Hail Damage
Here, a section of shingles were marked out, and as many hail hits that could be found in that section were marked out, to get an idea as to the extent of the damage.

Hail Damage
While it doesn't look like much, this is enough damage to dramatically shorten the life of the shingles, and void the shingle manufacturer's warranty.

Hail Damage
Hailstones come in all shapes and sizes. If one of them is big enough to cause visible damage, no doubt dozens more have caused extensive unseen damage, greatly reducing the lifespan and integrity of the roof system.

Hail Damage
Running the straight edge of a chalk stick across the top of this exhaust cap reveals the dents caused by hail. Seeing how many times this cap was hit gives a pretty good idea as to just how much hail hit the rest of the roof.

Hail Damage
Even if you can't see any hail damage on your roof, it should be inspected after a hailstorm just to be sure that there isn't any hidden damage that could lead to premature shingle wear or leaks.

Roof Replacement
Installation of underlayment. We prefer to remove all old shingles and underlayment so we can inspect the decking and make any necessary repairs before installing the new roof. Clean decking also provides a smoother surface to install the new roof on, which leads to a better overall appearance.

Synthetic underlayments offer a number of advantages, including better breathability, longer lifespan, greater ease of installation, and improved installer safety due to increased traction and tear resistance.

New Roof
When replacing complicated roofs like this one, it's always worth it to hire a skilled and experienced roofing company. Every valley, hip, ridge, flashing, and roof transition is a potential leak hazard if not installed properly. Experienced roofers not only make an effort to do the job right in the first place, but will also warranty their work.
