Hail Damage Roof Repair in Myrtle Beach, SC

Hail rarely punches a hole. It bruises the mat, strips the granules, and quietly takes years off a roof that still looks fine from the driveway.

The Damage You Can't See

Finding Hail Damage on a Horry County Roof

A hail-hit shingle usually keeps working for a season or two, then fails early. Catching it now is what protects the claim.

Hail damage is a measuring job, not an eyeball job. We chalk out ten-foot test squares on each slope, count the impacts inside them, and photograph what we find with a scale in frame. Then we check the soft metals — gutter aprons, vent caps, flashing — because those keep a dent record long after the shingles have weathered.

The reason it matters here is timing. A bruised shingle around Aynor or Conway doesn't leak this year. It sheds granules faster, cracks at the bruise in two or three summers, and by the time the ceiling stains, the claim window on that storm closed a long time ago.

  • Test-square hail counts
  • Granule loss measurement
  • Soft-metal impact checks
  • Mat bruise identification
  • Vent and cap damage survey
  • Chalked and photographed hits
  • Slope-by-slope reporting
  • Full or partial restoration

Telltale Signs

What Hail Leaves on a Coastal Carolina Roof

If a cell came through your neighborhood, these are the marks worth checking for.

  1. Dark Circles With Missing Grit

    A knocked-clean spot exposing the black mat is the classic hail signature.

  2. Soft Spots That Give Under Thumb

    The mat underneath is bruised, so the shingle flexes where it shouldn't.

  3. Dents in Gutters and Vent Caps

    Soft metals record the storm even when the shingles hide it well.

  4. Grit Piled at Downspout Outlets

    A sudden pile of granules after a storm means the surface took a beating.

  5. Splatter Marks on Painted Trim

    Clean spots on chalky paint or oxidized siding show where stones landed.

Hail Inspection

How We Document a Hail Event

Four steps built to produce evidence, not opinions.

  1. Confirm the Storm Date

    We check which cells actually crossed your address and when.

  2. Chalk the Test Squares

    Marked areas on each slope, with impacts counted and photographed.

  3. Check the Soft Metals

    Gutters, caps, and flashing corroborate what the shingles suggest.

  4. Report and Restore

    You get the write-up; we handle the repair or restoration you approve.

Hail Around Horry County

Where Hail Actually Falls on the Grand Strand

Six things that shape how hail events play out this close to the Atlantic.

Spring Thunderstorm Cells

Most local hail arrives inside fast-moving spring and early-summer storms.

Inland Hits Harder

Aynor, Loris, and Conway see more hail than the beachfront strip does.

Sun Hides the Evidence

Coastal UV weathers fresh bruises within a couple of seasons of the event.

Impact-Rated Shingles

Class 4 products resist bruising and sometimes earn an insurance discount.

Storm-Date Documentation

Carriers want the event date, so we tie every photo back to a specific storm.

Honest Verdicts

Plenty of roofs we inspect after hail have no claimable damage, and we say so.

Hail Damage Questions Worth Asking

Less than the Midwest, but the Grand Strand does get it — usually inside spring and summer thunderstorm cells that move through Horry County fast. One ten-minute cell over Conway or Aynor can mark every roof on a street.
