There are four main factors that affect the intensity of the property damage, namely:
Factor #1: Wind. Winds can change directions and speed erratically. This can greatly affect the outcome of a hailstorm because it can bring the hailstones along with each gust.
Factor #2: Size and Density. Naturally, the bigger the hail stone, the bigger the damage. Small and pea-like stones can still do a lot of damage. Moreover, the typical type of hailstone does not have smooth edges to it. Because of its jagged sides, they have the potential to cause further damage.
Factor #3: Building Material of Your Property. Different types of building materials absorb the impact of hail differently. For instance, vinyl can crack once hit with a hailstone, while aluminum on the other hand tends to just make a dent. Moreover, older structures are naturally more susceptible to damage compared to newly built properties.
Factor #4: The environment. If your private property is positioned in a way wherein neighboring structures or your landscape offer some protection, then it reduces the chances of a hail storm causing too much damage.
