Both slopes of this Carrollton roof crossed 10 hail hits per test square. On November 7 our crew walked a home in Carrollton, TX, laid out a 10×10 test square on the front slope and another on the back, and counted every hit in chalk.
The Test Squares
A test square is a 10 ft x 10 ft section of one slope. The crew circles every hail hit inside it and writes the count on the shingles. Here the back slope (B/E) and the front slope (F/E) each came back at 10 or more hits.
Vents and Roof Metals
Soft metals show hail clearly. The turbine vent and the vent caps were chalk-marked where the dents are, so the photos line up with the shingle counts.
Roof Edge and Outbuilding
Along the eave the crew found water-damaged wood exposed at the roof edge and checked the drip edge and gutter line. Out back, the metal outbuilding wall was chalked for hail marks too.
