Hail Damage and what to do next.

Roof hail damage is not always obvious, especially when looking up from the ground. Usually hail damage to roof or ridge vents and gutters is easy to spot by looking for dents and dings. Shingle damage shows up as random light or dark spots across the expanse of the roof where the hail has impacted and knocked loose the granules covering the shingle, exposing the asphalt layer.

If you think you’ve got shingle damage from hail, use this checklist as a guide while walking around your house. If you think you’ve got wind damage, see the wind damage checklist: http://esgreenville.com/information/storms/wind-damage/
