Schedule Consultation / InspectionRecent Hail Activity in Homewood, Illinois
Homewood experienced hail during the severe weather that affected the area on July 27, 2026. A CoCoRaHS observation station identified as Homewood 0.1 ESE reported hail beginning before a nearby tornado, with the largest hail reported at approximately 1 inch in diameter.
The observer reported that hail lasted approximately 10 minutes and noted small dents and dings to vehicles as well as shredded leaves. The report was submitted after the event because of tornado cleanup.
The National Weather Service confirmed that the July 27 severe-weather event produced damaging hail, multiple tornadoes, and destructive straight-line winds across the Chicago metropolitan area.
A storm report does not establish damage to every individual property. The condition of your roof should be determined through a property-specific inspection.
Why Hail Damage Should Be Evaluated
Hail can strike roofing materials with significant force. Depending on the size of the hail, the roofing material, the age of the roof, and other conditions, impacts may affect shingles or other exposed components.
Hail damage is not always obvious from the ground. Some impact-related conditions may require a closer inspection of the roofing surface and other exterior components.
If your Homewood property experienced a significant hailstorm, a professional evaluation can help determine whether visible storm-related conditions are present and whether repair or further evaluation may be appropriate.

Hail impacts can affect the surface and condition of asphalt shingles and other roofing materials.

Possible Signs of Hail Damage to Your Roof

Visible Impact Marks
Certain hail impacts may leave visible marks or changes to roofing materials.
Damaged Roofing Materials

Damaged Gutters
Dents or other visible impacts to gutters can be an indication that a property experienced hail.

Hail Damage Roof Repair or Replacement?
Hail damage does not automatically mean that an entire roof needs to be replaced. The appropriate solution depends on the actual condition of the roofing system and the extent of the damage.
When Roof Repair May Be Appropriate
If damage is limited and the existing roofing system remains suitable for repair, targeted repairs may be considered.
When Replacement May Be Considered
Extensive damage, significant deterioration, or other conditions may make roof replacement a more appropriate long-term solution.
Existing Roof Condition
The age, condition, materials, and prior condition of the roofing system can be relevant when determining the appropriate solution.
Property-Specific Evaluation
The final repair approach should be based on the actual condition of the individual property rather than the storm alone.

What If Hail Damage Has Caused a Roof Leak?
Significant hail or a combination of hail and high winds can leave roofing materials damaged or exposed. If your roof is actively leaking after a storm, the situation may require prompt attention.
Avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. From a safe location, document visible damage and arrange a professional evaluation.
Hail and Wind Damage Can Occur During the Same Storm
Severe thunderstorms can produce multiple types of damaging weather. A single storm system may produce hail, strong winds, tornadoes, heavy rain, and other hazards.
For that reason, a property that has experienced a significant hailstorm may also benefit from an evaluation for wind-related roofing conditions.
Hail Damage to Homewood Exterior Components
A hailstorm can affect more than the roof. Depending on the storm and the materials involved, other exposed portions of a property may also require evaluation.
Siding
Hail impacts can affect certain siding materials and exterior surfaces.
Gutters and Downspouts
Exposed gutters and downspouts can sustain dents or other impacts during a hailstorm.
Soffit and Fascia
Roof-edge components can also be affected by severe weather.
Roof-Mounted Components
Vents and other exposed roof-mounted components can be evaluated for visible impact damage.
Homewood Hail and Severe Weather Activity
The July 27, 2026 storm system produced damaging hail and severe winds throughout the southern Chicago suburbs. The National Weather Service reported hail up to 3 inches somewhere within its forecast area during the event, along with multiple confirmed tornadoes and extensive straight-line wind damage.
In Homewood specifically, the Homewood 0.1 ESE CoCoRaHS station documented approximately 1-inch hail during the July 27 event. The observation included reports of vehicle dents and shredded leaves.
The broader Homewood area also experienced significant wind and tornado impacts during the same severe-weather event. NWS documented extensive tree damage immediately around Homewood, including trees falling onto or near structures.
Storm reports describe specific observations and do not establish damage to every individual property. A professional inspection is necessary to determine the condition of a particular roof.
