Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground
Missing shingles are easy to spot, but hail marks, lifted shingles, bruising, and flashing movement may require a closer inspection.
Common warning signs
Look for loose shingles, granules in gutters, new ceiling stains, dented soft metals, damaged vents, and debris impact marks.
Documentation matters
Photo documentation helps you understand what happened and gives you a clearer record if insurance support is needed.
