Not every dark spot on a roof is hail damage. And experienced adjusters know the difference.
After 15 years as an insurance adjuster handling claims for multiple insurance carriers, John knows exactly what separates legitimate hail damage from normal wear, heat blisters, or damage that's been created by someone rubbing the shingles.
In this video, he demonstrates a simple but important distinction:
✔️ A true hail bruise is typically a deep, dark black mark caused by impact.
✔️ A spot that's been rubbed by hand or a tool often turns brown because the surface granules have simply been disturbed.
That's why a proper roof inspection matters. Filing an insurance claim based on incorrect information can lead to delays, denials, and unnecessary frustration.
