What Does Hail Damage Look Like?

Hail damage looks like small dents when it hits anything metal, ranging from paint chips to large dents. And it can crack and chip windows on your home. It can even splinter and crack wood trim around your windows and doors. Also, it can also cause damage to your siding leaving cracks and small holes after a storm.

If you suspect you have had a hail storm, you will need to closely inspect around property to be certain. Firstly, look for the obvious, check for cracked or broken windows. On the trim around your windows and doors, check for cracked, splintered, dented, and missing paint. If you find any damage it is likely that you had sizeable hail cause it. The trim may need to be replaced and you may need to contact a windows installation company.

Secondly, if you have a metal roof, gutters, metal awnings, you will want to closely inspect all of these metal components. Be on the lookout for small dents and paint chips. Paint chips on a metal roof and awnings will need to be documented (for potential insurance purposes) and repaired. Leaving them bare will make them susceptible to rust and eventually leaks.

What does hail damage on shingles look like?

Thirdly, most homes have shingle roofs, so you will need to take a close look at the them. Spotting hail damage on a shingle roof is difficult to see from the ground, so you may need to contact a qualified roofer to check for you. And fear not, a good roofer will inspect your roof for free and let you know if there is legitimate hail damage.

Hail damage to your shingles will likely cause roof leaks in the future. Because most of the small damage indentations seem harmless, or because they are tough to spot from the ground, many homeowners are unaware of the damage caused by a previous storm. It won’t be until a roof leak occurs that they will be made aware of a problem. Even then, many never find out they are victims of hail damage.

What Does hail Damage on Siding Look Like?

And don’t forget your siding! Small hairline cracks can be tricky to spot, or the large gaping holes in the siding that are obvious from the ground, are both caused by hail. Be certain to have your siding inspected by siding contractors who are qualified.
