Two 2026 storms make this urgent. On June 26, a severe thunderstorm brought hail, winds over 50 mph and more than an inch of rain to the Boise area, the Idaho Statesman reported. On July 23, the National Weather Service in Boise warned of quarter-size hail in central Canyon County, near Homedale and Caldwell, and later issued a severe thunderstorm warning for northeastern Ada County. Hail damage often hides in plain sight, so if your home was under either storm, have our team check the roof before winter rain finds the weak spots.
Boise’s summer thunderstorms can drop hail with little warning, and the National Weather Service Boise office keeps the record of every warning and storm report, which is the record insurance companies check when you file. Hail about 1 inch across (quarter size) is generally where asphalt shingle damage starts, and wind-driven hail hits harder than hail falling straight down.
When hail hits a shingle, it bruises it like an apple: the impact cracks the fiberglass mat inside and knocks off the protective granules. With the granules gone, Boise’s strong summer sun bakes the exposed asphalt, and the shingle turns brittle and eventually leaks.
Detecting hail damage requires an expert eye. Our team looks for specific markers that indicate the integrity of your roofing system has been compromised.
You don’t always have to climb a ladder to see if you need hail damage roof repair. Check your window screens, siding, and even your mailbox. If these surfaces show dents or holes, your roof likely took a heavy beating.
At Kings Roofing & Contracting LLC, we follow a strict protocol to ensure no damage goes unnoticed. We treat every storm damage roofing project with the same level of detail, from the initial check to the final nail.
Our roof inspections are thorough. We mark out “test squares” on different slopes of your roof to count the number of hits. This data is vital for proving the extent of the damage to your insurance carrier.
We take high-resolution photos of all impact damage. This documentation is the foundation of your claim. We make sure to capture the “hidden” damage that adjusters sometimes miss, such as micro-cracks in the asphalt mat.
If the damage is localized, we can perform a roof repair. However, if the hits are widespread, a full roof replacement is often the only way to restore your home’s warranty and safety.
When repairing or replacing a hail-damaged roof, it is worth considering an upgrade to impact-resistant materials. The table below explains the industry standards for shingle durability.
Rating | Test Requirement | Protection Level |
Class 1 | 1.25″ Steel ball drop | Basic protection against small hail. |
Class 2 | 1.50″ Steel ball drop | Improved resistance for standard storms. |
Class 3 | 1.75″ Steel ball drop | High-performance for severe weather. |
Class 4 | 2.00″ Steel ball drop | Maximum protection; often qualifies for insurance discounts. |
If you are already going through the process of a roof installation, upgrading to Class 4 shingles is a smart investment for Boise homeowners. These shingles are made with a rubberized asphalt (SBS) that allows the shingle to “bounce back” from hail impacts rather than fracturing.
Some insurance companies offer a premium discount for a Class 4 roof, so ask your insurance agent before you choose shingles. We can help you compare asphalt shingle roofing options to find a style that fits your home and your budget.
Hail and wind are among the leading causes of homeowners insurance claims in the United States, according to the Insurance Information Institute. Our insurance claims assistance covers the roofing side of your claim: a photo-documented inspection, a line-item repair estimate and a meeting with your adjuster on the roof, so they see the same damage we found. Idaho law requires anyone who negotiates a claim for a homeowner to be a licensed public adjuster (Idaho Code 41-5802 and 41-5803), so we don’t negotiate your settlement; you stay in charge of your claim, and we supply the roofing evidence behind it.
Not all roofs react to hail the same way. This table shows what to look for based on the roofing materials currently on your home.
Roof Material | How Hail Affects It | Signs of Failure |
Asphalt Shingles | Knocks off granules and breaks the mat. | Dark spots, soft bruises, or “bald” patches. |
Metal Roofing | Causes cosmetic dents; rarely punctures. | Visible pockmarks on the panels. |
Concrete Tile | Can crack or shatter the tiles. | Broken corners or visible spider-web cracks. |
Slate Roofing | Causes sharp, clean breaks. | Missing pieces or slate shards on the ground. |
Before you file: see what your deductible and roof coverage would likely leave you with, using the method the Idaho Department of Insurance explains.
This is an estimate, not insurance advice or a coverage decision. Your insurer decides coverage and sets its own depreciation schedule; the actual-cash-value estimate here assumes straight-line depreciation over a 25-year roof life, the typical useful life the Idaho Department of Insurance uses in its example. Replacement cost policies often pay the depreciated amount first and the rest after the work is done and documented.

Have a local roofing contractor inspect it, ideally one registered with the state of Idaho who photographs every hail hit. Kings Roofing & Contracting LLC is a Boise-based, GAF-certified roofer (Idaho contractor registration RCE-66571) that inspects hail-damaged roofs across the Treasure Valley and documents the damage for your insurance claim. Call (208) 803-8341 or request a free hail damage inspection.
Start with the surfaces around your home. Torn window screens, dented gutters, or fresh clean spots on a stained fence mean your roof likely took a heavy hit too. On the shingles, look for dark, circular spots that look like bruises. A pile of sand-like granules at the end of your downspouts after a storm is another sign that your shingles have lost their protective layer.
Hail about 1 inch across (the size of a quarter) or larger is generally big enough to damage asphalt shingles. Boise storms often bring strong wind with the hail, and wind-driven hail hits harder, so even smaller hail can strip granules. If you saw hail during a storm, a professional roof inspection is worth it to be safe.
Often, yes. Hail rarely causes an immediate leak. The impact cracks the mat inside the shingle and leaves a bruise, and over the following months the sun bakes the exposed asphalt until the shingle cracks and starts leaking. Documenting the damage now, while it can still be tied to the storm, and working through our insurance claims assistance process is much easier than paying for a larger repair later.
There is no single number. Many insurance adjusters count hail hits inside a 10-by-10-foot test square on each roof slope, and a common rule of thumb is that 8 to 10 hits in a square supports replacing that slope rather than repairing it. Your policy and your adjuster decide the final scope; our job is to count and photograph every hit accurately.
It depends on your policy. Some insurance companies now give you six months after a storm to file, and others still allow a year, so check your policy's deadline now. The Idaho Department of Insurance is the state agency to contact with questions about your policy. Reporting quickly also makes it easier to tie the damage to a specific storm, such as the June 26 or July 23, 2026 storms.
Rarely. Shingles are textured, so the small bruises hail leaves are hidden by shadows and the shingle grain. A team of Boise roofers needs to get on the roof, often marking impact points with chalk, to see the true extent of the damage. If neighbors are getting their roofs replaced after a storm, that is a strong sign your roof should be checked too.
Not necessarily. Many insurers treat a single weather claim differently from an at-fault claim, but every company sets its own rating rules, so ask your insurance agent how a claim would affect your premium. Rates for a whole area can also rise after a large regional storm whether or not you file.
Yes. A severe thunderstorm on June 26, 2026 brought hail, winds over 50 mph and more than an inch of rain to the Boise area. On July 23, 2026 the National Weather Service in Boise warned of quarter-size hail in central Canyon County, near Homedale and Caldwell, and later issued a severe thunderstorm warning for northeastern Ada County. If your home was in either storm's path, a hail damage roof inspection will show whether your shingles were hit.
