Hail Damage Repair Cost Calculator

Estimate the cost to repair hail damage to a roof or vehicle based on damage severity, from light cosmetic dings to severe punctures and leaks.

What is a rough repair number after hail?

Insurance claims care about squares of roofing, siding faces, and whether you are repairing or replacing. This page turns area and damage level into a US-dollar planning range. It is not an adjuster’s worksheet and it is not legal advice.

Document before you repair

Photos, date, and a contractor who works with insurers matter more than this estimate. Deductibles and depreciation (ACV vs RCV) change what you actually receive.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does hail damage repair cost?
Cost depends heavily on severity and area. Light roof damage might run $300-$1,000, while severe roof damage with leaks can run $4,000-$12,000+. Vehicle hail damage ranges from about $150 for light dents to $2,500-$8,000+ for severe damage.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage to a roof?
Many homeowners insurance policies cover hail damage, but coverage varies by policy and location (some hail-prone areas have separate deductibles or exclusions). Contact your insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage.
Does car insurance cover hail damage?
Comprehensive auto insurance coverage (not liability-only) typically covers hail damage. If you only carry liability coverage, hail damage repair would likely be an out-of-pocket cost.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Signs include dented or dislodged shingle granules, dents in gutters and downspouts, damaged vents or flashing, and dents in soft metal (like AC units). A professional roof inspection is the most reliable way to assess hail damage.
What's the difference between light, moderate, and severe hail damage?
Light damage is typically cosmetic (minor dents or dings with no functional impact). Moderate damage affects multiple areas and may have some functional impact. Severe damage includes punctures, cracked materials, or active leaks that need immediate attention.
Should I get a professional inspection after a hailstorm?
Yes, especially for roofs — some hail damage isn't visible from the ground or may not cause an immediate leak but can shorten roof lifespan and cause problems later. A professional inspection helps document damage for insurance claims too.
Should I file an insurance claim for hail damage?
For anything beyond very light cosmetic damage, it's usually worth documenting the damage with photos and contacting your insurer, since hail damage claims are common and often covered — but check how a claim might affect your premium first.
