For example hail can cause dings in aluminum siding gutters or asphalt shingles whereas it can crack vinyl siding or wood shakes. All euroshield roofs are warrantied for this size of the hailstone. Because seamless gutters are frequently feature aluminum or copper construction the signs of hail damage include telltale denting. Roofs with multiple shingle layers may be damaged by smaller hail stones due to a softer support surface directly under the top shingle layer.

That s mostly because hail is fairly unpredictable some hailstones are pea sized while the largest ever recorded in the province have been as large as grapefruits. Gutters are also susceptible to hail damage. Unfortunately there s really no way to hail proof a home completely. Two inch hail is roughly the size of a standard egg.

Alternatively softball sized hailstones can be dense enough and strong enough to puncture a roof. Hail damage to asphalt shingles may consist of punctures tears fractures bruises or the more common displacement of granules. Hail is a powerful force of nature that can even damage roofs made with concrete tiles if the stones are large enough and wind speeds are high. A bad hail storm is likely to cause some damage no matter what you do.
