HAIL DAMAGE - WHAT TO LOOK FOR
The insurance adjuster from your insurance company may downplay hail damage repair even if you took pictures and video of the hail. We suggest you have one of our project managers verify the hail damage with you so you understand firsthand the long term effects of the damages. Below are some of the items we will document during our inspection.
- Roof Damage – Hail stones will dent soft metals. Hail can be driven by wind causing wind damage at the same time. You may notice lifted shingles and/or missing shingles. Hail will damage asphalt roofing shingles and leave impact marks or bruised shingles. This will ultimately lead to roof leaks if not addressed. Another sign of Hail Damage is excessive loss of granules that can be found in the gutters and downspouts. You may also take not of damage to gutters and gutter guards.
- Exterior Damage – Hail stones can cause stucco, paint and other coating to chip. Hail will cause aluminum siding, gutters, metal roofing and other similar material to dent. It is not uncommon to find vinyl broken after a hail storm. Our project managers will do a perimeter inspection of your home documenting your loss.
IDENTIFYING HAIL DAMAGE TO ROOFING SHINGLES
Hail damage to asphalt roofing isn’t always obvious, hail damage claims are often hard to see due to the appearance of hail impacts on roofing systems. Hail impacts are nearly imperceptible and hail damage claims may be denied or dismissed by the insurance adjuster.
Experienced or certified insurance adjusters know that a thorough hail inspection will often lead to loose granules which compromise the integrity of the roofing shingles. Roof damage from hail ultimately becomes obvious showing impact marks through the mat of the shingle. This may take a few years and by then too much time has passed for a hail damage claim.
Fortunately, our project managers and property damage appraisers utilize the newest roof and weather technology to document these types of hail damage roof claims. If your home or business was hit by damaging hail, you owe it to yourself to get a professional second opinion.

- Roof Damage – Wind is likely to leave behind a path of missing shingles. However, the damaged asphalt shingles that are not missing may be a bigger concern down the road. The wind may have tore shingles, compensated its ability to stick, and/or even loosened your shingles from the nail. The long term effects may include slopes that slide over time and shingles that blow off during minor wind storms. You may notice lifted shingles and/or missing shingles. This will ultimately lead to roof leaks if not addressed.
- Exterior Damage – It is reasonably likely that trees and branches fall during wind storms. This can create damages to the exterior and interior of your home. You may find damage to aluminum siding, gutters, metal roofing, vinyl siding, and asphalt roofing. Our project managers will do a perimeter inspection of your home documenting and helping you identify your loss.
