How big does hail need to be to damage a roof?

Hail 1 inch (quarter-size) or larger typically causes shingle bruising or granule loss that shortens roof life even if not immediately visible. Hail 1.5 inches (golf ball-size) or larger causes obvious structural damage to most roofing materials and is the threshold insurers most commonly accept for full roof replacement claims.
