What hail impacts look like on shingles, vents and gutters—and when to call for an inspection.
After a storm, start on the ground. Look for dents in gutters, downspouts and window screens; dings on soft metals are the easiest evidence to spot.
On shingles, hail leaves dark circular marks where granules were knocked off, sometimes with a soft, bruised feel. Ridge caps take the most direct hits.
Do not climb onto a wet or steep roof yourself. Take photos from the ground and schedule a professional inspection.
