Can a Roof Be Rejuvenated After Hail Damage?

By Scott — Board Certified Master Inspector·October 30, 2026·4 min read

Roof rejuvenation is for sound shingles, not storm-damaged ones. Here is how to tell the difference after a New Mexico hailstorm.

Updated October 30, 2026

Quick Answer: Usually not, if the hail did real damage. Rejuvenation is a preventative treatment for intact shingles. Major storm damage disqualifies a roof, and we do not do repairs or replacements. Minor wear from hail can be fine, so get it inspected.

Why doesn't rejuvenation fix hail damage?

GreenSoy™ replaces oils that the sun and age remove from shingles. It does not repair bruised, cracked, or punctured shingles or restore lost granules. Treating a damaged roof would not hold up, so we do not recommend it.

How can I tell if hail damaged my roof?

  • Dents or dark spots on shingles where granules were knocked off
  • Dented vents, flashing, or gutters
  • Granules piled at downspouts after a storm
  • Leaks or stains inside

What should I do?

  1. If you suspect storm damage, have it assessed first. If you plan to file an insurance claim, contact your insurer before any work.
  2. If the roof only shows normal aging, book an inspection to see if it qualifies for rejuvenation.
  3. If it is too far gone, replacement is the honest answer.
