How can one avoid hail damage?

You can’t control the weather, but you can lower the chances of hail damage by parking your car in a garage or under a solid shelter whenever storms are forecast. If you’re on the road, look for covered parking or a safe spot to wait out the hail. Some people also use car covers designed for hail protection. It’s all about keeping the vehicle out of the open during a storm. Companies like Element Pro Restoration often remind people that prevention is much easier than fixing hail damage afterward.
