Asphalt
What hail does to an asphalt roof
Hail bruises asphalt shingles. A hard enough hit fractures the mat under the surface, tears or punctures it, or knocks off the granules that shield the asphalt from the sun. A bruised shingle can look fine from the ground and still let water in later, which is why hail damage is easy to miss. After a big storm the real question is often not how to patch the roof, but what to replace it with.
