Storm and Hail Damage Explained

What hail, wind and falling limbs do to shingles, metal, flashing, gutters and siding, and how damage is found and documented.

Hail bruises shingles, knocks off granules, dents soft metals and can crack tile and vents. Wind lifts and creases shingles, tears off ridge caps and flips edges. Falling limbs puncture roofs, siding and gutters. The damage is not always visible from the ground, and it may not leak right away. Over time, bruised or lifted shingles age faster and fail sooner.

Finding storm damage takes a close look at the roof, gutters, vents, siding and soft metals, plus the attic. Photographs and notes create a record. In Nashville, storm seasons can bring several events a year. We explain what we see in plain language, separate storm damage from wear and give you documentation you can share with your insurer if you choose to file a claim. Your policy and insurer decide coverage.
