STORM DAMAGE
Hail Hit Roseville on June 19th. Here's What to Check.
Published: June 22, 2026 Read Time: 5 min
The June 19th storm impacted portions of Roseville, St. Paul, and surrounding communities, with storm intensity varying significantly across the area. If you're a homeowner in one of the harder-hit neighborhoods, here's what we've seen, what to look for on your home, and what to do next.
What Happened on June 19th
A storm system moved through the northeast metro on June 19th, producing hail and damaging winds. Residents in Roseville and portions of St. Paul reported significant hail accumulation and vehicle damage. Storm impacts varied widely from neighborhood to neighborhood, but several areas saw enough activity to warrant a closer look at homes, roofs, and exteriors.
Roseville Among the Hardest Hit Areas
Roseville experienced some of the heaviest hail reported during the storm. Our team has been out in the area inspecting homes, and we've observed everything from minor cosmetic impacts to more significant damage on roofs, siding, and gutters. Neighborhoods near Central Park and Lake Josephine showed especially clear signs of storm activity, with hail accumulation and wind impacts visible across the area.
While not every Roseville home will show damage, the storm covered enough ground that a quick exterior check is worth your time. Hail this size can shorten the lifespan of a roof even when nothing looks obviously broken from the street.
Hail Reports Extend into St. Paul
Reports of hail were also received across portions of St. Paul, including the Greater East Side, Payne-Phalen neighborhood, and areas surrounding Lake Phalen. While storm impacts varied by location, homeowners throughout these neighborhoods should consider inspecting their roof, siding, and gutters for signs of damage.
St. Paul is a large city, and not every neighborhood was affected. But if you live in one of the areas mentioned above, the damage we've seen elsewhere in the storm's path is worth taking seriously.
Buildtec Field Observations
While inspecting areas of Roseville following the storm, our team observed varying hail sizes and storm impacts depending on location. Some neighborhoods appeared to receive only minor hail, while other areas showed signs of more significant damage. This variation is common during severe weather events and highlights the importance of inspecting your home rather than assuming damage based solely on location.
In short: don't assume your home is fine just because your neighbor's house looks fine, and don't assume your home is damaged just because the neighborhood got hit. The only way to know is to look.
What Homeowners Should Look For
Most hail damage isn't obvious from the ground. Here's what to walk your property and look for after a storm like this one.
Damage Signs
Missing, cracked, or curling shingles
Granules collecting in gutters or downspouts
Dents or bruises on shingles
Bent or damaged flashing around vents
Dented gutters and downspouts
Damaged roof vents
Dents, cracks, or impacts on siding
Damaged plants or leaves that appear shredded, torn, or knocked from trees.
Pay close attention to the trees and leaves. Leaves shredded off trees, branches snapped, and plant damage are all classic tell-tale signs that hail came through with real force. If your trees took a beating, there's a good chance your roof and siding did too. Don't get on the roof. Leave it to a professional.
Surrounding Communities Also Experienced Storm Activity
Storm activity was also observed in surrounding communities including Falcon Heights, Arden Hills, Little Canada, Shoreview, and Maplewood. While hail size and intensity varied significantly from neighborhood to neighborhood, homeowners throughout the northeast metro should remain aware of potential storm-related damage.
What to Do Next
Storm restoration follows a process, and the sooner you start, the smoother it goes. Most homeowner insurance policies have deadlines for filing storm claims, so the worst thing you can do is wait.
Step 1: Walk and Document
Grab your phone and walk the perimeter of your home. Snap photos of anything that looks off. Bent gutters, broken branches, leaves shredded on the lawn, granules washing out of the downspouts. Write down the storm date and time while it's fresh. This becomes your starting evidence.
Step 2: Get a Real Inspection
Bring in a roofer for a full exterior check. We climb the roof, look at every plane, and inspect siding, gutters, vents, flashing, and windows while we're at it. You get a written report with photos showing what we found and where. That report is what your insurance carrier is going to ask for.
Step 3: File the claim
This is where we earn our keep. Once the inspection report is done, we help you file with your insurance company. We get the paperwork in order, coordinate with your adjuster, and stand next to you when they come out to walk the roof. You shouldn't have to negotiate with your carrier on your own.
Step 4: Get the Work Done
Claim approved? Now we schedule. Pick your shingle, pick your color, pick your timeline. A good contractor explains the scope before anything starts and walks you through the finished product when it's done. Don't sign a contract until you know exactly what's getting installed and what's covered.
Pick a Contractor Carefully
After every major storm, contractors flood the area. Out-of-state trucks. Names you've never heard. Door-knockers asking for signatures on the spot. Be cautious. Before you sign anything, look up the company, read reviews from real homeowners, ask for their license number, and find out what kind of warranty stands behind the work after they're gone.
