Identifying Hail Damage on Your Colorado Roof
After a Colorado hailstorm, your roof may have sustained damage that is not visible from the ground. Here are the key signs to look for and when to call a professional.
Signs of Hail Damage
- Dented or bruised shingles — Look for dark spots or indentations on your shingles
- Missing granules — Check your gutters for excessive granule accumulation
- Cracked shingles — Hail impact can crack shingles, exposing the underlayment
- Dented vents and flashing — Metal components show hail damage clearly
- Damaged gutters and downspouts — Dents and dings along gutter runs
