Depending on the type of roof on your house, hail damage to your roof can take many different forms.
Black-top shingle or composite shingle: With a few granules, round, dark impact marks may appear.
You might notice exposed felt and the spongy feel of the damaged shingles.
Shingles of wood:
The wood may have dents and splits, which are highlighted by brown or orange spots within the splits.
Metal: Dents may be visible on roof panels, gutters, and vents.
Regularly inspect your roof, especially after a hailstorm.
When hail cracks, splits, or punctures a roof, it causes hail damage.
Hail damage is covered by most homeowners insurance policies up to a certain amount.
If the roof needed work before the hailstorm, it may not be covered.
As soon as you discover hail damage to your roof, notify your insurance company.
