How to Identify Roof Hail Damage & What To Do About It
Short Answer: Roof hail damage shows up as round dents, dark bruises, cracked shingles, and missing granules on asphalt shingles. On metal roofs, damage may appear as visible dings, scratches, or chipped protective coating, while composite shingles often show cracks, surface bruising, or chipped edges. After a hail event, inspect your property from the ground, document any visible damage, contact your insurance company, and schedule a professional roof inspection before filing a hail damage claim or starting repairs.
