Damage Assessment

Hail fell across Austinburg in a size range from 0.75 to 1.58 inches. Hail at the lower end of that range commonly dents vinyl siding and aluminum panels and strips shingle granules. Hail near 1.0 inch can crack older window glazing and produce visible dents in vehicle body panels.

At 1.58 inches, impacts reach moderate levels. Expect localized broken skylights, dented metal roofing, and accelerated wear or cracking on older asphalt shingles. Exterior soft materials such as solar panels with existing microfractures and thin HVAC fins are at higher risk of damage where hail concentrations were greatest.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize visual roof inspections and photographic documentation for properties across Austinburg that reported exposure during the evening of June 10. Start with attic checks for holes or wet insulation, then document shingle granule loss, fractured edges, and displaced flashing. Photograph damage with a measurable scale and note the side of the structure facing the storm path.

For vehicle and siding claims, log dent patterns and estimate concentration by street or neighborhood. Preserve samples of shattered skylight glass or roof shingle fragments when present. Schedule follow-up inspections within 7 to 14 days to monitor progressive failures and to coordinate any temporary tarping. Use safety protocols when accessing roofs and secure ladders on stable ground.
