Hail Season Is Winding Down — Here's Why It’s Time to Paint

Every year, Colorado’s hail season leaves its mark. Whether it’s obvious dents in siding, peeling or cracked paint, or just that nagging feeling that something might have been damaged, July is when homeowners start asking the big question: should I get this looked at?

At LoCOl Paint, we’ve already seen the impact of this year’s storms on homes throughout Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas. Some of the damage is easy to spot — chipped paint, water stains, or fading from constant exposure. Other times, it's more hidden. Even light hail can compromise the protective paint layer on your home, which allows moisture to sneak into cracks and crevices. That might not seem like a big deal today, but give it a few seasons and suddenly you’re looking at wood rot, mold, or more expensive repairs. We’ve seen it happen too many times.

The good news is that there’s still time to act — but not much. Most insurance companies put strict time limits on how long you can file a claim for hail-related damage. Once that deadline passes, it becomes much harder — or even impossible — to get that support. We work with homeowners every week who need documentation or a professional quote to support their claim. Whether you already have a roofer involved or just want a second set of eyes, we can walk your property, assess any damage to paint or trim, and give you a clear breakdown of what needs to be done.

We’re also seeing our calendar fill up fast, as it does every year after the hail settles down. Roofers, painters, and contractors across the region all start booking up as homeowners scramble to get work done before the weather shifts again. If painting is something you’ve been thinking about — even if you’re not 100% sure — we strongly recommend getting on the schedule now. That way, you’ve got a spot reserved before the rush, and you’re not left waiting until fall or even next spring.
