After a hailstorm, a roof can look normal from the yard while shingles above have been bruised, cracked, or stripped of granules. A hail damage roof inspection looks for those impacts directly.
Knowing what happened is useful whether or not you decide to contact your insurer. It tells you whether the roof needs attention.
Clues hail may have hit your roof
- Dents on gutters, downspouts, or metal vents
- Dings on outdoor furniture, mailboxes, or car hoods
- Granules piling up at downspout outlets after the storm
- Neighbors reporting roof or siding damage

Hail damage versus normal wear
Hail impacts are usually random and concentrated on slopes facing the storm. Normal wear tends to be more even. Telling them apart takes a close look rather than a guess.
Some roofs show general aging but no hail damage. Knowing which you have helps you plan.
