Identifying hail damage on your roof is a little more complicated than recognizing damage to your vehicle or patio. It is important that you take proper steps to identify hail damage to your roof as keeping your roof in top condition helps to avoid structural deterioration and leaks. Having a roofing professional assess your roof’s condition after a hail storm is important but you can also check for hail damage yourself with a few simple steps.

Look for Metal Damage

Check any metal roof vents, metal valleys or flashing for dents. Most metals (especially soft metal) will show dents and can also indicate the size of the hail.

Check the Ridge Caps and Shingles

Use a ladder to examine the top of your roof. Check the ridge caps for dents from hail. This area is most susceptible to hail damage since it is flat and often takes a big hit during storms.

Also check the shingles, looking at the whole shingle, including the edges. Shingles can show signs of hail damage too. Look or random patterns of damage. If your asphalt shingles appear to be shiny, there may be damage. If there are hits to your shingles that appear black in color, you may also have hail damage. Exposed granules and hail hits that are soft to the touch are also signs that you need to contact your roofing professional for help.

Assess the Type of Roof Damage

Hail damage is identified by three major signs, including cracking, bruising and missing granules from asphalt shingles. If you see cracking in the shingles, including circular cracks, you may have hail damage. Another sign pointing to hail damage is bruising on the shingles, which are not always visible. Run your hand across the shingle to feel for any small dimples. Missing pieces in the shingle are also major signs of hail damage.

The professional roofing contractors at Rydell Roofing & Construction performed a storm damage roof replacement project in Midland, TX last year that we wanted to highlight now that our new website is live!

A hail storm had blown through the area and damaged the homeowner’s roof. The roof began leaking so he decided to make an appointment right away with a local roofing contractor. He found our company and called us to schedule a roofing consultation.

We arrived to the appointment on a Tuesday morning. The homeowner requested that we provide local references and also wanted to know more about our process. Rydell Roofing & Construction has been a local roofer in Midland, TX since 1971, so we had numerous references for him.

We also informed him and his wife of our top-quality roofing process and numerous certifications. We begin roofing projects by setting up an appropriate number of dumpsters around the perimeter of the roof so we could properly strip all of the old asphalt shingles from the roof. If the existing underdecking is intact, we then lay down high-quality synthetic felt with a heavy duty valley membrane. We pay special attention to detail, including one detail that many Midland roofers overlook, which is that we take time to install all new pipe flashings. Another major differentiator that sets Rydell Roofing & Construction apart from the rest is the quality of our staffing. All of our crews are certified master craftsmen, meaning they have passed through rigorous training for all of our available roofing systems.

He loved how much information we had for him and hired us right away. He put us in touch with his insurance agent and we helped with the insurance claims process. We were then able to get the roof replaced per our quality roofing process by the end of the next week.

The new roof turned out great and the homeowners are thrilled with it!

They asked us to look at their roof that was majorly impacted by the storm.

Since we were in the area, we were able to get them an estimate right away. One of their biggest concerns was dealing with their insurance company, to ensure their claim was approved. We happily help our customers navigate the storm damage insurance claims process, so we were able to help him navigate the process.

We were able to start on his roof right away and we had shingles in stock that closely matched the existing asphalt shingles on his roof in both cover and style. Our crew knocked out the new roof installation job within three days, from removal of the existing roof to installation of the new one!
