Hickory Roof Pros provides professional hail damage roofing in Hickory, NC for residential and commercial properties across Catawba County and the Unifour. Hail reads differently on a stacked roof, and that is worth understanding before anyone climbs on yours. The same storm leaves the same strike density everywhere, but the planes that were already thin show it first and worst.
A receiving plane under an upper eave has spent years losing granules to concentrated runoff. When hail hits it, the mat is closer to the surface, so bruises are deeper and easier to find. The main field, protected by full granule cover, may take identical stones and show almost nothing. An inspector who tests only the worst-looking slope will overstate the storm. One who tests only the best-looking slope will understate it. We chalk test squares on both.
Our documentation follows the standard method: ten-by-ten squares on each slope, hits counted and marked, then the collateral evidence that dates the event. Soft metals tell the truth better than shingles do. Gutter aprons, downspout faces, window wraps, the tops of vent hoods and any exposed HVAC fins all record impact direction and size without the ambiguity that a weathered shingle carries.
The recommendation this frame produces is unusual. Where a carrier approves a partial and the damaged slopes are the receiving planes, we generally take it rather than fight for the whole roof, and we spend the settlement on changing what those planes are made of. A self-adhered membrane full field, an impact-rated shingle over it, and a diverter above it will outlast an argument about matching.
On impact-rated products we are neither evangelists nor skeptics. A Class 4 laminate genuinely resists bruising, and several carriers writing in North Carolina discount for it, which is worth asking your agent about directly. It is also heavier and costs more per square, so on a plane that nothing feeds and that has never bruised, the upgrade is money spent on the wrong slope.
We are not going to claim that a dented gutter proves the roof above it is finished. Aluminum dents at a fraction of the energy that bruises a shingle mat, and a valley full of dimpled gutter apron with a clean test square above it means your gutters took hail and your roof did not. That is a gutter claim. Saying so has cost us jobs and we would rather keep saying it.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — kickout diverters soldered rather than caulked at the wall termination, self-adhered membrane run across the full receiving plane, headwall flashing tucked behind the wall covering on a two-story elevation, three by four downspout outlets set at the low end of the lower run, a doubled starter band laid in the impact strip below an upper eave, 26-gauge painted W-valley metal beneath an open valley cut — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Hickory and nearby communities including Newton, Conover, Long View, St. Stephens.

Materials, equipment and how we do hail damage roofing
The difference between hail damage roofing that lasts and hail damage roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with kickout diverters soldered rather than caulked at the wall termination, self-adhered membrane run across the full receiving plane, headwall flashing tucked behind the wall covering on a two-story elevation, three by four downspout outlets set at the low end of the lower run, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Hickory job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in Catawba County and the Unifour means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Hickory Chooses Hickory Roof Pros
- ✓We grade planes, not roofs. A stacked Hickory house gets a separate condition note for each slope, and you keep that sheet whether or not you hire us.
- ✓Receiving planes get a membrane across the full field rather than the customary three-foot eave strip, because the water landing there does not stop three feet up.
- ✓Kickout diverters go on every roof-to-wall termination we build. They cost very little and they are missing from most of the brick-veneer stock in this county.
- ✓We will quote a partial replacement when the lower roof is finished and the field is not, and we will tell you plainly what the color mismatch will look like.
