Can Hail Damage Your Windows? Signs to Look For and What to Do

Colorado’s hailstorms don’t just wreck roofs — they can also crack, chip, or weaken your windows. But many homeowners don’t realize the damage until it’s too late.
At MD Roofing, we do more than roofing. We inspect and replace hail-damaged windows as part of our full-service storm restoration. Here’s how to tell if your windows were hit — and what to do next to get them replaced through insurance.

What Does Hail Damage Look Like on Windows?Look for these signs around the frame, glass, and screens:
✅ Cracks or chips in the glass
✅ Foggy or cloudy panes (moisture between double-pane windows)
✅ Dented frames or warped sashes
✅ Torn or punctured window screens
✅ Drafts or new leaks around the edges
Sometimes the damage is cosmetic — other times, it weakens the seal or structure, leading to energy loss or water damage down the road.

Can I File an Insurance Claim for Hail-Damaged Windows?Yes — if the damage is sudden and caused by a covered peril (like hail or wind), your homeowner's policy will likely cover window replacement.
But you’ll need:

• A detailed inspection
  
• Clear documentation (photos + written report)
  
• Prompt claim filing (most policies limit your timeframe)
  

That’s where MD Roofing comes in — we inspect everything, not just your roof, and help you file a comprehensive claim.

Why Most Contractors Miss Window DamageA typical roofing company only checks the roof — and insurance adjusters often miss damage unless it’s pointed out.
MD Roofing takes a whole-home approach:

• ✅ We inspect the roof, windows, siding, stucco, and garage doors
  
• ✅ We document every issue and meet the adjuster on-site
  
• ✅ We help ensure everything damaged gets approved — not just the obvious stuff
  

Don’t Wait — Small Window Damage Can Lead to Bigger ProblemsCracked or broken seals in your windows can cause:

• Energy loss and higher bills
  
• Water leaks and mold
  
• Foggy glass that ruins curb appeal
  
• Long-term structural issues around the window
  

Even if the damage looks minor, let a pro check it out before it gets worse (and your insurance window closes).
