Damage Assessment

One-inch hail can affect roofs, gutters, vents, and vehicles. Asphalt shingles may show spot bruising or granule loss. Metal roofs can show denting. Skylights, soft metals, and exterior trim often show the first visible marks.

Window screens and siding can also show impact marks, especially on exposed faces. Vehicles parked outside during the hail core may have roof and hood damage. In a single-zone event like this, the most efficient inspections focus on the first line of impact along the storm path and the edges of exposed structures.

For contractors, this size supports roof checks, exterior trim inspections, and vehicle documentation. It also supports quick triage on properties with older shingles, lightweight accessories, or prior weather wear.

What Contractors Should Know

Field crews should start with steep-slope roofs, ridge caps, flashing, vents, and any soft metal components. One-inch hail often leaves limited but usable indicators. Bruising, fractured shingle mats, and collateral denting on metal surfaces are common targets for a first pass. Crews should also note patios, pergolas, and HVAC covers where impact marks can help confirm the hail footprint.

Interior leak checks matter when hail strikes are paired with wind-driven rain. Inspect attic vents, pipe penetrations, and areas around skylights. On commercial properties, pay close attention to low-slope membranes, HVAC units, and rooftop curbs. Exterior elevations that face the storm path may show the cleanest impact pattern.

For scheduling, a same-day canvass is usually enough to separate fresh damage from older wear when conditions allow. If the property has mixed roofing materials, document each section separately. Keep photo sets tight and location-specific. Note any nearby tree debris, broken screens, or vehicle claims that line up with the hail timing.

Use the local alert time, the observed hail size, and the property type to prioritize inspections. In Muleshoe, a 1-inch hail report is enough to justify targeted roof and exterior assessments on exposed structures. The Strike Map shows the precise hail track data for this event.
