You’ve probably heard it before—“I’ll take care of that in the off-season.” But in the restoration industry, does an off-season even exist?

In this episode of HailChatter, we break down the data and industry trends to uncover the reality of hailstorms throughout the year. Some regions see hail year-round, while others have a defined season—but even then, unexpected storms can throw a wrench in your plans.

We’ll cover:
📊 What the data says about when and where hailstorms happen
🌪️ Why certain cities—like Dallas and Atlanta—see more storms outside of peak season
🏠 How contractors can leverage past storms to stay busy all year long

Whether you're slammed with jobs in peak season or looking for ways to keep momentum going when things slow down, this episode will help you rethink how to maximize every season.
