Hail damage on a roof typically appears as dents or dimples in metal roofing, or as cracked or broken roof shingles. Granules may also be dislodged from asphalt shingles, which can make them appear blotchy or bald. If you suspect hail or storm damage to your roof, it’s important to have a professional roofing contractor take a look as soon as possible.
Damage from hail and its appearance will vary greatly on its size and composition and the materials that it impacts. Knowing what kind of roof you have, its current age and condition, and how strong the storm was will play a key role in knowing what to look for and accurately assessing hail damage. Typical hail damage on an asphalt roof can cause granule loss, bruising that is soft to the touch, and exposed fiberglass matting.
If you have any questions about damage or roof issues after a storm or weather event, contact Peak to Peak Roofing to help diagnose the extent.
In addition to roof damage, here are some other indicators that your property may have been hit by hail:
- •windows are broken or cracked
- •Siding dented or missing
- •trees with broken branches or leaves knocked off
- •car windshields damaged
If you notice any of these signs of storm damage after a hail storm, be sure to contact your insurance company as soon as possible. An insurance provider has a window of time (usually 14 days) after a storm in which you can file a claim.
