Bolingbrook sat directly inside both the March 10 and April 14, 2026 hail storm zones. We're already registered with the Village, handle every step of the permit, and back every install with a lifetime warranty. Showroom 15 minutes south in Joliet — easy to stop by.
Two major hail events in five weeks this spring, on top of the 2024 derecho and earlier hail. If your roof was damaged in any of these and you haven't filed yet, you may still be inside the 12-month window.
A second major hail event swept through Chicagoland just five weeks after March 10, adding roughly 200,000 affected homes regionally. Bolingbrook and the I-355 corridor were directly in-path. Claim window open through April 2027.
One of the largest hail events to hit the Chicago metro in recent memory. Will and DuPage counties — including Bolingbrook — were inside the impact zone. Roof damage from this storm is currently the most active claim category we're working. Claim window open through March 2027.
High winds and quarter-plus size hail across the I-355 / I-55 corridor. Many Bolingbrook homeowners filed successful claims following this event.
A derecho produced widespread wind damage across northern Illinois along with a record 32 confirmed tornadoes — the largest single-day total in NWS Chicago history. Wind-lifted shingles and torn underlayment are still showing up as fresh claims.
Supercells produced large hail across northern Illinois and the southwest suburbs. The 12-month claim window for this event has now closed, but earlier-filed claims may still be in process.
Wind damage across the area produced shingle loss, lifted ridge caps, and compromised flashings on homes throughout Will and DuPage counties.
Unlike some neighboring cities, the Village of Bolingbrook does require a building permit for roof replacement, and it's a real process — contractors must be registered with the Village (with a $20,000 surety bond), inspections need to be scheduled at least 3 business days in advance with the Building Division at (630) 226-8470, and Bolingbrook follows the 2021 IBC, 2021 IRC, and 2020 NEC.
That's actually good news for homeowners. The permit and inspection process exists to protect you — and because the IRC sets minimum standards for matching, deck condition, ice-and-water shield, and ventilation, an honest re-roof often can't be done as a partial repair without violating code. That documented code compliance is exactly what insurance carriers need to see to approve a full replacement. We're already registered with the Village and handle every step.
We have a full showroom at Louis Joliet Mall, just 15 minutes south of Bolingbrook down I-55. Stop by to see shingle samples, premium synthetics, metal options, and meet our team in person. Or skip the trip — we'll bring samples to your driveway.

We don't just look for damage — we understand how insurance restoration actually works and what it takes to get full roof replacement approved.
We climb on your roof and document all storm damage, including damage that's often missed by others. We look at every component: shingles, metal vents, flashing, and gutters.
This is where our expertise makes the difference. We evaluate three key factors: Can replacement materials properly integrate with your existing roof? Can repairs be made without causing additional damage? Can the roof be restored to its original appearance?
If we find damage that can't be properly repaired, we document everything for your insurance company. We explain why limited repairs won't restore your roof and provide evidence for full replacement.
The key insight: Insurance companies start with the smallest possible repair. But if that repair can't restore your roof without causing damage or using mismatched materials, they owe more. That's where our expertise makes the difference.
As certified contractors with major shingle manufacturers, we offer extended warranties and access to premium materials that aren't available to every contractor.
We're not fly-by-night storm chasers. We've been registered with the Village of Bolingbrook and licensed in Illinois since 2017 — with transparent communication, attention to detail, and warranties we actually honor.
Illinois licenses #104.019489 and #105.009527, current liability insurance, $20K surety bond, and registered with the Village of Bolingbrook. We can pull a permit today — out-of-state storm chasers can't.
We keep you informed at every step. No wondering what's happening with your claim, when the inspection is scheduled, or when work will be completed.
We don't file claims on hope — we file with documented evidence of why repairs won't work and full replacement is needed. That matters most when claims volume is this high and adjusters are stretched thin.
Manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty on materials, plus our 5-year workmanship warranty. We stand behind every installation.
Our Joliet showroom is a quick drive down I-55. Real address, real samples, real team — the things storm chasers can't show you because they don't have any of them.
