- Storm damage hides at the edges. That's what gets missed.
- New decking whenever it's needed, never a layover.
- Local, licensed, and permanently here to honor the warranty.

Hail inspection and the insurance pathWhat Alsip Roofs Are Made Of
Alsip is a Cook County village. The CMAP Community Data Snapshot, built from 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey estimates, counts 7,881 housing units. About 54% are detached single-family homes. Another 28% are in buildings of 5 to 19 units. The median home was built in 1975 (CMAP snapshot).
That makes Alsip younger than most of Cook County. CMAP puts 42% of Alsip's housing in the 1970 to 1989 bracket and 34% in 1940 to 1969, while only 3% predates 1940. A roof on a 1970s or 1980s house is often on its second or third layer of shingles. The deck under an older roof has had decades of attic moisture, and a tear-off is the only way to see it.
For the apartment and condo buildings, the roof question is different. Flat and low-slope roofs on 5 to 19 unit buildings are owned by an association or a landlord, not the individual unit owner, and a storm claim usually runs through the building's policy.
Storm History in Alsip
NWS Chicago's write-up of the June 10, 2026 northern Illinois derecho lists Alsip by name. NOAA Storm Events lists a highest gust of 70 mph in our counties, at Stickney in Cook County, and an EF-0 tornado from Crestwood to Alsip that the NWS write-up places near Palos Heights and Alsip (NWS Chicago, June 10, 2026 derecho). Wind damage to shingles shows up as creased, lifted or missing tabs, often along ridges and rakes, and it is easy to miss from the ground.
The verified 2026 events for Cook County appear in the storm box above, each with its own date and source. A derecho report does not mean your roof was hit, and it does not mean it wasn't. Only someone on the roof can say.
Reroof Permits in Alsip
The Village of Alsip Building Department is at 4500 W. 123rd Street and runs the permits and inspections for residential work (Alsip Building Department page, checked October 22, 2026). Call 708-385-6902.
The village's building permit application has a roofing contractor line and a permit fee line. Beyond that, Alsip does not publish a reroof permit page, a fee for roofing, a shingle layer limit or an ice barrier rule on the pages we checked. We list those as not published. The village does license roofing contractors, and it posts a list of them (roofing license list, 2022 copy). Confirm with the department before work starts.
Storm Damage Roofing Services for Alsip
Every Alsip project starts with a Haag-certified inspector on the roof deck. They walk each slope, press-test for bruising and mat fractures, examine every flashing, pipe boot and vent, and photograph the damage. The inspection takes about 45 minutes and produces a report you can hand to your insurance company. The report is yours whether or not you hire us. Our post on identifying hail damage explains what we look for.
For Alsip homes with confirmed damage, storm restoration means tear-off to the deck, replacing any bad decking and underlayment, ice and water barrier at eaves and in valleys, and new flashings, pipe boots, drip edge and ridge ventilation. Active leaks shouldn't wait for paperwork. Our emergency repair team can tarp or seal a breach to keep water out.
Insurance and Your Alsip Roof
C&N documents the damage, meets your adjuster on the roof and scopes the work. We're roofing contractors, not public adjusters, and we don't negotiate your claim for you. Your policy and your carrier set the terms.
If a claim is denied or comes in low, you can ask for a re-inspection, invoke the appraisal clause in your policy, or hire a licensed public adjuster. Our guide to filing a roof insurance claim walks through the steps.

Why Alsip Homeowners Need a Local Contractor
After a big storm, out-of-town crews knock doors, push for signed contracts, and are gone before the first leak call. A storm chaser's warranty is backed by nothing. The village licenses roofing contractors, so ask any roofer who knocks for their Alsip license number.
C&N Construction is headquartered in Hillside, IL, and has been at the same address since 2015. It has completed over 25,400 projects across Chicagoland, uses W-2 crews rather than subcontractors, and holds the GAF Master Elite designation with Golden Pledge limited warranty coverage. BBB A+ rating, 4.6 Google review average.
We also serve Oak Lawn, Palos Heights, Midlothian, Burbank, and the rest of the south suburbs. Our in-house crews carry the same GAF warranty coverage on every project.
On an approved storm claim, your out-of-pocket cost in Alsip for the covered work is your deductible. Your policy sets it: often a flat amount such as $1,000 to $2,500, and for wind and hail frequently a percentage of dwelling coverage (1% to 2%). Paying cash, most residential roof replacements land between $14,000 and $25,000 depending on the size of the home, with larger or complex roofs running higher and repairs starting around $400.
What moves the number
Roof size and pitch, tear-off layers, decking condition, and material tier. Every quote is itemized line by line, so you can see which one is moving yours.
What a normal job includes
Tear-off and disposal, underlayment and ice and water shield, flashing and drip edge, ridge venting, cleanup with magnetic sweeps, the permit, and warranty registration.
Full pricing detail: replacement costs, repair costs, and how we get paid when the inspection is free. Insurance figures assume a covered peril and approved claim; your policy controls. The only out-of-pocket surprises we allow are the ones we disclose first: rotted decking and upgrades you choose.

On a recent insurance-funded roof, the carrier's first estimate missed 292 linear feet of gutter work. Our documented supplement recovered it: a $2,928 line added to the carrier's own estimate, with photos attached. And when we didn't complete a $13.81 downspout item on another project, the final invoice showed a $13.81 credit. Itemized in both directions, every time. The actual documents are on our billing transparency page.

A handyman is fine when
One slipped shingle on a young roof, a gutter re-hang, or a small cash fix under a few hundred dollars. No claim involved, no documentation needed. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a truck roll.
Call us when
Storm damage, anything slope-wide, a replacement, or any job where insurance is paying, because that's a documentation job as much as a roofing job. Weighing whether to file at all? The break-even math is here.
It's urgent when
Water is inside, decking is exposed, or a tree is on the roof. Emergency tarping runs 24/7, and the tarp decision is separate from choosing your replacement contractor, so don't let anyone bundle the two at your door.
How It Works When You Say Yes
No-risk contract. You sign a contingency agreement. Work starts after insurance approves the claim. If it doesn't go through, you owe nothing.
Your budget, your call. You can spec down the project to match your insurance payout exactly. You won't pay for unapproved work unless you tell us to order it before the approval.
We call you first. If there's a gap between our recommendation and insurance, we call you. The only reasons you'd pay extra are damaged lumber or a luxury shingle upgrade.
