What hail damage can look like
Hail damage is not always obvious from the ground. It can show up as bruised shingles, granule loss, cracked matting, dented vents, damaged gutters, marked downspouts, chipped paint, and impacts on soft metals. Wind may also lift shingles or expose fasteners.
After a storm, photos and notes matter. We inspect the roof and exterior details so the homeowner has a clearer picture before deciding whether to file a claim or request repairs.
What to do after a hail storm
- Walk the property from the ground and look for obvious damage.
- Do not climb on a wet or storm-damaged roof.
- Schedule an inspection if neighbors are getting damage reports or you see dents, missing shingles, or leaks.
- Keep storm dates, photos, and repair notes organized.
Hail damage FAQs
Do I need a leak before calling?
No. Hail damage can reduce roof life before a leak appears. An inspection helps catch issues early.
Can you meet the insurance adjuster?
When appropriate, we can be on site with documentation while the adjuster reviews the property.
What if the roof is fine?
Then you have peace of mind. Not every storm means replacement, and we will tell you what we see.
