Damage Assessment

Hail of this size across Tallassee can cause cosmetic damage to vehicles, including paint chips and minor dents on exposed panels. Asphalt shingles may show granular loss or small bruises where shingles are already aged or compromised. Vinyl siding, skylights, and soft-metal gutters are susceptible to dents and scratches in localized areas directly under the storm path.

Inspect exterior finishes and parked vehicles first. Concentrate inspections on south- and west-facing surfaces, open yards, and areas near tree cover where hail accumulation and impact evidence commonly collect. Photographs should include a dated reference and a common object for scale when documenting impact points.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize an initial visual roof assessment for shingles showing torn or missing granules and for localized bruising. Use a 10- to 15-foot ladder inspection from the eaves where safe, and follow up with closer access only when safety checks and fall protection are in place. Note suspected impact points with photographs and coordinate a follow-up walk with the property owner to compare vehicle, siding, and gutter conditions.

For claims involving vehicles, advise clients to park exposed cars in driveways for immediate documentation and to avoid washing vehicles until documentation is complete. For roofing and siding, document both affected and nearby unaffected areas to establish contrast. Provide clear, dated photographic evidence and a simple scope of visible repairs or replacement needs.
