A nasty storm just blew through town and dropped some serious hail. You’re ok, but your house took a beating! Now you’re left to wonder, “What does hail damage look like”? We spoke with one of our factory-certified roofers and got some tips for homeowners like you.
What does hail damage look like on my roof?
The most obvious place to look for hail damage is going to be on your roof. After all, hail comes down from the sky and your roof bears the brunt of its impact. Our friends at AGR Roofing and Construction in Omaha have a lot of experience with hail, and have written a really good piece about the key signs of roof hail damage.
Before you run out to the garage and grab your ladder, we’d like to say that this is best left to the pros. One false step on a roof can be disastrous. That’s why our roofers wear safety gear like harnesses and ropes while they are working. Inspections are free. Don’t risk it.
Looking for hail damage on your roof can be dangerous and we urge you to call a professional inspector.
Having said that, here is what our inspectors are looking for when they inspect a roof for hail damage.
Broken Shingles
If you’re wondering what does hail damage look like on my roof, this is a pretty obvious one. It doesn’t matter if you have asphalt shingles, slate, You may even be able to spot the damage from the ground and save yourself the hassle and danger of climbing up onto the roof. If you see one broken shingle there are probably hundreds of less obvious damage points that our factory certified project managers will be able to find during a free roof inspection, tile, or any other material – giant balls of ice falling from thousands of feet up in the sky can and will break shingles!
