Can a Roof Be Rejuvenated After Hail Damage?
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?
- If you suspect storm damage, have it assessed first. If you plan to file an insurance claim, contact your insurer before any work.
- If the roof only shows normal aging, book an inspection to see if it qualifies for rejuvenation.
- If it is too far gone, replacement is the honest answer.
