Serious weather, including hail storms, can cause serious damage to a home’s roof. Eric Appleton of A1 Contractors LLC one of Clarksville roofing companies has a few suggestions on what to look for after a hail storm. First he has a strong recommendation to the homeowner.“It is not advised that homeowners climb up on the roof and check for damage. It is best to leave that toa professional roofing contractor. Serious bodily injury can occur from falling off a roof. Perform visual inspections from the ground as best you can,” said Appleton.


Eric Appleton recommends looking for the following signs of hail damage. Depending on the type of roof will determine how to check for damage. Shingle roofing is the most difficult because the damage can be very minute and visible only to a trained eye. This does not mean a homeowner cannot look for some damage.“Look for torn and missing shingles. Another thing to look for is missing granules from the shingle. This second thing to look for often takes a professional eye to notice,” said Appleton.


Metal roofing is often much easier to recognize damage. All that the homeowner needs to look for are dents on the roof.“The dents will be fairly obvious and visible from the ground. It will not take a professional to notice dents,” said Appleton.


Appleton and A1 Contractors LLC the Clarksville roof repair company is glad to come to the homeowner’s home and perform a much more thorough inspection, to include climbing on the roof and taking pictures to share with the homeowner.Pictures can also be shared with the insurance adjuster.“Again, I stress to you, please do not climb on your roof and check for damage. If you are not certain about damage or know what to look for, it can do more harm than good in the long run,” said Appleton.Homeowners who have suspected hail damage should contact Appleton and A1 Contractors LLC for an initial visit and complementary inspection.
