Signs of Hail Damage
Most hail damage is invisible from the ground. Look for these warning signs after a storm — or call us for a free professional inspection.
Dented or Bruised Shingles
Hail impacts leave soft, bruised spots on shingles that compromise the protective granule layer and accelerate aging.
Granule Loss Exposing Asphalt
Hail strips the protective granules from shingles, exposing the dark asphalt layer underneath. Check your gutters for granule accumulation.
Cracked or Split Shingles
Large hail can crack shingles on impact, creating entry points for water that lead to leaks and structural damage.
Dented Vents, Flashing, or Gutters
Soft metal components like roof vents, flashing, and gutters show hail damage first. Dents here mean your shingles were hit too.
Damaged Window Screens or Siding
Hail that damages window screens and siding has almost certainly damaged your roof as well. Look for dents, cracks, and punctures.
Soft Spots When Walking on Roof
Areas that feel spongy or soft underfoot indicate the shingle mat has been compromised by hail impact, even if surface damage isn't visible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Look for dents on soft metals like roof vents, gutters, and flashing. On shingles, look for dark spots where granules have been knocked loose. Most hail damage is not visible from the ground — we provide free professional inspections to assess the full extent of impact damage.
How long after a hailstorm should I file a claim?
Most insurance policies require filing within 1 year of the storm event, but we recommend filing within 30 days for best results. The sooner you file, the easier it is to document the damage and connect it to a specific storm.
Can I get impact-resistant shingles?
Yes. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are the highest-rated option available. In Colorado, upgrading to IR shingles can earn you up to 28% off your homeowner's insurance premium — a significant long-term savings.
Will upgrading to impact-resistant shingles save money?
Yes. The insurance premium discount you receive for Class 4 IR shingles in Colorado typically pays for the cost of the upgrade within 3-5 years. After that, you continue saving year after year while enjoying superior hail protection.
