What hail this size does to a roof
Quarter size hail is the size most often behind roof damage claims. It can bruise shingles and dent soft metals, especially on roofs more than a few years old. That was 88 days ago. Most policies require prompt notice of a loss, so if you suspect damage, get the roof inspected now and use July 17, 2026 as the date of loss only if this is the storm that hit your home.
