Hail is what ends most roofs in Omaha metro before they ever wear out, and the damage rarely shows from the ground.
At a glance
- Hail damage looks like bruises and missing granules, not holes.
- You usually cannot see it from the ground, so a ladder is the only honest check.
- Your policy sets a deadline for reporting a storm, and it is shorter than people think.
- Get the roof looked at before you sign anything with somebody who knocked on your door.

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.
