Get Your Hail and Wind Damage Roof Inspection ASAP Jun 16, 2025

Springfield, Illinois, and nearby Pittsfield know all too well the fury of Mother Nature. On March 14, 2025, Pittsfield was pummeled by 1.75-inch hail — golf-ball-sized stones that left roofs, siding, and gutters battered across the region. Combine that with the high winds that often sweep through Central Illinois, and homeowners are left wondering: “How bad is the damage, and what do I do next?” At Capital City Roofing and Solar, a veteran-owned roofing company with deep family roots in Pittsfield, we’re here to help. With a complimentary inspection, expert insurance guidance, and top-tier roofing solutions, we’ll give you peace of mind — and a roof that lasts.Wind and Hail: The Silent Roof DestroyersCentral Illinois weather doesn’t mess around. Wind can rip shingles clean off, exposing your roof to leaks, while hail — even smaller than the 1.75-inch monsters that hit Pittsfield — can crack, bruise, or puncture roofing materials. Over time, these damages weaken your home’s first line of defense, letting water sneak in and wreak havoc. In Springfield, Pittsfield, and surrounding towns like Chatham and Jacksonville, storm damage isn’t just a possibility — it’s a reality we face every season.The trouble is, storm damage isn’t always obvious. A few missing granules or a hairline crack might not scream “emergency,” but it’s enough to void your roof’s warranty or cause bigger problems down the road. That’s where we come in.How Capital City Roofing and Solar Can Help After the StormAs a veteran-owned business with ties to Pittsfield and a home base in Springfield, we’ve seen the toll storms take on local homes.
