After a major hail storm hits, one of the most common practices is to inspect your property to see if there is any hail damage. An important area to look is also on the roofs, here are some tips and what to do after a hail storm.

-Get a professional hail assessment of your roof: while there is a possibility that any hail damage to the roof can be visibility seen from the ground, you are more likely to know if your shingles are damaged by close inspection. Make sure that it is inspected for hail damage and wind damage by a licensed inspector so that there is less chance of an error.

-Be familiar with the signs of roof damage:
Missing shingles
Bruises or dented asphalt shingles
Cracked or broken tile, slate, or concrete shingles
Granules collecting in gutters or downspouts
Leaks in your roof or ceiling
