What Hail Damage Looks Like
Hail damage to your roof may include:
- Dents or bruising on shingles (may look like dark spots)
- Cracked or fractured shingles
- Missing granules exposing black asphalt underneath
- Dents on metal vents, flashing, or gutters
- Damage to skylights or roof accessories
- Soft spots when walking on roof (for professionals only)
Why Hail Damage Is Often Invisible
Many homeowners are surprised to learn their roof has significant hail damage because it's not visible from the ground. Here's why:
- 1.Hail damage often appears as small dents that blend in with shingle texture
- 2.Granule loss isn't visible from ground level
- 3.Damage may not cause immediate leaks but weakens shingles over time
- 4.Impact bruising underneath shingles isn't visible without close inspection
- 5.Multiple small impacts can compromise roof integrity without obvious signs
This is why a professional inspection after any hailstorm is critical, even if your roof looks fine from the ground.
