What Hail Actually Looks Like

And Why It's Best To Get A Professional Inspection

Experience Our Expertise

    Hail damage on a roof can appear as dark spots, bruises, or dents on shingles, often hard to distinguish from regular wear. Granule loss, cracked tiles, or soft spots may also indicate hidden issues. On siding, hail might leave small cracks, chips, or pockmarks. While some signs are obvious, others are subtle and easy to miss. A trained professional knows what to look for and can accurately assess the extent of damage. Getting a qualified inspection ensures nothing is overlooked and helps you take the right steps with insurance or repairs before small issues become big problems.

    How wind damage may appear

     Wind damage doesn’t always mean missing shingles. Sometimes, shingles lift and bend, leaving behind a barely visible crease that weakens the material. It’s easy to miss without a trained eye. Having a professional inspection ensures wind creasing is identified before it causes bigger issues down the line.

     If you notice missing shingles or tabs, there could be more damage than meets the eye. Gaps can lead to leaks and structural issues. A certified inspector can assess whether the damage is isolated or widespread—key information that might qualify your roof for insurance coverage or even full replacement.

    Impacts From Debris

     Falling branches or flying debris can leave small dents, cracks, or punctures in shingles. These signs of impact may be subtle and easy to overlook. A professional inspection can uncover hidden damage, assess its severity, and determine if your roof qualifies for a full replacement through your insurance policy.
