Wind damage: Evidence of wind damage is the easiest to spot. You may notice that your shingles are “lifting”, “folding-up”, or are missing completely. Since straight-line wind usually only travels in one direction, you will probably notice on certain sides of your home where the damages are much worse. These are the sides that directly faced the incoming wind. If this is happening, you can almost guarantee that the other sides will show the same result if and when the high wind hits them, as well. Hail Damage: Evidence of hail damage on the roof is very difficult to spot from the ground. You may see evidence of hail damage to gutter downspouts, siding, AC units, or other external features of the home. However, the only way to know if the hail damage is significant enough to require repair or replacement is to have a professional inspect your roof.
