Resource - How do I know if I have hail damage?

Weather in Minnesota can change on a dime. From frigid winters to severe summer thunderstorms, houses in the Twin Cities area go through a lot each year. When hail strikes your home, you may be left wondering: “How do I know if my roof has hail damage?”

Common signs of hail damage to your roof may look like:

• Random damage that takes on no clear pattern
• Black spots or dots
• Granular loss
• Bruised shingles, soft shingles
• Torn or split shingles

We know that it can be tempting to break out the ladder and check things out yourself. Unfortunately, this is never a good idea. Not only is this form of assessment unsafe, but you’re unlikely to be able to accurately determine the condition of your roof.

Ultimately, only a trained professional can confirm hail damage to your roof and analyze its severity.
