Roof Hail Damage in Wheaton, Batavia, Aurora, Winfield, Sugar Grove & Plainfield

Friday night  05/17/2019 thunderstorms produced hail storm in Chicago Western Suburbs. Many roofs in Wheaton, Winfield, Batavia, Aurora, Sugar Grove and Plainfield sustained damage. Hail size varied from 1 inch to 2.5 inches. A roof may be substantially damaged by hail, even though the actual shingles appear to still be in place after the storm. Identifying whether your roof, siding, windows or gutters have sustained damage from a hail storm may be difficult. Therefore, it is crucial to have a qualified roofing expert examine your roof after a storm to fully evaluate the damage to your property and assist you in filing an insurance claim. Even if damage to your roof may not seem severe at the moment, if left un-repaired, it may eventually lead to additional leaks and problems down the road – which could end up costing substantially more to repair.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’VE HAD HAIL DAMAGE?

  • If other homes or buildings in your area have hail damage, chances are good that your house has been damaged too.
  • If you notice bruise spots on your shingles, that is a definite sign of hail damage.
  • A leak coming through any part of your ceiling also indicates potential damage that you may have overlooked in the past.
  • If other parts of your home or building are damaged from a storm (such as a fence or gutters), your roof may have been damaged too
  • Dented gutters, air conditioners and siding—this kind of damage is easy to spot from the ground.

Chicago Western Suburbs communities should be alerted that bogus roofing contractors or “storm chasers” will be going door-to-door circulating contracts to residents whose homes have visible damage. Many of these contractors seeking the roofing work are from out of state and have misrepresented themselves and their activities. Please do NOT hire someone who comes to your door. There are plenty of reputable roofing professionals in the area. Before hiring a roofing professional, ask your friends or neighbors for a recommendation.

 

With over 25 years’ experience and a reputation you can trust, SMART Roofing, Inc. will identify whether your roof, siding, windows or gutters have sustained damage from the storm. SMART Roofing, Inc. has also helped thousands of customers in Chicago Western Suburbs navigate the insurance roof claim process.

New Residential Roof Replacement with GAF Timberline UHDZ Shingles in Batavia

Leave Relpy

GAF Timberline HDZ shingle roof BataviaWe recently wrapped up a shingle roof replacement for a homeowner in Batavia, IL. At first glance, the roof looked mostly fine — some granule loss, a few spots that seemed weathered. But once we got up there, it was clear the wear was more than surface-level. That’s often the case after a stretch of rough weather. A quick inspection can reveal hidden damage you’d never catch from the driveway.

This kind of situation is common around here. Homeowners might notice something’s off after a season of heavy rain or hail, even if there’s no obvious leak. That’s why it’s worth having your roof checked out — especially if it’s been a while or if you’ve heard the clatter of hail on the gutters lately. A hail roof replacement isn’t always something people expect, but catching issues early can save you a ton of trouble down the road.

For this Batavia project, the homeowner decided to upgrade to GAF Timberline UHDZ shingles. They’re impact-resistant, thick, and built to take a beating. Not only do they offer solid protection from hail damage, but they also look great and come with strong warranties. We’ve also installed Malarkey shingles on other local homes — another solid choice, especially if you’re aiming for long-term durability and hail resistance. Their rubberized asphalt design helps absorb impact instead of cracking under pressure.

Some folks assume a metal roof is a one-and-done solution, but even those can take a hit. Metal roof hail damage is real — large hail can leave dents or knock loose fasteners, which messes with both looks and performance. No roof is totally immune. That’s why routine inspections matter, no matter what material you’ve got overhead.

If you’re in Batavia or nearby and haven’t had your roof looked at in a while, now’s a good time. Whether you’re considering hail resistant shingles, curious about GAF Timberline UHDZ or Malarkey shingles, or just want peace of mind, we’re here to help.
