what is hail damage

Hail damage refers to the damage caused by hailstones to various objects, including roofs, cars, and other property. Hailstones can vary in size, from small pellets to large, softball-sized stones, and can cause different types of damage depending on their size and density. For example, hail can cause dings in aluminum siding, gutters or asphalt shingles, whereas it can crack vinyl siding or wood shakes. Alternatively, softball-sized hailstones can be dense enough and strong enough to puncture a roof. In the case of cars, hail can cause dents, chips, and scratches on the body panels, as well as crack the glass, mirrors, or lights. The severity of hail damage can depend on various factors, such as the size and density of the hailstones, the age and condition of the object being hit, and the type of material it is made of. It is not recommended to repair hail damage yourself, as DIY techniques can cause more harm than good. It is best to leave hail damage repair to a professional.
