How to Spot Hail Damage on Your Roof After a Colorado Storm

Colorado's Front Range is nicknamed "Hail Alley" for good reason. After a storm rolls through Commerce City, Denver, or anywhere along the Front Range, it's worth checking your roof for damage — even if nothing looks obviously wrong from the driveway.

Signs of Hail Damage You Can See From the Ground

• Dented or dinged gutters and downspouts

• Dark spots or bruising on asphalt shingles

• Granules collecting in gutters or at the base of downspouts

• Dented roof vents, flashing, or AC/HVAC housings

• Cracked or chipped skylights

Why Hail Damage Isn't Always Obvious

Hail impacts can bruise a shingle without tearing it, which means the damage is invisible from the ground but still compromises the shingle's ability to protect your home. Left unaddressed, bruised shingles can lead to leaks months or even years later — often outside your insurance company's claim window.
