5 Signs Your Roof Has Hail Damage (And What to Do Next)

When a hailstorm rolls through, your roof takes the hit—literally. The problem is, hail damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Even small impacts can compromise your roof's ability to protect your home.

Here are 5 key signs your roof may have hail damage:

1. Granule Loss on Shingles

Hail impact knocks granules off asphalt shingles, exposing the surface underneath. This weakens the shingle and reduces lifespan.

2. Dented Gutters or Downspouts

Check your gutters—if they’re dented, chances are your roof took damage too.

3. Cracked or Bruised Shingles

Bruising can feel soft to the touch. Cracks may lead to water leaks during the next storm.

4. Missing or Loose Shingles

High winds often follow hailstorms, loosening shingles or pulling them off entirely.

5. Water Spots or Leaks Indoors

A leak inside often starts with damage outside. Look for spots on ceilings or damp areas in your attic.
