Hail size definitely affects the damage to your roof. If you were at home during the hailstorm, you probably have a good idea of the size that fell; and this will give you a basic understanding of the roof damage you should expect.
If you were not home, make sure to note the date. You will need this date when you file a claim. If you could not take any pictures of the hail storm, perform an internet search with the date, the name of your city, and the keywords "hail storm." You should find a many photos detailing the size of the hail.
When the hail is smaller than an inch, you will most likely require the assistance of an expert roofing contractor to identify any hail damage. If the hail is between 1 - 2 inches in diameter, damage to shingles will be more easily noticeable. You will also be able to spot damage to flashing or any soft metal on the roof. Hailstones that are greater than 2 Inches will usually guarantee some level of damage to an asphalt roof.
