Common questions

How big does hail have to be to damage a roof

Stones around one inch across can mark an asphalt roof, and older or brittle shingles bruise at less than that.

Should I file a claim for hail damage

Get it inspected first. A roofer can tell you whether the damage is likely to meet your deductible before you put a claim on your record.

Does hail damage always mean a full replacement

No. Scattered hits on one slope can be repaired. Whether an insurer pays for one slope or the whole roof depends on the policy and on matching.
