Hail Damage
Assessing a roof after a hail storm might be complicated for many homeowners, but it is extremely important to maintain your roof in excellent condition as to avoid any structural deterioration and roof leaks. Many insurance companies will consider hail damage insurance claims and will pay for a complete roof replacement, if roof hail damage is properly assessed. Most insurance adjusters will require the professional opinion of a local roofing company.
Main signs your roof may have hail damage:
Check any metal roofing vents, metal valleys, and metal flashing for dents. As a softer roofing material, metal will indicate hail damage immediately.
Examine ridge cap for any hail hits. Look closely at shingles, pay attention to the edges as well.
Watch out for any bruises, dents, cracks, or missing asphalt shingle granules (metal roofs will have dents and scratches).
