Cook County and the Chicago northwest suburbs are among the most storm-active regions in Illinois. Every spring and summer, powerful thunderstorm systems tracking northeast through the Chicago area bring large hail (1" and above) and damaging straight-line winds exceeding 60 mph. Areas like Des Plaines, Schaumburg, Palatine, Elgin, and Arlington Heights have all experienced significant hail events in recent years.
Hail damage to asphalt shingles is often subtle and invisible from the ground — but it compromises the waterproof layer of your roof, leading to leaks within 1–3 years. A licensed contractor can spot damage you'd never see yourself, document it properly, and help you file a successful insurance claim.

In the Chicago area, hail as small as 3/4 inch can cause functional damage to asphalt shingles, though 1" and above is typically what insurance companies consider significant. Even if the hail seemed small, an inspection is worth doing — our licensed contractor knows exactly what to look for.
Most standard homeowner's insurance policies in Illinois cover storm damage from hail and wind. Your contractor is experienced working with all major carriers including Allstate, State Farm, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, and others. He'll document the damage in the format insurers need.

One storm can compromise your entire roof. A free inspection takes 30–60 minutes and could get you a brand new roof through insurance at no cost beyond your deductible.
