Damage Assessment

One-inch hail can dent softer metals, break unprotected skylights, and leave visible impact marks on roof slopes with lighter exposure. Vehicles parked outside during the core of the storm can show roof and hood damage, along with cracked trim or chipped glass in some cases.

Roof conditions vary by material. Asphalt shingles may show bruising or displaced granules, while tile roofs can show fractured edges or impact points at exposed seams. Flat roofs and membranes often show punctures or membrane marks near the heaviest hail path, especially where debris collected during the storm.

Window screens, awnings, patio covers, and lightweight exterior fixtures are common inspection points after 1-inch hail. Crews should also check gutters, downspouts, soft metals, and HVAC fins for impact marks. In a metro setting like Las Vegas, isolated hail can leave uneven damage across short distances, so visible impacts on one block do not always match the next.

What Contractors Should Know

Start with the roofline, then work down to soft metals and exterior accessories. Look for bruised shingles, cracked tile corners, damaged flashing, and dents on gutters or drip edge. Photograph all impact points before cleaning or replacement work begins. On metal components, check for shallow dents that may not affect function but still support a claim file.

Use street-level variation to narrow canvass routes. Hail can be concentrated along the strongest part of the warning area and fade quickly outside it. In Las Vegas, commercial parcels often have larger roof spans, more metal trim, and more exposed HVAC units than nearby residential blocks, so inspection priorities can change by property type. Keep a consistent checklist for roofs, windows, screens, garage doors, and exterior mechanical units.

For bid accuracy, separate cosmetic impact from functional damage. Count roof slopes, note material type, and document punctures, cracks, and displaced components by elevation. If you are staging crews, assign the closest properties first and preserve photo evidence before any temporary repair. The Strike Map shows the precise hail track data for this Las Vegas event.
