What It Is

A Professional Opinion — To Help You Know Whether the Next Step Is Worth Taking

Instead of sending someone out to physically inspect the roof or home exterior first, a local pro reviews the property’s hail activity remotely using detailed property-level hail reports. The review looks far beyond the largest hail size to help understand possible current, hidden, and delayed hail concerns — then provides a professional opinion on what next step may make sense, saving time before anyone gets on the roof.

What It Reviews

More Than Just the Largest Hail

Most hail reports — whether they show hail at the property or just nearby — focus on one main signal: the largest hail size. That number is useful, but it is only one snapshot of a storm. A Remote Hail Inspection can review up to 50 hail and storm signals to help show the fuller hail activity the property may have experienced — not just the peak.

How Big the Hail Was

The largest hail size estimated at the home's location, and whether it reached severe size during the storm event.

Largest hail at the home — 1.75″

When and How Long

The day and time hail fell, and how long it lasted. A quick burst is very different from a long, steady pounding.

6:18–6:30 PM · about 12 minutes

How Hard It Came Down

Hail size and time together, so a short blast of big hail isn't confused with a long stretch of smaller hail.

Severe hail for about 10 minutes

Whether It Passed More Than Once

Whether the storm passed over the home several times. Each pass is another chance for roof and home exterior impact.

3 hail passes detected during the storm

What Happened Around the Home

Property buffer analysis and public storm reports from the surrounding area, used as context, never as proof for the exact roof.

How Reliable the Reading Is

A confidence check on the data. Higher confidence means a pro may place more weight on it; lower means read it with extra care.

Confidence — High (86/100)
Review Levels

Quick, Standard, or Deep — the Pro Pulls the Right Depth

Not every property needs the same depth of review. The pro chooses the review level based on the property, the hail findings, the storm history, and the reason for the review.

Quick Review

Simple review when the property has clear hail signals, straightforward readings, or low-complexity history.

Most common

Standard Review

Balanced review when the property has meaningful hail signals, multiple readings, or moderate history.

Deep Review

Detailed review when the property has complex hail signals, repeated events, or high-intensity history.

These are all Remote Hail Inspection options — the pro selects the right depth for each property.

Three Kinds of Hail Concern

Current, Hidden, and Delayed

A Remote Hail Inspection helps organize hail concern in three simple ways: what may need attention now, what may not be easy to see yet, and what could show up later. These are professional interpretations based on the report findings — not confirmations of property damage.

Current Concern

Could the recent hail signal be strong enough that the roof or home exterior should be checked now?

This looks at larger hail, longer hail duration, repeated hail passes, and stronger readings around the property.

Hidden Concern

Could there be hail impact that is not easy to see from the ground?

This matters because roof bruising, granule loss, damaged vents, soft-metal dents, siding marks, or gutter impact may not be obvious without a closer inspection.

Delayed Concern

Could hail activity add wear or explain problems that show up later?

This looks at repeated hail days, long-duration hail, smaller hail over time, older roof condition, or prior storm history that may make later issues more likely.

A Remote Hail Inspection may support current, hidden, or delayed hail concern, but it does not diagnose damage. Actual roof or home exterior damage must be confirmed through an in-person inspection.

Not Just Roofing

Is It Only for Roofing?

No. Hail can affect more than the roof. A Remote Hail Inspection helps you understand the bigger exterior picture before scheduling an in-person inspection. A local pro can review hail activity for the property and help identify which exterior areas may deserve a closer look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this confirm my roof is damaged?

No. A Remote Hail Inspection helps a pro review hail activity your property may have experienced, using NOAA radar-derived hail data with NWS Local Storm Reports and other public storm reports as supporting context. Only an in-person roof or exterior inspection can confirm actual damage.

Does it replace a roof inspection?

No. It helps show whether an in-person roof or exterior inspection may be worth scheduling. It does not replace a physical inspection, but it may help guide whether one is worth the next step.

Is Remote Hail Inspection free?

A Remote Hail Inspection is often provided at no cost by participating local pros, but availability varies by provider. Start with the free Hail Report by Address, then contact a local pro to ask whether they offer a Remote Hail Inspection for your property.

Is the free hail report the same as a Remote Hail Inspection?

No. The free hail report is the starting point. A Remote Hail Inspection is a deeper pro-level review where a local pro uses detailed property-level hail analysis to help interpret the property's hail history.

What does a Remote Hail Inspection look at?

A pro can review up to 50 hail and storm signals, including hail size, timing, duration, repeated hail passes, hail intensity, property buffer context, NWS Local Storm Reports, public storm reports, confidence, and possible current, hidden, or delayed hail concerns.

When should I request a Remote Hail Inspection?

A Remote Hail Inspection may be useful after a hail storm, before scheduling a roof inspection, during a home purchase, before listing a home, or when you want a professional opinion before anyone gets on the roof.

Who reviews the Remote Hail Inspection?

A local pro reviews the property's hail activity, interprets the findings, and gives a professional opinion on the next step. Actual damage still must be confirmed in person.

What are Quick, Standard, and Deep inspections?

They are review depths the pro can pull based on the property, hail signals, and storm history. Quick is for simple or clear readings, Standard is the common balanced review, and Deep is for complex, repeated, or high-intensity hail history.

Why does it look at the area around the home?

The property itself remains the main reading. The property buffer is used only as context to account for radar spacing, storm movement, address placement, or small geocoding differences. It helps a pro interpret the hail signal around the home, but it is not a replacement for the property reading.

Are NWS Local Storm Reports or public storm reports proof of damage?

No. NWS Local Storm Reports and other public storm reports are area-based supporting context. They can support that hail or wind happened in the area, but they do not prove damage at the exact property.

What are current, hidden, and delayed hail concerns?

Current concern means the hail signal may justify a closer look now. Hidden concern means impact may not be obvious from the ground. Delayed concern means hail activity may add wear or help explain issues that show up later. These are professional interpretations, not damage confirmations.

Can this help homeowners after a storm?

Yes. Homeowners can use Remote Hail Inspection to get a professional read on recent hail activity before deciding whether to schedule an on-site roof or exterior inspection.

Why would a home buyer use Remote Hail Inspection?

A buyer can use Remote Hail Inspection to look for possible hidden or delayed hail concerns that a general home inspection may not fully reveal. It can help show whether the roof or exterior deserves a closer professional review before moving forward.

Why would a home seller use Remote Hail Inspection?

A seller can use Remote Hail Inspection before listing or negotiations to understand the property's hail history before it becomes a buyer concern. It can help prepare for roof or exterior questions and reduce the chance that hail-history concerns slow down or complicate the deal.
