Severe Hailstorm Hits Schaumburg in May 2025
On May 15th, 2025, a fast-moving hailstorm swept through Schaumburg and neighboring communities, bringing with it intense winds and large hailstones. Residents in the area reported hail as large as 1.75 inches, with damage affecting roofing, siding, windows, and more. Storms like this are no small matter—they can compromise the integrity of your home and go unnoticed until problems escalate.
At Canga Roofing, we’ve seen firsthand how damaging storms like this can be, and we’re here to help homeowners respond quickly and confidently.
Areas Most Affected
Schaumburg was at the center of the storm, but nearby communities including Hoffman Estates, Orland Park, and Palatine also experienced heavy impact. Neighborhoods with older roofs or unprotected siding may be especially vulnerable to damage after hail of this size. In addition to servicing Illinois communities, Canga Roofing is also actively working with homeowners in Merrillville, Indiana, who were affected by the same storm system.
What Kind of Damage Can Hail Cause?
We often hear homeowners say, “I didn’t see anything major,” but hail damage isn’t always obvious from the ground. After storms like this, we typically see:
Asphalt shingles with granule loss or cracking
Vinyl siding with holes, dents, or stress fractures
Damaged windows, broken seals, or cracked frames
Gutters or downspouts knocked out of alignment
Even if your roof looks “okay,” hidden damage can lead to long-term issues like leaks, water damage, or mold growth.
What Should You Do After a Storm?
If your home was in the path of the hailstorm, here are a few important steps to take:
Walk around the property and document what you can see.
Avoid climbing on the roof yourself, it’s dangerous and easy to miss subtle damage.
Schedule a professional inspection with a reputable, local contractor.
Canga Roofing offers free storm inspections because we believe in helping our neighbors protect what matters most—their homes and families.
