How extensive is Quarter Size Hail Damage?
Anyone whose property is struck by hail needs to have licensed professionals check to make sure there is damage. Do not let someone walk up and knock on your door and tell you to open up a claim because he or she knows there is damage. 99% of the time they are just unlicensed salespeople with no knowledge or expertise on roof damage. Not all hail storms cause damage or enough damage that you should open up an insurance claim. However, Pea-sized hail (1/4 of an inch) or marble-sized hail (1/2 inch) might not cause damage. Anything larger, say a dime or a quarter (3/4 to one inch) can cause serious and severe damage. Golf ball-sized hail is 1 ¾ inch and softball-sized hail is 4 ½ inches according to NOAA.
