Orland Park, Joliet, Oak Lawn and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard with hail, some the size of golf balls!
How Hail Can Damage Your Home:
Roof Damage: This is the most common concern. Hail can cause bruising or cracking in asphalt shingles and dent metal roofs. Over time, this damage can lead to leaks and reduce the lifespan of your roof.
Window and Skylight Breakage: Larger hailstones can break windows and skylights, leading to immediate water damage and potential security risks.
Siding and Paint Damage: Vinyl siding, aluminum cladding, and exterior paint are not immune to hail. High-velocity hailstones can leave dents and chips that might require patching or replacement.
Gutter System: Hail can dent gutters and downspouts, affecting their functionality and possibly causing water to improperly drain away from your home.
If hail has recently affected your area, contact Greater Midwest Exteriors to inspect your property for damage.
