Hail crossed Arlington — here is what it likely did to your roof, and what to do about it, in one minute.
The county record behind Arlington is 280 hail events over 30 years and a maximum stone of 4 inches. Damage at that scale bruises and cracks shingles long before it leaks. A free inspection settles what your roof actually took: test squares, counts, dated photos, and a written view you can hand your insurer. Call the number on this page — the call and the inspection are free.

Hail rarely stops at the shingles. The same storm that bruises a roof in Arlington dents gutters, splits siding and starts leaks, so the six services below are the ones local pros are called for most after a storm here.
Every replacement ends with a walkthrough: slopes checked, flashing lines inspected, the yard swept with a magnet, and the paperwork handed over for the claim file. A pro measures every slope first and talks through materials, Class 4 impact-resistant options and cost factors before any work is booked in Arlington.
📞 Call NowFixing the gutter line also protects siding, walkways and the soil line, which all suffer when roof water dumps in the wrong place every storm. Dents along a run are photographed before any straightening — once the metal is repaired, the evidence of the storm's size goes with it.
📞 Call NowA proper inspection covers every slope, plus the attic side where leaks and deck damage show first, and it ends with dated photos tied to your address. Slope-by-slope hit counts, not impressions, are what the report leads with — the numbers the claim will be argued from on both sides.
📞 Call NowEmergency leaks are first dried in to stop the water today; the permanent repair is then scheduled and documented for your claim file as well. Fast repairs stop a small entry point from rotting decking and insulation, which is where a cheap fix quietly turns into a structural bill later.
📞 Call NowWhen hail crushes long runs beyond straightening, replacement is the honest fix: new sections, correct pitch, sealed corners and downspouts that drain clear. Undersized or sagging old lines are upgraded at the same time, so heavy Front Range downpours stop overwhelming the system every single summer storm.
📞 Call NowWhere an exact colour match is impossible on weathered walls, the pro plans panel placement so the replaced runs sit on the least visible elevation. Hailstones big enough to bruise shingles also crack vinyl siding, dent fibre-cement and chip paint on the storm-facing walls of Arlington homes.
📞 Call NowAn active leak gets worse by the hour, not by the week. While you wait, the water is wetting decking and insulation above the ceiling. Call now — emergency cover for Arlington runs around the clock, with typical arrivals of 30–60 minutes. The call itself is free.
Protect Your Rooms Move furniture and valuables away from drips; set a bucket under each.
Photograph Everything Take date-stamped photos of the damage, the hail and any stains.
Keep Everyone Clear Keep children and pets away from wet ceilings and sagging plaster.

Not all of Colorado hails the same. In Arlington, four things stack the odds: how often Kiowa County storms, how high the town sits, how old its roofs are, and what the winter does to summer damage. The figures below are this town's, from the sources listed on this page.
Put the county's record in state context: 280 hail events in Kiowa County across 30 years, the largest stone 4 inches. Arlington is not an outlier street or an unlucky subdivision — it is one town inside a county-sized pattern that NOAA has been logging since 1995. Roofs here are not occasionally tested by hail; they are on a schedule of tests, and the only choice is whether each test is documented when it happens.
At 4,338 feet, Arlington gets the high-country version of every roofing problem. Hail arrives faster through thin air. Sunshine is stronger, so the asphalt under any missing granules ages quickly. And the swing between a warm afternoon and a freezing night is wide — the daily stress that opens hail's hairline cracks a fraction more each cycle, all winter long.
Read the housing numbers as a roofer does: median build year 1938, 76.9% of homes from before 1980, 62.5% owner-occupied. Roofs over that stock are in every condition from new architectural to twice-patched three-tab, and hail grades them without mercy — the same storm that scuffs a five-year-old roof opens a twenty-year-old one. It is why street-by-street, the honest answer is always a count, never a guess.
The climate normals tell the winter half of the story: roughly 16.7 inches of snow a year near Arlington and 171.7 freezing nights, measured at Ordway 21 N. Snow load sits on hail-weakened decks for weeks. Every thaw sends water into storm damage the summer inspection may have called minor, and every freeze widens it. Arlington roofs do not get to heal between seasons — they get tested.
Arlington sits in Hail Alley, and its hail is judged against three marks: 1-inch hail (quarter size) cracks older, brittle mats; 1.75-inch hail (golf ball size) breaks most standard shingles outright; and 2-inch-plus hail (tennis ball size) can dent metal and damage the decking itself. Most Arlington homes carry asphalt shingles — architectural (dimensional) shingles on the newer builds, 3-tab shingles on the older ones — and the upgrade conversation is Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, tested to the UL 2218 impact rating and often earning an insurance premium discount (Class 4) at renewal.Arlington Roof Risk Snapshot

