Storm Exposure in DuPage County
DuPage County has taken a heavy share of recent hail activity, and much of its housing stock presents large uninterrupted roof planes that catch wind squarely. When a seal strip lets go on a plane that size, the damage tends to propagate rather than stay local.
The county's mix of compact postwar streets and later large-footprint subdivisions means two very different inspection approaches. Older roofs are usually about material fatigue; newer ones are usually about installation detail at valleys, sidewalls and penetrations.
You can confirm the date of a local storm through the National Weather Service Chicago event summaries.

Yes. If a slope is open to the weather we tarp or dry-in first to stop interior damage, then scope the permanent repair once the roof is stable and the weather allows.
