The first time I had someone come to the door I went outside with him and he pointed out a few spots which were really nothing, but then I couldn't get rid of him and he was so pushy, to the point of almost sticking his foot in the door, that I almost called the police. If you think you have hail damage, do your own investigating starting with your own ins co as to who to call. Never go with someone who comes to your door. There were several in our neighborhood here who got new roofs over all this but did they really need it?

Having lived in "hail country" I know all of those little dings will badly compromise your roof over time. If you have a reputable company inspect your roof and they say there is damage it may be wise to listen to them.
