Spring and summer storms across the northwest suburbs regularly bring hail. When they do, the damage to your roof, gutters and vents needs to be documented before you file an insurance claim.

Hail Damage Roof Repair for Arlington Heights Homes

Arlington Heights has one of the widest ranges of housing in the northwest suburbs: older homes on the tree-lined streets around downtown, post-war ranches and Cape Cods, 1960s and 1970s two-stories, and a steady stream of teardowns being replaced with large new homes.

Long, low ranch rooflines often still sit on their original 1950s or 1960s board decking. We regularly find two layers of shingles, undersized attic ventilation and low-slope additions that were never flashed properly into the main roof. Two-story homes mean tall eaves, long gutter runs and steeper pitches. Safety staging and careful valley work matter more, and wind takes a bigger toll on high, exposed slopes. New construction on teardown lots brings large, complex roofs right next to older homes, so a single street can have everything from original ranches to brand-new architectural shingles.

Signs You Need Hail Damage Roof Repair in Arlington Heights

These are the warning signs we get called about most often in Arlington Heights:

• Dented siding, window screens or a car in the driveway
• Neighbors getting roof inspections after the same storm
• Dark, circular bruises on shingles where granules were knocked off
• Dents in gutters, downspouts, vents and metal flashing
• Cracked or split shingles after a storm

How Our Hail Damage Roof Repair Process Works

1. Post-storm inspection We check every slope plus the soft metals (vents, gutters, flashing) that show hail size and direction.
2. Photo documentation Each damaged area is photographed and marked so you have clear evidence for your insurer.
3. Help with the adjuster If you file a claim, we can meet the adjuster on the roof and walk through the damage.
4. Repair or replace Damaged sections are repaired, or the roof is replaced if the damage is widespread.

It’s the same process we use on every job. Read more about how our hail damage roof repair service works.

What Quality Hail Damage Roof Repair Involves

Don't wait after a storm

Hail-damaged shingles can look fine for months, then start losing granules and leaking. Having the roof inspected soon after the storm protects both the house and your claim timeline.

Functional vs. cosmetic damage

Hail that breaks the shingle mat or knocks granules down to the asphalt is functional damage. It shortens the roof’s life and can lead to leaks. Light marks on metal without shingle damage are often cosmetic. Insurers treat the two very differently, so we document which is which.

What to Expect on Job Day in Arlington Heights

We tell you what time the crew arrives, what to move away from the house and how long the work will take. When we’re done, the yard is swept for nails and you get before-and-after photos. If your Arlington Heights home is in an HOA, we can help with any approval paperwork the association needs.

Permits for Hail Damage Roof Repair in Arlington Heights

Small hail damage roof repair jobs often don’t need a permit, but larger repairs can. Arlington Heights treats a single-family asphalt shingle re-roof as an over-the-counter permit. The application needs the contractor’s proposal with scope and cost, the village’s Single-Family Asphalt Shingle Re-Roofing Requirements acknowledgment form, and a State of Illinois roofing license, and a completion affidavit closes out the permit. If a roof already has two or more layers of covering, the old layers must come off before new shingles go on. Village of Arlington Heights, 33 S. Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, IL 60005.

Under the Illinois Roofing Industry Licensing Act, a municipality that requires a roofing permit may only issue it to a contractor who shows proof of a State of Illinois roofing license. We handle the paperwork, schedule the inspections, and leave the permit card posted where the village wants it.

Weather and Your Arlington Heights Roof

Between summer thunderstorms with hail, strong winds that lift shingle edges, and winter ice dams at the eaves, roofs in the northwest suburbs take more abuse than the age on the paperwork suggests.

What Affects the Cost of Hail Damage Roof Repair in Arlington Heights

Every Arlington Heights home is different, so we price hail damage roof repair after we’ve seen the roof. The biggest factors are:

• whether the storm damage triggers a full replacement
• how many slopes have functional (not just cosmetic) damage
• whether soft metals such as gutters, vents and flashing also need replacing
• your insurance deductible and claim outcome

Your written estimate lists each item separately. For replacements, our roof replacement cost calculator gives you a starting point.
