When a hail storm passes, some of the main concerns homeowners have will have to do with their gardens and their roofs. However, while you can replant a broken garden without much of an expense, you can’t usually do the same with your roof. Instead, you’ll have to evaluate it and find out how much it’s worth, and then have your roofers recover the materials and sell them, while installing a brand new roof on your property.

Now, the value of your roof after a hail storm will typically be determined by how much the material is worth and whether or not it’s recyclable. In some cases, such as with the loss of a wooden roof, the material can’t really be recycled too easily. If the wood was affected by pests or mold over time, then it’s definitely not going to be of much use.

However, materials such as metal, asphalt and slate can actually be recycled. These materials will not be much cheaper than their newer counterparts. The difference is that, instead of a brand new set of shingles, you have an older one. As a result, with just a slight price difference, you’ll find that contractors and manufacturers will pay good money especially for more expensive roofing materials like slate and copper.
