On Shingle Roofs
Hail damage on shingles often shows as random dark spots where granules have been knocked loose, exposing the underlying mat — easy to miss from the ground but visible up close.
On Tile Roofs
Hail can crack or chip concrete or clay tiles, sometimes without an obvious visible break until water intrusion reveals the damage later.
On Metal Roofs
Dents and dings from hail are usually cosmetic on metal roofing, but should still be inspected for any compromised seams or fasteners.
Why A Professional Inspection Matters
Hail damage is frequently missed or underestimated from a ground-level look — a close, in-person inspection is the only reliable way to document the full extent for an insurance claim.
