Hail damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Even when a roof isn't leaking, hail can damage shingles, tiles, metal panels, flashing, vents, and other roofing components.

Some signs to look for include:
    
    • Missing or loose shingle granules
    
    • Bruised or cracked shingles
    
    • Circular impact marks
    
    • Cracked or damaged tiles
    
    • Dented metal components
    
    • Damaged vents or flashing
    
    • New water stains inside the home
    
It's best not to climb onto the roof yourself after a storm. A professional roofing contractor can inspect the roof and determine whether repairs are necessary.
