How to Tell if Your Roof Has Storm Damage

After a storm, the damage to your roof isn't always visible from the ground. But there are clues—both on the roof and around your property—that indicate it's time for a closer look.

Signs on the Roof

• Missing or lifted shingles
• Dented gutters or downspouts
• Bruised or dark spots on shingles
• Cracked or broken vents and flashing

Signs Around the Property

• Dents on metal surfaces like mailbox or AC unit
• Shingle granules piled at downspouts
• Damaged siding or outdoor furniture
• Fallen branches on or near the roof
