Does insurance cover hail damage in Michigan?

Michigan requires PA licensing through the Department of Insurance and Financial Services. Standard TCPA rules apply. No state-specific post-storm solicitation waiting period. Most standard homeowners policies cover hail damage to roofs, siding, and windows under dwelling coverage. Check your declarations page for hail-specific deductibles, which may be expressed as a percentage of insured value rather than a flat amount.

How big does hail need to be to damage a roof?

Hail 0.75" (dime-size) can dent soft metals. Hail 1.0" (quarter-size) bruises asphalt shingles and causes granule loss. Hail 1.5"+ (golf ball-size) causes structural damage most insurers will cover for full replacement. A qualified roofing contractor or public adjuster can identify claim-eligible damage that isn't visible to the untrained eye.

What time of year does Michigan get the most hail?

Michigan averages 130 hail storms per year, with peak activity during May – August. This is when warm, moist air from the Gulf meets dry air from the west, creating the atmospheric instability that fuels severe thunderstorms and hail-producing supercells.
