Hail damage is the kind you least expect to find and most need to. A hailstorm can bruise and fracture shingles without leaving a single obvious hole, and the damage quietly shortens the roof's life until a leak appears months later. Mabrey Roofing inspects for the real signs of hail, granule loss, bruising, and soft spots, documents them for your claim, and gets the roof restored before that slow damage becomes an expensive one.

Most hail damage on a Triangle roof is invisible from the yard, which is exactly why it goes unfiled until it starts to leak. The signs that matter are granule loss that exposes the asphalt mat, soft bruises where a stone fractured the shingle, and matching dents on soft metal like vents and gutters.

Hail is less frequent here than straight-line wind, but when a severe storm does drop it, the damage is latent and shortens the roof's life quietly. Mabrey Roofing inspects at no cost, presses each suspect spot by hand rather than guessing from a photo, and hands you a dated, written report you can file yourself. Hail is commonly a covered peril on North Carolina homeowner policies, though it always comes down to your specific coverage.
We get up top and separate genuine hail bruising and granule loss from ordinary sun-driven aging, slope by slope.
Every bruise, bare spot, and dented vent is shot up close and tied to the date of the storm, so the evidence stands on its own.
Once the claim is settled we re-roof with certified materials and back the work in writing, rather than patch the worst slope and hope.
- Free, no-obligation hail inspection of every slope and soft-metal surface
- Hand press-testing of suspect shingles to tell a bruise from a blister
- Close-up and drone photos of granule loss, mat fractures, and metal dents
- A dated written report tied to the storm event, ready for you to file
- A walkthrough of each documented hail strike with your adjuster
- Full restoration with manufacturer-certified shingles and a written workmanship warranty
Signs to Watch For. Caught Early, Fixed for Less.
If any of these sound familiar, book a free documented inspection — slope-by-slope photos, a straight answer on how much life the roof has left, and one fixed price if it is time. If a repair is the smarter spend, that is what we will tell you.
Why Hail Damage Is Latent, Not Loud
- The mat fractures under the granules, not through the shingle
- Exposed asphalt bakes and cracks over the following months
- The leak often appears a season after the storm that caused it
Bruise or Blister, and Why the Difference Pays
- A bruise feels soft; a blister stays firm underneath
- Blisters are uniform; hail is random and one-sided
- We press by hand, never rule from a ground photo
The Soft Metal Tells On the Storm
- Gutters, drip edge, and AC fins dent before shingles do
- Same-size dents facing one way confirm the stone size
- We shoot the metal and the roof on one visit
Reading the Gutters, Not Just the Roof
- Even, gradual thinning on sunny slopes reads as age
- Sharp-edged bare spots on one face read as impact
- We map the shape of the loss, not the gutter pile
Roof Age Changes How Hail Lands
- New shingles flex where aged, brittle ones shatter
- An old roof can be hit hard where a new one is fine
- Repair or replace leans on remaining life, told plainly
The Reporting Clock on a Hail Claim
- Policies expect a loss reported inside a set window
- Undocumented damage is damage the insurer can decline
- We tie each finding to the dated storm for your area

You often cannot tell from the ground. The reliable signs are granule loss, soft bruising on the shingles, and dents on metal vents and gutters. A documented inspection is the only way to know for sure, and ours is free.
It depends on the extent. Isolated damage can be repaired, while widespread bruising and granule loss across multiple slopes usually means replacement. Our inspection and photos give you and your insurer the information to decide.
Hail is commonly a covered peril on North Carolina homeowner policies, though it depends on the policy you carry. An inspection documents the damage so you know where you stand, and the deductible stays yours to pay.
