Hail can be very destructive to a roof, the older the roof, the more vulnerable to hail damage it is.
When hail hits your roof, it creates an indentation on the surface; breaking the mat on asphalt shingles and exposing the fiberglass, breaking the protective coating on metal panels, making them rust, and in the case of clay tile, concrete tile and slate, it can completely shatter the tiles.
If you have had a recent hailstorm, get your roof checked out as soon as possible to prevent any further damages to your home.
Windstorms, hurricanes and tornados can create some serious damage to most roofs. Clay, slate, concrete and metal roofs if well installed can easily resist winds of up to 150 mph, nevertheless, it is always a good idea to have an inspection after a major storm.
