Signs worth documenting
Hail can damage shingles, soft metal vents, gutters, ridge caps, and flashing. Photos and notes help establish what was visible at inspection.
Why a full roof check matters
Hail does not always hit evenly. A full inspection should check slopes, penetrations, ridge, valleys, and surrounding exterior evidence.
Next steps after inspection
The written recommendation should separate immediate leak control, repair options, and replacement considerations.
