If it has stormed recently, it’s probably a good idea to have a roof inspection. A close check of the roof shingles is important to identify any potential damage to the roof.
Roofing Advice
“You won’t be able to tell if your roof has been damaged just by looking at it from the ground. Call your insurance company and ask for an adjuster to inspect your roof for hail or wind damage”.

A close check of the roof shingles can identify potential damage that may have occurred. It’s not always possible to see if your roof has been damaged just by looking at it from the ground. You can call your insurance company and ask for an adjuster to inspect your roof for hail or wind damage. Alternatively, you can contact JC&C, a professional roofing company, for a free roof inspection.
A hail hit on a shingle may appear as a dark spot or bruise where granules have been knocked off. This can expose the asphalt underlayment, which can cause significant damage to your roof. Damage caused by hail may include:
- Missing shingles
- Moss growth on the roof
- Leak or cracks on the roof’s structural integrity
- Damage to roof vents
- Leads to other associated problems, like leakage
Wind damage
While no roof is designed to withstand tornado winds, different wind speeds can damage a roof. It’s often difficult to prevent wind damage in extreme conditions. Certain areas of the roof may appear to be more damaged than others due to the varying force and impact of the wind.
During tornado winds, flying debris can cause significant structural damage to the roof. Overhanging branches can also damage the roof during strong winds and should be properly groomed as a precaution.
