- A large quantity of roof granules accumulating in the driveway or beneath the gutter downspout indicate a potential problem.
- If you can see where hail stones hit your roof and left a permanent black mark on the shingles your roof has sustained damage.
2. WIND DAMAGE ASSESSMENT TO ROOF

- Obvious wind damage is when shingles are missing or they flap in the wind.
- Many times the roof has to be inspected.
3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON STORM DAMAGE
