Damage Type

Hail Damage

Damage to roofing materials, gutters, skylights, and soft metals caused by hailstones — may or may not result in a claimable loss depending on size and coverage.

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.