This is the long version: how hail hurts a Arlington roof, how the damage is proved, what insurance does with it, and how to keep a storm-beaten roof alive between storms. Everything in it is specific to Arlington and Kiowa County's record. It starts with how hail forms — stones growing in a storm's updraft — and with the soft metals that record every hit. It follows the stones onto asphalt and architectural shingles alike.
You will not spot the signs of hail damage from the driveway, and neither will your neighbours — a storm-beaten roof in Arlington hides in plain sight.
Size thresholds depend on the roof, but the working scale in Colorado runs like this. Quarter-size hail, about 1 inch, scuffs new architectural shingles but cracks older, brittle ones. At 1.75 inches — golf ball size — standard shingles break regularly.
A real inspection is measurement, not opinion. On each slope the pro chalks a test square — ten feet by ten feet — circles every hit inside it, counts them and photographs the result.
Insurers pay for functional damage: damage that shortens the roof's life or lets water in. A bruised mat, a cracked shingle, granule loss heavy enough to expose asphalt — these are functional, because the roof will now fail years early.
In Colorado, almost always yes: hail is a standard covered peril, and Arlington claims are routine business for insurers working the Front Range and plains.
Counts decide. Harm concentrated on one slope of a young roof usually repairs: the struck shingles, flashing and metals are renewed and the roof goes back to work.
Plenty of Arlington owners first meet their hail damage the following winter, as a ceiling stain. The delay is physical: hail fractures the mat and strips the granules, yet the shingle often stays watertight until the exposed asphalt has cooked through a high-altitude summer — UV on exposed asphalt oxidises and embrittles it — and autumn's freeze-thaw cycles work the cracks open. The storm dates behind claims like these are public record — the Kiowa County roof repair & replacement page lists the county's.
Your own part happens at ground level. Safe ground-level checks a homeowner can do after a storm: binoculars on the slopes, a look at gutters and downspout splash blocks for granules, photographs of any dents in vents and caps, and a glance at ceilings after heavy rain. Neighbours' experience is a guide, too: the pages for hail damage roof repair in Haswell and Karval hail damage roof help show what the same storms did a few miles away.
The record behind a Arlington claim is public: the NOAA / NCEI Storm Events Database logs the storm, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued the warning, the county building department holds the local permit (roofing) rules for the rebuild, and the town's elevation / altitude is part of its weather story. The assembly fails as a system: ice & water shield guards the eaves, flashing guards the joints, roof decking carries the whole build, and gutters clear the water the roof collects — hail that wounds any one of them shortens the working life of the rest. Three practicalities come up in almost every Arlington job: the honest roof age (paperwork beats guesses), whether tarping or a fuller temporary dry-in is the right first response tonight, and whether a solar panel detach & reset has to be scheduled into the tear-off. Under and around the shingles, the parts that decide leaks are the synthetic underlayment (or older felt underlayment), the drip edge at the eaves, valley metal where slopes meet, the starter strip at the first course, step flashing and counter flashing at walls and chimneys, and the hip and ridge cap shingles along the peaks. On metal homes, a standing seam metal roof takes the same storms differently — it dents where shingles crack. Openings have their own hail weak points: a ridge vent or a turbine vent (whirlybird) can crack or knock off balance, a pipe boot's rubber seal splits in the sun after a bruising, and every vent and stack on the slope is soft-metal evidence of what the storm actually did. The seasons compound it in Arlington: wind-driven hail does the storm-day damage, then UV degradation cooks the exposed asphalt summer after summer, the freeze-thaw cycle prises the cracks wider each winter, and an ice dam backs meltwater under the eaves of north-facing slopes. The evidence vocabulary is specific: a test square counted in chalk marks proves bruising that the soft metals corroborate, granules washed into the gutters measure the surface a storm has stripped, and a drone inspection covers the steep slopes nobody should walk. Two claim mechanics decide how the money runs: the insurance adjuster who scopes your roof and writes the loss summary, and the filing window your policy sets for reporting storm damage — miss the second and the first never happens.

Work through these five ground-level signs at your Arlington home. Any one of them justifies a closer look; several together, after the same storm, is the classic pattern of a roof that needs repair or replacement and an insurer who needs to see the evidence.
