Hail damage can be hard to detect to an untrained eye. From the ground some substantial hail damage can remain hidden. Your roof should be inspected from close up, ideally by a trained roof contractor. Inspecting your gutters for evidence of shingle damage along with a close inspection of your flashing are important steps.

Waiting to assess hail damage can cost you more money. The longer the time between the hail storm and reporting the damage the more difficult it may be to prove the storm caused your damage. In addition undetected storm damage can lead to water damage compiling your damage costs.
