Granule loss can expose shingles to faster aging and may indicate hail impact, old shingles, or storm wear. It is one clue that should be reviewed with the overall roof condition.

Dents on gutters, vents, flashing, and other soft metals can help confirm hail impact around the property, but the shingles and full roof system still need to be reviewed.
Can a storm damage inspection find non-storm issues too?
Yes. An inspection may also identify age-related wear, ventilation problems, flashing issues, installation defects, or maintenance concerns.
