Hail damage is the most-missed roofing problem in North Alabama — and the most-denied insurance claim when it's not documented properly. Most homeowners can't see hail damage from the ground; trained inspectors look for specific bruise patterns, granule strikes, and collateral damage that prove a hail event.

- Granules in gutters & downspouts
- Dented gutters, vents, and AC fins
