How Does Hail Damages a Roof?
Hail is dangerous to the roof of your home as it decreases its life expectancy. Damage to the asphalt roof takes place when the protective granular surface of the asphalt shingle loosens and falls off.
As the granules get removed, the shingle loses some of its protection, shortening the lifespan of the roof and making it more susceptible to more damage. The roofs that sustain hail damage don't always need to be removed immediately. If left uncovered with time, the damaged shingles could potentially allow water seepage into the roof.

In general, asphalt shingles are the primary roofing material used on the roofs in Colorado. Here are the common signs your roof has been damaged by a hail storm:
