Roof Damage After a Storm — What to Look For

• Dents or bruising on shingles, gutters, and flashing
• Missing, cracked, or lifted shingles
• Granule loss (dark streaks in downspouts or gutters)
• Dented or damaged skylights, vents, and AC units
• Interior water stains on ceilings or walls

Even minor hail damage can compromise your roof's waterproofing. A licensed roofer can identify hidden damage before it leads to leaks or mold.

Will Your Insurance Cover Storm Roof Damage?

Most standard homeowners insurance policies cover roof damage from hail and wind storms. You typically have 1–2 years to file a claim after the storm date (check your policy). A licensed roofing contractor can provide a free inspection and help document the damage for your claim.
