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.

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.
