Question 4

What does a roof look like after hail damage near Greenville?

Accepted Answer

A roof that has been damaged by hail will typically have large dents in the shingles and could even have some of the shingles missing. There may also be damage to the underlying roof decking and sheathing. If there is any water infiltration, you will likely see water stains on the ceilings inside your home.

Question 5

How do you tell if your shingles have hail damage?

Accepted Answer

If you have shingles, it’s important to know how to tell if they have hail damage. Here are some things to look for:

Damage to the granules on the surface of the shingle. Hail can knock these off, leaving the shingle looking bald in spots.
Bruising or indentations on the shingle. This indicates that the hailstone was large enough to actually dent the shingle.
Tears or cracks in the shingle material. This type of damage is usually only caused by very large hailstones.

If you suspect that your shingles have been damaged by hail, it’s important to contact a roofing professional as soon as possible for an inspection and repair estimate.
