How to Tell if Your Roof Has Hail Damage
After a major storm, many homeowners across Joplin, Webb City, Carthage, Neosho, and Northwest Arkansas ask the same question: Did hail damage my roof?
Hail damage isn't always obvious from the ground. In many cases the damage slowly leads to leaks, granule loss, and premature roof failure months later.

Signs of Hail Damage on Asphalt Shingles
Hail damage often appears as small impact points where protective granules have been knocked off. These areas weaken shingles and expose the asphalt layer beneath.
- Dark circular spots where granules are missing
- Soft bruised areas on shingles
- Cracked shingles
- Dents in vents, flashing, or gutters
- Granules accumulating in downspouts
Should You File an Insurance Claim?
Not every roof requires a claim. However, widespread hail damage is often covered by insurance depending on your policy and deductible.
