What South Elgin property owners should know
Chicagoland storms cause damage that is frequently invisible from the ground. Hail impact leaves granule loss and bruising on shingle surfaces that can only be accurately assessed from the roof. Wind events displace flashing and create micro-tears in shingle adhesion without moving a single visible shingle. Ice damming forces water under roofing systems and into wall cavities — with interior damage appearing weeks after the event.
