What are the signs of hail damage to a roof?

Common signs include dented or missing shingles, exposed roofing material, damaged flashing, granules collecting in gutters and dents on vents or downspouts. Some hail damage is difficult to see from the ground, so a professional inspection is recommended.

How soon should I schedule an inspection after a hailstorm?

Schedule an inspection as soon as it is safe to do so. Identifying damage early can help prevent leaks and additional problems. It also gives you documentation if you decide to contact your insurance company.

Will homeowners insurance cover hail damage?

Many homeowners insurance policies cover sudden hail damage, but coverage depends on your policy, deductible and the condition of the roof. Storm Pro can document visible damage and provide the information needed when speaking with your insurance company.

Can hail damage be repaired, or will I need a new roof?

It depends on the location and extent of the damage, along with the roof’s age and overall condition. Isolated damage may be repairable, while widespread damage may require roof replacement. We will inspect the roof and clearly explain your options.

Do you inspect siding and gutters for hail damage too?

Yes. Hail can damage siding, gutters, downspouts, vents and other exterior surfaces. Our inspection covers the roof and other accessible exterior areas so you receive a more complete picture of your property’s condition.

Signs Your Roof May Have Hail Damage

Hail can damage a roofing system without causing an immediate leak. Some problems develop gradually after the storm, making a professional inspection valuable even when everything appears normal from the ground.

Possible signs of hail damage include:

Missing or loosened shingle granules
Dark, soft or bruised areas on shingles
Cracked or fractured roofing materials
Dents in gutters, vents or flashing
Damaged siding, trim or window screens
New roof leaks or ceiling stains

Damage to gutters, siding and other exterior surfaces can indicate that the roof received a significant impact during the same storm.

Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself after severe weather. Roofing surfaces can be slippery, unstable or weakened. Storm Pro can safely examine the property and provide photographs of any visible damage.

What Happens During a Storm Pro Inspection?

Storm Pro conducts a detailed roof and exterior inspection to determine whether hail, wind or another weather event has affected your property.

1. Inspect the Property

We examine the roof, shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, downspouts, siding and other exterior components for visible storm damage.

2. Document the Damage

Our team photographs affected areas and records the visible damage found during the inspection.

3. Explain What We Found

We review the findings with you and explain whether the damage appears isolated or affects a larger portion of the roofing system.

4. Recommend the Next Step

We explain whether repair or replacement may be appropriate and answer your questions before any work begins.

If your property does not show meaningful storm damage, we will tell you. If damage is present, you will receive a clear explanation of your options without unnecessary pressure.

Does Your Roof Need Repair or Replacement?

Not every hail-damaged roof needs to be replaced. The right solution depends on the roof’s age, materials, overall condition and the extent of the damage.

Roof Repair

A localized repair may be appropriate when the damage is limited to a small area and the surrounding roofing system remains in good condition.

Repair may be possible when:

Only a few shingles are affected
Damage is limited to one area
The roof is otherwise in good condition
There are no widespread leaks or structural concerns

Roof Replacement

Replacement may be the more practical long-term solution when the damage affects a larger portion of the roofing system.

Replacement may be recommended when:

Damage extends across multiple roof slopes
Shingles have widespread bruising or granule loss
The roof has recurring leaks
Roofing materials are cracked or deteriorated
The roof is approaching the end of its useful life

Storm Pro will inspect the roofing system and recommend the most practical option based on its condition.
