Hail damage depends on more than just the size of the hailstone — factors like wind speed, roof age, roofing material, and the direction of impact all matter. But as a general guide:
Pea-sized hail (¼") → Usually no damage
Marble-sized hail (½") → May bruise soft metals, screens, or older shingles
Dime to nickel-sized hail (¾"–⅞") → Can begin damaging aging or lower-quality asphalt shingles
Quarter-sized hail (1") → Often considered the threshold where noticeable roof damage starts occurring
Golf ball-sized hail (1.75") → Commonly causes significant shingle damage, siding dents, and broken gutters
