The article, published on Wednesday, April 22 on the Ja-Mar website, details what hail damage looks. It also states how to find hidden damage and how to fix any hail damage in your roof.

The post goes in depth about the details of hail damage. While most people are familiar with indentations, the post goes into details such as granular and sealant erosion. These two processes are very common and also very unique to hail damage.

In the same article, Ja-Mar Roofing stresses that repairing a roof goes farther than replacing one shingle. It goes into assessing the damage around the missing shingle, which could include a full roof replacement if needed.

The publication was born out of a want for education. Ja-Mar Roofing President and CEO David L. Phillips was shocked when hail started falling from the sky. When he started seeing phone calls come in, he knew he had to do something.

"A lot of people [didn't] know about how to deal with the damage," Phillips said about the new customers coming in. "When we started to deal with entire portions of the roof, customers didn't know that you have to look for hidden cracks in the roofs. That's when we had to get writing."

Ja-Mar Roofing and Sheet Metal has given commercial and residential roofing services to Austin and its surrounding communities since 1961. David Phillips has been president of the company since 2005.
