Most hail damage from an event like June 19th isn't visible from the ground. Our inspectors know exactly what quarter-size hail does to each part of your exterior — and what insurance adjusters need to see to approve your claim.
Quarter-size hail leaves circular bruises and knocks granules loose from asphalt shingles, exposing the fiberglass mat beneath. These impact marks are often the same color as the shingle — invisible from the street but clearly visible on inspection. Granule loss accelerates UV degradation and shortens your roof's lifespan significantly.
Heavy granule accumulation in gutters and downspouts after a hail event is one of the clearest indicators of shingle damage — and one of the strongest pieces of evidence to support your insurance claim. If you see gritty, sand-like material in your gutters after June 19th, call us.
Metal gutters and fascia are reliable hail indicators — quarter-size hail leaves visible dents along the top edge and face. These dents document hail size and impact force, which is exactly the evidence adjusters look for when evaluating your claim.
Roof vents, pipe boots, and metal flashing are prime targets for hail impact. Quarter-size hail frequently cracks or dents these surfaces, compromising their seal. These entry points are a common source of leaks that homeowners don't discover until water gets inside.
Vinyl siding cracks or chips on direct hail impact. Quarter-size hail is large enough to leave visible holes or stress fractures. We inspect your full exterior — not just the roof — because siding damage from June 19th is covered under the same claim.
Water stains on ceilings or walls after a hail storm signal that damage has already allowed water in. By the time interior signs appear, exterior hail damage is often already significant and warrants prompt attention.
The wind component of June 19th can lift, crack, or tear shingles — especially at corners and ridge lines. Lifted shingles allow water intrusion immediately and are often not obvious until rain gets in through the exposed area.
AC condenser fins, satellite dishes, and other exterior fixtures dent easily under quarter-size hail. Visible dents on your AC unit are a strong supporting indicator for your insurance claim — document them before anything is repaired.
