🌩️ Hail season is making its presence known in 2026—and the roofing industry is feeling the impact.
Through early May, more than 3,600 hail storms have already been reported across the United States, making this one of the most active starts to a hail season in recent years. Even more surprising, the center of hail activity has shifted farther north than historical averages, with states like Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana experiencing significantly higher storm activity than expected.
One of the most notable events so far? A record-shattering 6.1-inch hailstone reported in Illinois this March.
As severe weather continues to impact communities across the country, homeowners are being reminded just how important a roof's durability and impact resistance can be. With hail damage driving a surge in roofing repairs and replacements, understanding your roofing options before the next storm arrives can make all the difference.
