After a Colorado hailstorm rolls through, it doesn’t just leave your roof looking rough — it can hit your siding, trim, paint, and even your windows all at once. That’s where roofing and painting can help, especially after a hailstorm.
At Kimberlin Family Roofing, we help Colorado Springs homeowners get their homes fully put back together after a storm — not just the roof, but everything the hail touched.
Here’s what you should know about how roofing and painting services work together, and what a smooth, complete repair process actually looks like.
Key Takeaways
- Hail damage often affects both your roof and your home’s painted surfaces
- Many roofing contractors also coordinate or provide exterior house painting services
- Combining services can simplify insurance claims and timelines
- A full inspection is the first step before any repairs or painting begin
- Proper sequencing (roof first, paint second) protects your home long-term
What Hail Damage Really Does to Your Home
Hail causes billions of dollars in damages to homes every single year. And when it hits your home, it never hits just one surface. It bounces, ricochets, and spreads damage across multiple parts of your home.
Here’s what we commonly see during a roof inspection after hail:
- Bruised or cracked shingles requiring hail damage roof repair
- Dented gutters and downspouts
- Chipped or peeling paint on siding and trim
- Damage to moisture barriers and exterior seals
- Cracks in siding that lead to future water issues
This is why home exterior restoration often includes both roof repair services and exterior house painting services.
How Roofing and Painting Services Work Together
Think of your home like a system, not a set of separate parts.
Your roof protects everything underneath it. Your paint protects everything on the surface.
After a storm, both need attention.
A true full-service exterior contractor will typically:
- Perform a full roof inspection after hail
- Handle necessary roofing services like asphalt shingle repair or metal roof repair
- Address siding and exterior repair
- Prep and repaint damaged surfaces
Why Roofing Always Comes Before Painting
Painting too early is one of the most common mistakes after storm damage.
If roofing work happens after painting, you risk:
- Debris damaging fresh paint
- Ladders and materials scraping surfaces
- Missed underlying issues like roof leak repair or ventilation problems
That’s why we always recommend:
- Roof repairs or roof replacement services first
- Then surface preparation for painting
- Then final paint application
It’s not just about looks; it’s about protecting your investment.
Do Roofing Companies Actually Offer Painting?
Some do, some don’t.
But here’s what matters more: coordination.
At Kimberlin Family Roofing, we offer both roofing and painting as part of our complete hail damage home restoration plan. That means you’re not juggling multiple contractors or timelines.
Benefits of Using One Contractor for Roofing and Painting
When one team manages your storm damage repair, everything tends to run smoother.
Here’s why homeowners prefer it:
- Simplified communication
One point of contact for your entire project - Better insurance alignment
Estimates for roof restoration services and painting match your claim - Consistent quality
From wood repair and surface prep to final paint finish - Faster timelines
No waiting on separate crews
It turns a stressful situation into a manageable one.
The Full Hail Damage Restoration Process
Once the damage has been identified, the next step is putting together a clear plan to restore your home properly. A good roofing contractor will walk you through each phase so you know exactly what’s happening and why.
Here’s how that process typically unfolds:
1. House and Roof Inspection
It starts with a detailed evaluation of your entire exterior. This isn’t just a quick glance at the roof — it’s a full look at how the storm impacted your home as a system.
- Roof condition and potential hail damage
- Siding, trim, and exterior surfaces
- Structural components and vulnerable areas
2. Documentation
After the inspection, everything is carefully documented to support your insurance claim and ensure nothing gets missed.
- Photos of all affected areas
- Written reports and measurements
- Scope of work aligned with insurance requirements
3. Repairs
Once approved, the real restoration work begins. This step focuses on protecting your home and addressing any functional damage first.
- Roof maintenance and repair
- Waterproofing and sealing
- Caulking and weatherproofing
- Insulation and ventilation systems check
4. Surface Preparation
Before any painting can happen, the surfaces need to be properly prepped so the finish lasts.
- Sanding and scraping surfaces
- Stain removal and surface cleaning
- Primer and surface sealing
5. House Painting
With everything prepped, the final step is restoring your home’s appearance and protection.
- Application of durable coatings
- Exterior paint protection for long-term performance
- Paint designed for weather resistance and durability
Choosing the Right Paint After Hail Damage
Not all house paint is created equal, especially in Colorado’s climate.
The right residential painting contractor will focus on:
- Color matching so repairs blend seamlessly
- Corrosion protection coatings for long-term durability
- Mold and moisture prevention to protect your home structure
- High-performance finishes that resist UV and temperature swings
Good paint doesn’t just look nice; it acts as a shield.
What About Insurance?
After a hailstorm, the insurance side of things is usually where homeowners feel the most unsure. What’s covered, what’s not, and how everything gets documented can get confusing pretty quickly.
Most claims don’t just include the roof. Depending on the storm, your coverage may also account for:
- Roof damage and related hail damage roof repair
- Siding, trim, and other exterior surfaces
- Gutters, downspouts, and drainage components
- Interior repairs if moisture made its way inside, like drywall repair and patching
The key is making sure nothing gets missed during the inspection or underreported in the claim.
That’s where having a contractor who understands both post-storm home repairs and roof insurance claims really matters. They can document the full scope of damage, walk you through what your policy may cover, and help make sure your repairs are properly accounted for from the start.
How Long Does the Process Take?
Every home is different, but most projects follow a general rhythm:
| Phase | Timeline |
|---|---|
| Inspection & claim | 1–2 weeks |
| Scheduling & materials | 1–3 weeks |
| Repairs & restoration | 2–6 weeks |
Weather, materials, and insurance approvals all play a role.
Long-Term Benefits of Doing It Right

- Better energy efficiency from updated systems
- Increased home value and curb appeal

Frequently Asked Questions About Roofing and House Painting Services
Yes, some roofing companies offer or coordinate painting services as part of full exterior restoration. This is especially common after hail damage when both the roof and siding are affected. Working with one contractor can simplify the process and improve consistency.
Yes, roof repairs should always come before any exterior painting work. Roofing projects can damage fresh paint if done afterward. Completing the roof first protects your final finish and ensures long-term durability.
High-quality exterior paint designed for weather resistance is best after storm damage. These coatings help protect against moisture, UV exposure, and temperature changes. A professional contractor will recommend products suited to your home and climate.
If you notice chipping, cracking, or exposed material, repainting is likely needed. Hail can weaken protective coatings even if damage isn’t obvious at first. A professional inspection will confirm whether repainting is necessary.
In many cases, insurance policies do cover both roofing and exterior painting if damage is storm-related. Coverage depends on your policy and the extent of the damage. Proper documentation from your contractor helps support your claim.
Most hail damage restoration projects take a few weeks from inspection to completion. The timeline depends on weather, material availability, and insurance approvals. A contractor can provide a more accurate schedule after inspection.
