Palatine and the northwest suburban Cook County corridor — including Rolling Meadows, Buffalo Grove, and Vernon Hills — sit directly in the path of powerful thunderstorm systems that track northeast across northeastern Illinois each spring and summer. These storms routinely produce hail up to 1.5" in diameter and wind gusts exceeding 70 mph.
The hidden danger: Asphalt shingles damaged by hail look fine from the street but have compromised granule coverage, allowing UV degradation and water infiltration over time. Within 2–3 years, a "fine" roof becomes a leaking roof. A free professional inspection today protects your home for years to come.

"We had a storm blow through Palatine and our neighbor mentioned the free inspection. your contractor came out, found hail damage on shingles, gutters, and the AC unit. Insurance covered everything. New roof, new gutters — zero out-of-pocket beyond our deductible."
"Very professional. Our contractor walked me through every step with our insurance company. I never had to deal with the insurance adjuster alone — our contractor handled all of it. Rolling Meadows homeowners, this service is the real deal."
"I was skeptical about a 'free' inspection but there truly was no obligation. your contractor found damage and was honest about exactly what my insurance would and wouldn't cover. Got a great new roof in Buffalo Grove at no surprise cost."
Yes — especially if you live in the Palatine, Rolling Meadows, or Buffalo Grove area. Northern Illinois storm cells regularly produce 1"+ hail that damages asphalt shingles in ways that aren't visible from the ground. A free inspection is the only reliable way to know if your roof was damaged.
After you file a claim, your insurance company will send an adjuster to assess damage. StormLead will be present at your adjuster appointment to make sure all damage is properly documented. This is a critical step — having your contractor present at the adjuster visit significantly increases claim success rates.
Most Illinois homeowner's insurance policies allow 1–2 years from the date of the storm to file a claim. However, the sooner you act, the better — storm dates are easier to match, and damage documentation is cleaner. Don't wait.
A typical residential roof inspection takes 30–60 minutes depending on roof size and complexity. your contractor will provide you with a written report and photos of any damage found before he leaves.
We prefer you to be home so we can review the findings with you, but if that's not possible we can arrange to inspect and send you the full report with photos to review at your convenience.
Hail damage left unchecked becomes a leaking roof. A free inspection by a licensed Palatine contractor takes less than an hour and could get you a brand-new roof covered by your insurance.
