    • 1). Research the effectiveness of various types of roofing materials for preventing hail damage. Asphalt shingles, for example, are more preventative when they are reinforced. Modified asphalt is even more effective at preventing hail damage. Metal can dent easily but the damage from hail is likely to be minimal. Slate roofs are durable, heavy and can last 100 years or more.
