What to look for after a hail storm.
From the ground, you can spot most of these. Shingle damage usually requires a roof-level inspection — that's where we come in.
Granule loss in your gutters
Heavy granules in downspouts after a storm = shingle mat exposure on the roof.
Dented gutters & downspouts
Soft aluminum surfaces dent first. Visible from the ground — a clear indicator.
Hail strikes on AC fins
Carriers recognize this as proof of hail size. Look for fin bending on the condenser unit.
Bruised, fractured shingles
Round dark spots on shingles where granules were knocked off. Usually only visible roof-side.
Damaged roof vents & flashing
Plastic vents crack on impact. Metal flashing and pipe boots dent or dimple.
Cracks on skylights
Tempered glass shows hairline cracks. Often missed by homeowners.
How big does hail need to be to file a claim?
- ¾-inch (penny): Usually doesn't damage modern shingles. Inspect, but rarely files.
- 1-inch (quarter): Damage threshold for most shingles. File and get scoped.
- 1.25-inch (half-dollar): Almost always causes claim-worthy damage. File.
- 1.5-inch+ (golf ball): Likely full replacement.
We pull NWS storm-event data for your address to confirm hail size before inspecting.
Hail damage questions homeowners ask.
Answers to questions Ohio homeowners ask before scheduling an inspection.
How big does hail need to be to damage a roof?+
1-inch hail (quarter-sized) can damage asphalt shingles. 1.25-inch and up almost always causes damage worth documenting.
What does hail damage look like on shingles?+
Round dark spots where granules have been knocked off, exposing the asphalt mat underneath. From the ground you generally cannot see it — granule accumulation in your gutters is the tell.
Can hail damage be repaired instead of replaced?+
It depends on how widespread the bruising is. Damage concentrated on one or two exposed slopes is repairable; hail that has struck every elevation hard enough to fracture mats generally is not.
How long do I have to file a hail damage claim?+
Most Ohio carriers require claims within 12 months of the storm. The earlier you file, the cleaner the claim.

Not filing a claim? Most repairs cost less than the deductible.
Plenty of damage does not qualify for a claim, and plenty of homeowners would rather not file. Either way you get the same free inspection and the same written repair price.
