Large Hail Moved Through Roseville and Surrounding Communities
On June 19, 2026, a powerful hailstorm moved across portions of the northeast Twin Cities metro, producing hail large enough to potentially damage roofing, siding, gutters, windows, and other exterior building materials.
Based on preliminary hail reports, neighborhoods in and around Roseville, Shoreview, Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Little Canada, St. Anthony, Lauderdale, North St. Paul, Maplewood, Oakdale, White Bear Lake, Vadnais Heights, Columbia Heights, and portions of St. Paul and northeast Minneapolis were within or near the storm’s path.
If your home was located in the affected area, now is a good time to inspect your property for signs of hail damage, even if you don’t see any obvious leaks.
Was Your Home in the Path of the Storm?
While hail size varied across the storm, some areas experienced hail capable of damaging asphalt shingles, soft metals, vinyl siding, window screens, gutters, and roof accessories.
Even hail measuring around 1 inch in diameter can damage many roofing systems under the right conditions.
If your neighbors are finding damage, there’s a good chance your home should be inspected as well.
What Should You Look For?
Many signs of hail damage can be seen from the ground before ever climbing onto a roof.
Take a walk around your home and look for:
- Dents or dings in gutters and downspouts
- Damage to aluminum fascia, roof vents, or other soft metals
- Torn or dented window screens
- Chips or cracks in vinyl siding
- Granules collecting near downspouts
- Fallen tree branches or storm debris
- Water stains inside your attic or on ceilings after the next rainfall
Keep in mind that roof damage itself is often difficult—or impossible—to identify from the ground.
Why Roof Damage Isn't Always Visible
One of the biggest misconceptions after a hailstorm is that if the roof isn’t leaking, it must be fine.
In reality, hail often damages the protective asphalt surface of a shingle without causing an immediate leak. Those damaged areas can weather more quickly over time, shortening the life of the roof and increasing the risk of future problems.
That’s why many homeowners don’t discover hail damage until months later during another inspection or when filing a claim becomes more difficult.
A professional roof inspection can identify damage that isn’t visible from the ground and document the condition of your roof while the storm is still fresh.
Should You File an Insurance Claim Right Away?
Not necessarily.
The first step is determining whether your home actually sustained storm damage.
At First Impressions Exteriors, we recommend starting with a professional inspection before contacting your insurance company. If we find storm-related damage, we’ll explain what we found, provide detailed photo documentation, and help you understand whether filing a claim makes sense based on the condition of your home.
If no damage is found, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your roof made it through the storm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Did the June 19, 2026 hailstorm damage every roof in Roseville?
No. Hail can vary significantly over short distances. Two homes on the same street may experience different levels of damage depending on hail size, wind direction, roof age, and surrounding trees.
How long do I have to file a hail damage claim?
Every insurance policy is different, but it’s generally best to have your home inspected as soon as practical after a storm. Prompt documentation helps establish the condition of your property and supports any future claim if damage is present.
Can hail damage cause leaks months later?
Yes. Hail damage doesn’t always create an immediate leak. Instead, it can weaken the roofing system, allowing normal weathering to accelerate over time.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. We provide complimentary, no-obligation storm damage inspections for homeowners throughout the Twin Cities.
