Not Sure If That's Real Hail Damage?
Cosmetic granule scuffing and actual functional damage look similar from the ground. Answer a few quick questions below and get a straight read — including when the honest answer is "you're fine."
Most Hail Marks Don't Mean What You Think
That distinction — cosmetic vs. functional — is the difference between something that needs repair and something that's just a mark on the surface. It's genuinely hard to tell apart without a trained eye, which is exactly why so many post-storm inspections lead somewhere they shouldn't.

This won't diagnose anything on its own, but it'll give you an honest read on whether it's worth a closer look.
What We Actually Look For
Beyond what the self-check above can tell you, a real inspection focuses on:
- Bruising — soft spots you can feel, not just see
- Granule loss down to the mat, not just surface scuffing
- Impact marks on soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often the clearest indicator
