Gutter Hail Damage Repair and Replacement
Hail Damage?
Hail damage in Colorado Springs is no surprise to us residents, especially during the summer months. If you've been through a major hail storm lately, it is likely that your roof and gutter system have been damaged and will need repair very shortly after. Hail dents in your gutters can cause leaks, pooling water, damaged downspouts and outlets, broken gutter hangers, and many other factors that can jeopardize the way that water is directed away from your home. This is why it is very important to call in a local gutter expert after a hail storm, so that these issues can be avoided before the next rainfall.
Costa Seamless Gutter Service is proud to be that local expert, as we've been serving Colorado Springs for nearly 20 years. We are very experienced with gutter hail damage, including when you need to replace your roof and how it affects your gutters. It is our number one recommendation that you hire experts in both roofing and gutter. Leave the roofing to the roofers and the gutters to the gutter company. With active hail damage in our area, it is essential that your roofing system is done correctly — meaning both your gutters and your roof.

Repair and Replacement Process
Unfortunately, there is no "un-denting" of your gutters. We can't pop out a hail dent on a piece of gutter like you could a car door. This means that if your gutters have been damaged by hail, they will need to be replaced. At Costa Gutter, we do our best to match the new material with your existing system. We have a wide selection of colors that we can choose from to make sure there isn't a visual disruption for your gutter system. When we replace gutters after hail, we can also help fix damage to any of the hangers, outlets, and downspouts to make sure that these essential pieces function properly.
Repairing and replacing gutters following a hail storm requires expert attention and care, especially if you have 4” flanged gutters. They were very common for older gutters systems on Colorado Springs’ homes. This type of gutter is attached straight onto the roof, tucked under your shingles.
If roofers re-roof, and fail to remove the gutters before they place new drip edge and shingles on, 4” flanged gutters get “locked-on” onto your roof. They become trapped under shingles, which can be very costly in the future. If this happens to your home, the roofers may have to return to remove the first two rows of your brand new roof shingles, just to gain access to the gutters in order to remove them. They would then have to return again after the new gutters are installed and re-shingle.
We will work directly with you to make repairs on hail claims and with other trades during the construction process, including roofers, painters, stucco contractors, etc. If you are in need of gutter replacement after a hail storm, send us a message!
Signs of Gutter Hail Damage
The most obvious sign of hail damage on your gutters are the visible dents. These can be sized anywhere from quarter-sized to golf ball-sized — even baseball-sized depending on the severity of the hail! However, there are other signs that your gutter system has been damaged. Keep an eye out for:
-
Dents
-
Gutters, hangers, or outlets that are hanging off or appear loose
-
Roof shingle granules near your downspouts
