Why Hail Damage Is Sneaky
Hail damage isn't always obvious. A roof can look fine from the ground while shingles have been bruised in ways that shorten their life and open the door to leaks. That's why a professional inspection after a significant hailstorm is so valuable — and why acting quickly matters for both your roof and any insurance claim.
Signs of Hail Damage
- Bruised or dented shingles — soft spots where hail struck, sometimes with granules knocked away
- Granules in gutters and downspouts — a common sign of impact
- Dented metal — check flashing, vents, and gutters, which show hail impact clearly
- Cracked or split shingles — from larger hail
- Damage to other surfaces — dented gutters, screens, or AC fins hint the roof was hit too
