Fort Wayne Premium Roofing provides professional hail damage roofing in Fort Wayne, IN for residential and commercial properties across northeast Indiana. Allen County does get hail, but it is not a hail alley, and the honest starting position is that most of the roofs we are called out to look at after a storm are not damaged in a way an insurer will pay for.
We find that out with a ten-by-ten test square on each slope, chalked and photographed, with strikes counted inside it. That is the method carriers use, so we use it first. Fewer than the threshold count and there is no claim, no matter how alarming the driveway looked. We will show you the square rather than describe it. The square stays chalked so anyone else can count it after us.
Soft metal tells the truth faster than shingles do. Downspouts, gutter aprons, drip edge, roof vents and any aluminum trim take a clear dent from stones that are large enough to bruise a mat. If the soft metal is clean and the shingles look chewed, you are usually looking at granule loss from age or from foot traffic, not from hail. Age looks like hail from ten feet and never from two.
Bruising is a mat injury, not a surface one. We press the strike to feel whether the fiberglass mat has fractured underneath. A black spot that is only granule displacement will weather and close. A bruise will not, and it becomes a leak in three to five years, which is exactly why carriers care about the distinction. Carriers know this, which is why the press test is not optional.
If there is a claim, our report is written for the adjuster: slope by slope, dated, with the test squares, the soft-metal photographs, the storm date and the direction of the strike pattern. If there is no claim, we tell you and we do not file one. A denied claim on your record has a cost, and a nuisance claim earns it for nothing. A nuisance claim is a cost you carry for years.
On genuine replacements impact-rated shingles come up, and we will also tell you when they are not worth their premium. On a house that gets a real hail event once in a very long while, spending the upgrade money on better metal, more downspout outlets and a properly ventilated attic returns more than a rating class does. Buy the rating class for the roof you have, not the storm you remember.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — three-by-four rectangular downspout with a cast outlet drop, 24-gauge kick-out flashing turned into the gutter face, two-piece roof drain with a clamping ring and dome strainer, overflow scupper set above the primary drain rim, tapered polyisocyanurate crickets sloped a quarter inch per foot, hot-air-welded 60-mil membrane on mechanically fastened plates — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fort Wayne and nearby communities including New Haven, Huntertown, Leo-Cedarville, Woodburn.

Materials, equipment and how we do hail damage roofing
The difference between hail damage roofing that lasts and hail damage roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with three-by-four rectangular downspout with a cast outlet drop, 24-gauge kick-out flashing turned into the gutter face, two-piece roof drain with a clamping ring and dome strainer, overflow scupper set above the primary drain rim, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fort Wayne job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in northeast Indiana means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Fort Wayne Chooses Fort Wayne Premium Roofing
- ✓Before we price anything with a trough in it we establish which of Fort Wayne's three sewer regimes your address sits on, because in the older neighborhoods the pipe under the street is carrying sanitary flow and rainfall in one barrel and it is full exactly when your roof needs it.
- ✓Every estimate says where the water leaves the property: a splash block, a buried tile we have put a camera or a hose down, or a leader we are recommending you abandon. That line is on the quote next to the shingle, because it decides as much about the roof's life as the shingle does.
- ✓Deck replacement carries a signed rate per sheet agreed before tear-off starts, so bad sheathing reaches you as a figure you already accepted rather than as a negotiation on your driveway with the roof open.
- ✓Intake and exhaust ventilation are counted in square inches of net free area and printed on the estimate. Post-2006 houses in the annexed southwest and boxed-cornice houses in the old core fail this in opposite directions, and neither is fixed by adding another ridge vent.
