Roof Leak After Hailstorm in Pierce, CO — July 2, 2026
At 12:27 AM on July 2, 2026, CBS Colorado Meteorologist Joe Ruch posted a live Doppler radar image to his 2,300-member Colorado Weather channel confirming destructive hail impacting northern Colorado. The radar showed an intense cell covering Pierce, Ault, Eaton, and Greeley, and surrounding communities in Weld County. Pierce sits at the northern edge of the Weld County plains — fully exposed to storms tracking south from Wyoming and northwest from the foothills. The July 2 cell tracked directly over this corridor with intense lightning and destructive hail confirmed by CBS Colorado radar. If your home is in Pierce and you haven’t documented the damage yet, do it today — photos, date-stamped. Then call us.

Call 720-828-7997 for a professional roof inspection with written documentation. We provide a full inspection report that your insurance carrier accepts.
Step 3 — File the Claim
File with your insurer using today’s storm date: July 2, 2026. We attend the adjuster meeting and make sure nothing is left out of scope.
Step 4 — Get It Fixed
Fixed-price replacement with architectural or Class 4 impact-resistant shingles. Permit pulled, inspected, and closed before we leave.
Why the Insurance Clock Starts Today
Most Colorado homeowner policies give you 12 months from the date of the storm to file a claim. That means your deadline is July 2, 2027. But don’t wait. Insurance adjusters get booked out, contractors fill their schedules, and undocumented damage gets worse over the summer. The best time to get inspected is in the first week after a storm while the evidence is fresh and the damage is measurable.
Josh Brooks Construction and Renovation Inc. serves Pierce and Weld County from our Longmont base. We carry license CON-24-0152 and have been doing hail damage claims in northern Colorado since 2014. We know what adjusters look for and we document every surface — roof, gutters, siding, window screens, vents, and soft metals — in one comprehensive inspection report.
What We Inspect After a Hail Event
- Roof shingles — granule loss, bruising, cracked tabs, exposed mat
- Ridge cap and ridge vent — first to fail in high-wind hail events
- Gutters and downspouts — dents and dings are primary evidence of hail size
- Soffit and fascia — aluminum soffit panels dent visibly from hail
- Window screens and frames — screen damage corroborates hail size documentation
- AC condenser fins — bent fins confirm hail impact on your property specifically
- Siding — James Hardie, LP SmartSide, vinyl, and wood all show different impact patterns

“I saw the radar tonight. That was a serious storm. If you’re in Pierce or anywhere along that northern Colorado corridor, get on your property tomorrow morning and look at your gutters, your AC unit, your window screens. Those soft-metal dents are your evidence. Don’t wait for a leak to appear — by then the damage is worse and harder to document correctly. Call us and we’ll be there.”
