Montana hail is a different animal
Front Range-style storms rolling off the Beartooths drop larger stones than almost anywhere in America - the Billings Heights and West End have both taken baseball-size hail in recent years. Standard three-tab shingles are simply outmatched; even architectural shingles take mat fractures from two-inch stones that leave the roof looking superficially intact.
What a proper post-hail inspection covers
Every slope walked, every impact chalked and photographed, soft metals documented, and the verdict delivered with evidence: repair the strikes, or replace a roof whose field is compromised. Trophy's Billings crew inspects free after every major event across Yellowstone County - Lockwood, Laurel, Shepherd, Huntley and out to Red Lodge and Columbus.
Building back stronger
Class 4 impact-rated shingle or metal is the only rational replacement choice in Yellowstone County. Modern Class 4 products look identical to standard architectural shingles and shrug off strikes that total conventional roofs. Ask for the certification document with installation - it is proof of the upgrade for any future purpose.
