How Much Do Storm and Hail Damage Roof Repairs Cost in 2025?

This article was updated using automation technology and thoroughly reviewed for accuracy by HomeAdvisor Editor Ryan Noonan.

Repairing hail, wind, or storm damage costs homeowners an average of $12,404, with most spending between $2,718 and $22,144. Costs vary based on the severity of the damage, the size of the affected area, the location, and the materials used. It's essential to budget for these unexpected repairs and hire a professional to ensure your home remains safe and secure.

After any severe weather event, it's important to inspect your home for damage and address any issues promptly to prevent small problems from becoming larger, more costly repairs. 

Storm and Hail Damage Roof Repair Costs

Repairing roof damage after a storm costs around $1,100 on average, including the individual costs of roof fixture repairs. Even minor damage can lead to significant issues if not addressed promptly. It's important to have a qualified roofing repair professional assess your roof for damage after a storm and perform any necessary repairs safely. Avoid attempting DIY fixes, especially if there's a possibility of structural damage.

Your roof’s material informs your storm and hail damage roof repair costs. Here’s a breakdown of roofing materials and their associated repair costs.

Asphalt Shingles

A full asphalt shingle roof replacement costs between $1,700 and $8,400. Wind can pry shingles up, and heavy hail can break them in half. Even if they do not appear harmed from a distance, if the surface is marred, then their ability to resist sunlight and moisture is compromised. 

New shingles will run you between $1 and $5 per square foot. The most popular roofing type, asphalt shingles, are nailed down and stick together to form a waterproof top for your home. The cost of repairs will depend on the type of asphalt shingle your roof was initially covered with and how extensive the damage is.

Metal

Repairing metal roofing costs an average of about $300, with most repairs ranging from $390 to $1,900. Using solid and interlocking sheets of metal does save you the trouble of replacing shingles, but it is just as vulnerable to impacts like hail or tree branches. Most metal roofs suffer from dents, but large or deep dents can lead to puncture, leakage, and further damage to the home. Even extreme vibration caused by wind or hail can shake loose features.

Tile

Fixing a tile roof costs about $700 to $800 per square (equalling 100 square feet), though that number can quickly increase for larger homes or severe damage. These roofs are costly, heavy, and quite durable. Tile is resistant to storm damage but, unfortunately, is also brittle. Should it sustain enough impact through hail or debris to be destroyed, you will need someone both skilled in repairs and experienced to fix it, as uncareful work could result in more broken tiles than necessary.

Storm and Hail Siding Repair Costs

The average cost of siding repairs is about $910. Labor averages between $40 and $90 per hour. Storms can drive rain, sleet, or hail against your home's exterior. Clogged or malfunctioning gutters can also contribute to siding damage. It's important to have your siding inspected after severe storms to identify and address any issues.

What your siding is made from will determine how much you’ll pay for siding repair costs after a storm. These are average repair costs based on siding materials:

Wood 

Wood siding repair costs approximately $9 per square foot. While it adds natural beauty to your home, it's vulnerable to water damage. Without regular inspections, moisture can lead to rot, potentially compromising your home's structure. Keeping paint and caulking maintained helps protect wood siding from the elements.

Aluminum and Metal

Aluminum siding costs about $3 to $6 per square foot to replace. Expect to pay on the higher end of that range, as fixing metal is generally more expensive than cement fiber or vinyl. Siding done in metal is low maintenance and does not risk the kind of compromises you see with wood, but a storm can cause significant, even extensive, denting. 

Vinyl 

Vinyl siding costs about $2 to $12 per square foot. It is practical, attractive, and lightweight. More resistant to the elements and insect life than wood siding, it also doesn't suffer the denting of metal siding and is simple to clean. For these reasons, vinyl siding is notably storm resistant and relatively easy to replace, but it is difficult to fix. It may be difficult to find an exact color match, so replacement is often preferred.

Other Storm Repair Costs

Storms can cause various additional damages to your property. Here are some common extra repair costs homeowners may encounter:

• Tree damage: Storms can blow trees over on your property and often down onto structures. The final price to remove trees can vary greatly.

• Gas pipe repair: Gas pipe repairs cost an average of $500.

• Fixing broken window glass: Repairing broken window glass ranges from $100 to $650.

Deck or Porch Repair

Labor rates for deck fixes are anywhere between $100 and $500, depending on the time it takes to finish the work. Deck/porch repairs typically range from $670 to over $3,000. If your deck or porch appears to have taken storm damage, proceed very carefully. Use another door if possible and avoid walking on or under the structure until a professional can be called in for an inspection. 

If you find yourself in need of an entirely new deck, the average cost is $8,200. Repairing a wooden deck often requires replacing screws, damaged deck boards, anchoring stairs, and labor. Nails only cost a few cents each, but deck boards will make up the majority of the material budget.

Damage by Storm Type

Different types of storms cause different kinds of damage to your home. Here’s an overview of common types of damage based on the type of storm.

Hail, Ice, and Snow

Winter storms are dangerous for a number of reasons, not least of which is power outages that can cause the house to stop using any electric-powered heating. Hail, for instance, is made up of heavy balls and chunks of ice formed in the upper atmosphere and blown by the wind. When they fall on your house, they sometimes do so with force great enough to crack roof shingles and break windows. 

Snow becomes incredibly heavy when stacked and can potentially cause structural damage with its own weight. Even the cold itself can freeze and burst your pipes.

Tornado and Winds

The damage tornadoes can do is astounding. These twisters are incredibly variable, sometimes highly visible and destructive and other times barely existent as more than a swirl of wind. However, if a tornado hits your home, you may have a lot of repairs and cleaning up to do afterward. Because of the way tornados form, they are often accompanied by flying chunks of hail, along with both light and heavy debris they pick up. With or without flying projectiles, tornadoes can rip off roof shingles, shatter windows, and drop large tree branches, or even whole trees, onto your home.

Hurricanes, Tropical, and Thunderstorms

Your house was built to resist normal amounts of rain and moisture, but any storm that involves an unusually large quantity of rain can put a home at risk. Heavy rains can damage not only your roof but also your foundation and any belongings left outside or in a water-exposed area. 

Clogged or damaged gutters can fill up and break off or fail to protect less water-resistant parts of the house, while high winds and flooding can potentially damage your utilities. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and thunder are similar in that all three can involve high winds and heavy rain, so after withstanding any of these, your home should be checked thoroughly for both wind and water harm.

DIY vs. Hiring Repair Professionals

DIY repairs are not advisable for several reasons. Besides ensuring safety and expertise levels, professional help is often necessary to meet home insurance requirements. If your home has suffered storm damage, it's crucial to hire a professional to assess and repair the damage safely. A qualified pro can provide the necessary documentation for insurance claims and ensure your home is restored promptly and correctly.
