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.
