Summer storms can roll in fast—and leave more behind than puddles and branches. High winds, hail, and heavy rain can quietly damage your roof, even if everything looks fine from the ground.
At A+ Services, we know that storm damage isn’t always obvious—but it can lead to costly problems if ignored. Whether you live in Northern Kentucky or Greater Cincinnati, here’s what to look for after a storm—and when to call in the professionals.

What Roof Damage You Can See from the Ground
You don’t have to climb a ladder to get a good idea of whether your roof took a hit. After the skies clear, take a walk around your home and look for these telltale signs:
Check for:
- Missing or lifted shingles – Strong winds can rip them right off or loosen them.
- Shingle granules in gutters or on the ground – Hail and driving rain can wear away the protective coating.
- Dents or bruising – Especially on metal flashing, vents, or gutters. Hail often leaves small impact marks.
- Exposed underlayment or nail heads – If you see anything that isn’t a shingle, your roof’s protective layer is compromised.
- Debris buildup in roof valleys – Leaves, branches, and even small sticks can create drainage issues.
If you see anything out of the ordinary—or even if you’re unsure—don’t wait for water to come through your ceiling. Roof damage can allow slow leaks that rot wood, invite mold, and destroy insulation long before they become visible.
Should You Call a Roofer If There’s No Leak?
Yes—and here’s why.
Not all storm damage leads to an immediate leak. Sometimes, the damage is hidden beneath the surface or masked by roofing materials that look intact. Over time, these weaknesses worsen with sun exposure, humidity, and the next storm.
Call A+ Services if:
- You heard loud hail or heavy wind but see no obvious damage.
- Your neighbors are getting roof inspections.
