    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

    Homeowner Tip: If neighbors are getting new roofs after a storm, there's a good chance your roof was affected too.

    Why a Professional Inspection Matters

    Hail damage often requires close inspection to identify. A trained eye can document the damage properly for an insurance claim.
