Why Is Hail Damage Easy to Miss?
Hail damage is easy to miss because hail bruises a shingle rather than punching through it. The stone knocks the protective granules loose and crushes the mat underneath, leaving a soft spot that looks like nothing from the ground. The roof keeps shedding water for a while and then fails years early, often after the insurance claim window has closed.
When Should You Get a Roof Checked for Hail?
A roof should be checked for hail damage after any hailstorm in your area, even one that seemed minor. Hail that dents a car bonnet or strips leaves is more than enough to bruise shingles. Policies have time limits on storm claims, so a prompt inspection protects your options.
- After any hail, including small stones
- If neighbors are having roofs inspected
- Before your policy's claim window closes
What Does Hail Damage Look Like on a Roof?
Hail damage on a roof shows as random bruising with no pattern, granules stripped in circles, soft spots you can feel underfoot, and dents on soft metals like vents and flashing. Those metal dents are useful because they confirm hail hit the roof even when the shingles look intact.
- Random bruises with no directional pattern
- Circular patches of missing granules
- Dents on vents, flashing and gutters
How Do You Document Hail Damage for Insurance?
Documenting hail damage for insurance turns on evidence. We mark and photograph strike points across test areas of each slope, and record the soft metal damage that proves impact. We present it in the form adjusters expect, then meet yours on the roof to walk through it.
- Test areas on each slopeMarked and counted, which is how an adjuster assesses a hail claim.
- Photograph the soft metalsDented vents and flashing confirm the roof was struck.
- Compile the evidencePresented the way an adjuster expects to receive it.
