Was your address in the June 19 hail?
Get a free address storm check: we look up the hail reported near your home and inspect the roof, with photos, before winter.
What did the June 19 hail actually do to roofs?
These are real photos from Repair King inspections in Roseville and St. Paul in the days after the storm. Chalk circles mark hail hits our inspectors found.
Do you see marks like these on your mailbox, gutters or AC unit? Your roof probably took hits too. Check my address →
What we saw from this storm
Data you won't find on a weather site: from the hail-monitoring service Repair King subscribes to and our own job files.
Monitoring flags are estimates of hail at a property from radar, not confirmed damage. Project files count all Repair King jobs opened in those cities since June 19, not only hail jobs.
How do I know if the June 19 hail damaged my roof?
Look for fresh dents on gutters, downspouts, roof vents, AC fins and mailboxes, and granules collecting at downspouts. Most roof damage can't be seen from the ground, so a documented roof inspection is the reliable way to know.
- Dents on gutters, downspouts, vents or the mailbox
- Granules washing out of the downspouts
- Cracked or dented siding, window wraps or screens
- New leaks or ceiling stains since June
Hail 1.75" and larger, like the reports in Roseville, Little Canada, Falcon Heights, Maplewood and north St. Paul, commonly bruises or fractures asphalt shingles. Read: How big does hail have to be to damage a roof?
Is it too late to get my roof checked?
Not yet, but the clock is running. Many Minnesota homeowner policies give one year from the storm date to bring suit over hail (Minn. Stat. § 65A.26 allows it), so for this storm that could be June 19, 2027. Other policies use the general two-year rule (§ 65A.01). Notice of damage is due sooner, usually promptly. Check your policy and get the roof checked now. See how long you have in Minnesota.
Why "one year" is really about six and a half months
If your policy gives one year for hail, count backward from the deadline. Minnesota winter and the claim process both take their share.
Below about 40°F, shingle sealant strips don't bond on their own, so manufacturers call for extra steps like hand-sealing, and snow and ice make roofs unsafe to work on. If you find out about damage months after the June 19 storm, most of your window may already be gone.
Cold days: NOAA weather records for Minneapolis-St. Paul (via the Regional Climate Centers' ACIS database), 30 winters, July 1996 to June 2026: an average of 107 days a year never get above 40°F (range 76 to 136). The 60-day claim and scheduling figure is an example, not a promise; yours may be shorter or longer. Your policy sets your actual deadlines.
What should I do now?
- Get a free roof inspection now. We check your roof, gutters, siding and screens, photograph every hit, and tell you whether the June 19 storm left damage worth acting on.
- Find your deadline. Open your policy to Suit Against Us (often in the Minnesota endorsement), or ask your agent: "Is my limit for hail one year or two?"
- Decide with the facts in hand. With dated photos and a written report, you and your agent can make the call before winter or a newer storm muddies the picture.
