Bruises found by hand
Hail strikes are located by running a hand across the slope and feeling the soft spots, then marking them. It cannot be done from a photograph or from the ground.

In short
The damage you cannot see is the costly kind
Wind announces itself: tabs gone, ridge cap missing, debris on the lawn. Hail does not. It knocks granules off a small circle and fractures the mat underneath, leaving a roof that looks untouched from the pavement and begins leaking three winters later along every bruise.
What is covered
What a storm visit takes in
Wind damage and the rakes
Lifted and creased tabs, broken seal strips along the windward edges, missing ridge cap, and the rake lines where uplift does most of its work.
Soft metal first
Gutters, vent caps and downspouts dent before shingles bruise, so they get checked first — the cheapest way to tell how big the stones really were.
A dated written record
Each marked area photographed in position and close up, with the date, so whoever assesses the roof afterwards is looking at what was actually there.
About claims
What we will and will not do with insurers
We document what we find and we will be on the roof with an adjuster if that helps. We do not file claims for homeowners, we do not act as your representative, and we promise nothing about what a policy will pay. That stays between you and your insurer, and the estimate is written the same way whether a claim is involved or not.
