Hail is a formidable force of nature. It comes in various sizes, from pea-sized pellets to larger stones that can cause significant damage upon impact. When hailstorms strike, they can leave roofs vulnerable to a range of issues
Hail can crack or break shingles, leading to potential leaks and compromising the roof's ability to protect the home. The protective granules on asphalt shingles can be knocked off by hail, exposing the underlying material to UV rays and accelerating wear and tear.
