Roof Damage – Severe Storms & Hail

Residents of the Chicago suburbs are all too familiar with the type of damage that hail storms can cause, but when it comes to roof hail damage, you may need to call a professional.

Many homeowners make the mistake of only looking for damage in the form of missing shingles. However, there could be damage underneath the shingles which can cause leaks to occur well after the storm has passed. If you are unsure of whether your roof or gutters have been damaged, look around at your landscaping to see if hail has blistered any nearby trees or shrubs. When hail is strong enough to do damage to these elements, chances are, you also have some sort of roof hail damage.

Golf ball-sized hail and 60-mph winds were recorded in the severe storm blast. Identifying whether your roof, siding or windows have sustained damage from a hail storm may be difficult.
