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
