What Can Hail Damage Look Like in Siding or Leaf Guards?
In two words, “visible indentations.”
As they sang in Grease, “Tell me more. Tell me more.”
“Tend to be near circular in shape”
“Formed by a mostly downward impact”
“Widespread in extent”
“Random in pattern”
“Not uniform in size or depth.”
“Generally only on one or two elevations”
For example:

circular indentations in aluminum siding.



Indentations from impact by hail are relatively easy to distinguish from indentations made by intentional or inadvertent human activity. We will leave that distinction for another post.
