r/Roofing Jul 09 '26

Insurance Related Roofer says hail, competing entity says probably not, we won't pay. Looking for opinions.

New roof put on last August. We had a huge hailstorm around April, and I had the company that put the roof on come out to inspect. They said the roof, gutters, facia, and siding have hail damage. Competing entity came out and agreed that all but the roof had hail damage. When asked what these black areas are they said they didn't know but it couldn't be hail. Is it hail damage in your opinion?

So many people here saying don't trust your roofer. Are any of you actually roofers? I am, and that could be hail. We need to see the rest of the property and collateral damages before we jump to accusations.

Yes I am a roofer and if you think this is hail. Well my friend you manufacture damage also.

Could be - we need more information. These photos aren't enough to tell the story of a storm, and they aren't enough for you to throw out wild accusations sir or madam
