Radar cannot confirm what hit your shingles; an inspection can, and it costs you nothing. For Minnesota properties, our sister site MN Hail Buddy passes your request to exactly one licensed Minnesota contractor: one company, never a blast list, and your information is not sold to anyone else.

Before you sign anything, read the contractor red flags: assignment-of-benefits traps, deductible games, and storm-chaser tells.

How to read this page. These are radar hail signatures: estimates of hail aloft, accurate to roughly a mile. They are strong evidence a storm produced hail in an area, not proof of damage at any one roof. If a date here matches when your roof was last replaced or inspected, the address lookup will show what the radar saw over your specific property.
