not uncommon for contractors to shingle right over old vent holes, or if there is spaced decking, for a hail chunk to slip right through.

Walmart at Colfax/Wadsworth was closed yesterday too - skylight problems I believe.

I went in there yesterday and yes all their skylights are trashed.

I'd just pulled up onto a jobsite at I-70 and Colfax when the rain turned to sleet. Or so I thought. Five minutes later it looked like this.



I actually had to dig out some earplugs while waiting in the truck because it was so friggin' loud.

Correct, this old house doesn't have skip gap (?) decking, but many of the boards have tree knots and they have fallen out over the last 80 years. The hail hit right on the edge of two boards and right where a knot appears to have been. I can't get in that area underneath easily to look, but I'll go with that since I know this house pretty well.

May other areas where it punched through to the tar paper. I have the heavy shingles too, the double layer architectural look.

Dang, you guys have me feeling lucky! What a pain in the arse
