Hailstorms are common across Colorado’s Front Range—and unfortunately, so is the damage they leave behind. But while some signs of impact are easy to spot, many go unnoticed until they become expensive problems.
Here’s how to inspect your roof after a storm and what to do next:
1. Check the Ground First
Look for:
- Shingle granules in gutters or downspouts
- Dented gutters or flashing
- Broken window screens or cracked skylights
These signs often indicate your roof took a hit—even if you can’t see damage from below.
2. Spot Signs of Shingle Damage
From the ground (or using a drone or binoculars), look for:
- Dark spots or bruising on shingles
- Missing or curled shingles
- Exposed underlayment
If you’re unsure, schedule a free inspection. Don’t climb the roof yourself—safety first.
3. Monitor for Leaks or Stains
Inside your home, keep an eye out for:
- Water spots on ceilings
- Damp attic insulation
- Mold or mildew smells
These could signal a slow leak already in progress.
