Hail damage isn’t always obvious from the ground, especially on dimensional shingles where impacts can blend into the pattern. What matters isn’t just visible dents, but the loss of protective granules that expose the asphalt layer underneath. Over time, that exposure accelerates aging and increases the risk of leaks. In Florida, hail events are often followed by intense sun and heavy rain, which compounds the problem. A roof that looks “fine” today can fail prematurely because the protective surface was compromised. That’s why proper inspection, not guesswork, is critical after any storm activity. On this project, a homeowner sought a second opinion after being approached by an out-of-town roofer. The inspection confirmed widespread hail impact, making a full replacement the correct long-term solution. This marked the seventh reroof in the same neighborhood tied to the same storm event. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHhf84HaJVJcpeiy7
