This Is What a Documented Roof Looks Like
Real footage from our crews, not stock. The inspection that documents every layer for your claim, the tear-off down to the deck with new wood wherever it's needed, and the roof that goes back on built for the next storm.
- 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 Palos Park Roofs Are Made Of
Palos Park is a low-density Cook County village. Its draft development code describes the R-1 district as an established pattern of single-family homes on relatively large lots of one acre or more, with older lots in the eastern part of the village that are smaller (Palos Park Development Code, public hearing draft, September 2025).
The village also has a Historic Preservation Commission (Building Department page), and a Western Growth Area Master Plan that anticipates new housing on annexed land (Western Growth Area Master Plan). We found no public source giving a village-wide housing age figure, so we don't state one.
Larger homes on large lots often have bigger, more complicated roofs, with multiple pitches and skylights. Pricing, matching and leak tracing on a roof like that take more time than on a simple ranch. If your home is on a historic or architecturally distinctive property, check with the village before choosing a material.
Storm History in Palos Park
None of the 2026 events in our storm records names Palos Park. The June 10, 2026 derecho write-up lists Palos Heights, where NWS confirmed a brief EF-0 tornado, and Palos Heights is less than two miles east (NWS Chicago, June 10, 2026 derecho). The Cook County events in the box above, apply to Palos Park too.
A limb through the roof is a wind or falling object claim. A roof that sits under heavy shade stays damp and grows moss and algae faster. Neither is hail damage, and an inspection separates them.
Reroof Permits in Palos Park
The Village of Palos Park Building Department is at 8999 W. 123rd Street (Applications & Forms, checked October 22, 2026). Call 708-671-3730 or email permits@palospark.org.
The department tells homeowners to call before starting any interior or exterior improvement, because depending on the work a permit may be required. It requires contractors and tradesmen to be licensed in the village. The village publishes no roofing-specific permit page, fee, layer limit or ice barrier rule, so those are not published.
Storm Damage Roofing Services for Palos Park
Every Palos Park 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 Palos Park 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 Palos Park 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 decide what is covered.
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 Palos Park 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 requires contractors and tradesmen to be licensed in Palos Park, and the Building Department will confirm a registration by phone.
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 Palos Heights, Orland Park, Homer Glen, and the rest of the southwest 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 Palos Park 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.
