What hail this size does to a roof
Penny size hail can bruise aging shingles and mark soft metals. Newer roofs often come through it, so an inspection is how you find out. That was 23 days ago. Most policies require prompt notice of a loss, so if you suspect damage, get the roof inspected now and use September 20, 2026 as the date of loss only if this is the storm that hit your home.
