Storm Signal · Hail
What hail leaves behind
before it leaks.
Granule loss, bruising, soft-metal damage, and collateral hits often show up well before a roof actually starts to leak.
Overview
Hail damage is often misread. The most visible signs — dents on gutters or downspouts — are usually the easiest to ignore. The damage that matters is what hail does to the granule layer of shingles, soft metals on the roof, and the components most exposed to impact. Catching this early is what keeps a small problem from becoming a structural one.
What it covers
01
Granule Loss
Shingle granules protect the asphalt mat. Hail strips them — the surface looks the same from the ground, but the lifespan changes.
02
Soft-Metal Impact
Gutters, downspouts, vents, and caps record hail clearly. They're the quickest read on what hit the property.
03
Bruising
Impacts that break the mat under the granule layer don't always show on the surface but compromise the assembly.
04
Collateral Damage
Window screens, siding, soft metals on HVAC equipment — hail damage often extends beyond the roof.
