HAIL AND WIND DAMAGE

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS?

If you live in the southeast region of the country, chances are your roof will be struck by hail. This does not mean that your roof will be damaged by hail. Shingles are designed to handle moderate hail hits. Severe hail hits may cause functional damage to roofing materials as they impact the water-shedding capability of your roof. Functional damage to a composite shingle occurs when the shingle is fractured. The fracture can be verified by observing the bottom side of the shingle. Granular loss alone is not functional damage.
 

Listed below are examples of hail damaged shingles.
