How do I know if my roof has storm or hail damage?

Storm damage is not always visible from the ground. Common signs include granules in gutters, dented vents or soft metals, missing shingles, water stains inside the home, or visible roof damage. After any significant storm, scheduling a professional inspection is recommended.
