1. Look At Your Neighbors

Have you noticed roofing and contractor trucks in your area in the days and weeks following a large storm? If several of your neighbors are getting their roofs repaired or replaced after severe weather, there is a good chance that your roof was also damaged during the storm. Contact Strength Roofing & Siding to get a roofing inspection to check the severity of the damage to your home and to see if you will need repairs.

2. Roofing Granules

Asphalt shingles are covered with small mineral granules. When they are pounded by a storm, some of these can loosen and start to drop off. If you notice these granules littering your flower beds, grass, gutters, or downspouts, you may have experienced some damage. If your shingles do not have enough of these granules on them, they will be more likely to crack, curl, and fail in the protection of your home.

3. Leaking

The most obvious sign that you have damage to your roof is leaking. After a storm, be sure to check spaces in your attic for obvious signs of leaks, including water damage or sunlight peeking through holes. If this damage is not taken care of quickly, it can cause increased energy bills, damage to your ceilings, and ruined property.

4. Dents

If you have metal vents on your roof, metal gutters, or an air conditioning unit outside your home, check them for denting after a severe hail storm. All of these usually have smooth texture on them, which allows for you to much more easily see the damage that hail has caused. If you have dents in these metal items, it is likely that your roof suffered some damage as well and you will need some repairs.
