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.
