What Is Hail Damage?
Hail damage to a roof can affect shingles (spatter marks, granule loss, bruising), soft metals (gutters, vents, flashing), skylights, and siding. Not all hail events cause claimable damage — the hailstone must be large enough to damage the roofing material, and repair costs must exceed the deductible for a claim to make financial sense. A professional roof inspection after any hail event is the first step to understanding whether a claim is warranted.
