Quick Answer: How Do I Know If My Roof Has Hail Damage?
Hail damage is often invisible from the ground. The most common signs of hail damage on a roof are:
- •Dents or dimples on shingles, gutters, downspouts, or roof vents
- •Granule loss exposing the black asphalt mat underneath
- •Cracked or bruised shingles that feel soft or spongy underfoot
- •Damaged ridge caps along the peaks of your roof
- •Dings on siding, window frames, or A/C units at ground level

Hail Damage vs. Wind Damage vs. Storm Damage
Different types of storm damage look and behave differently on your roof. Here's how to tell them apart and what your insurance is likely to cover.
| Damage Type | What It Looks Like | Most Affected Components | Typical Insurance Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hail Damage | Round dents, bruises, granule loss, exposed asphalt mat | Shingles, gutters, vents, flashing, A/C fins | Usually covered as a weather peril |
| Wind Damage | Lifted, creased, torn, or missing shingles; broken seal strips | Shingles, ridge caps, fascia, soffit | Usually covered as a weather peril |
| Storm Damage (general) | Combination of hail, wind, fallen tree limbs, and debris impact | Entire roofing system, gutters, siding | Covered when caused by a sudden, named event |
| Wear & Tear | Curling, cracking from age; uniform granule loss; moss growth | Aging shingles, deteriorating sealants | Generally not covered |
Coverage depends on the policy, cause of loss, exclusions, deductible, and the carrier's review. We can document roof damage and coordinate with the homeowner and adjuster, but the insurance carrier decides coverage, scope, and payment.

Signs of Hail Damage on Your Roof
Hail damage is often invisible from the ground, which is why a professional inspection is critical after any hailstorm. Our inspectors are trained to identify damage that untrained eyes miss.
Granule Loss
Dark spots or bare patches on shingles where protective granules have been knocked away by hail impact, exposing the underlying asphalt.
Bruised or Cracked Shingles
Soft spots that feel spongy underfoot, or visible cracks and splits in the shingle surface from hail strikes.
Dented Metal Components
Visible dents on gutters, downspouts, roof vents, flashing, and metal trim caused by hailstones.
Damaged Ridge Caps
Cracked or split ridge cap shingles along the peaks of your roof — a common area for hail impact.
Compromised Seal Strips
Broken adhesive seal strips between shingle layers, which can lead to wind-driven rain infiltration.
Hail Damage Insurance Claims
Coverage depends on the policy, cause of loss, exclusions, deductible, and the carrier's review. We can document roof damage and coordinate with the homeowner and adjuster, but the insurance carrier decides coverage, scope, and payment.
After our free inspection, we provide you with detailed documentation — including high-resolution photographs and a written damage report — that strengthens your insurance claim. We then meet with your adjuster during their inspection, walk the roof together, and ensure every area of damage is accounted for.
If work is approved, we schedule it around crew and material availability. Full roof replacements include a written Mr. Roofer workmanship warranty. Manufacturer material coverage is separate and subject to the selected product's written terms. Ask for the project-specific term, coverage, and exclusions.
Need metal roofing? We install corrugated and standing seam metal panels fabricated on-site with our own roll form machine. Selected metal roofing systems may include manufacturer warranty coverage. The exact term and coverage depend on the panel, coating, and application; review the written product warranty for your project.

How do I know if my roof has hail damage?

How soon after a hailstorm should I get my roof inspected?

What does hail damage look like on different roofing materials?
On asphalt shingles, hail creates dark spots, bruises, or exposed fiberglass mat where granules have been knocked off. On metal roofing, hail leaves visible dents and dings. On gutters and flashing, you'll see dents and deformation. Our inspectors are trained to identify hail damage on all roofing materials.
How much does it cost to repair hail damage on a roof?
The deductible and any other out-of-pocket costs depend on the policy and the carrier-approved scope. We do not promise claim approval, coverage, or payment. Pricing depends on roof size, pitch, materials, tear-off layers, decking repairs, and access. We inspect the property and provide a written, itemized estimate; newly discovered work is discussed before proceeding.
