Storm History for Roselle: What the Public Records Say

We only cite storms that NWS Chicago or the Storm Prediction Center documented, and we say plainly when a write-up doesn't name Roselle. A report in DuPage County or in a nearby town is context, not proof that a roof here was hit.

Storm Damage Roofing Services for Roselle

Every Roselle project starts with a Haag-certified inspector on the roof deck. They walk each slope, press-test for bruising and mat fractures, check flashings, pipe boots and vents, and photograph the damage. The inspection takes about 45 minutes and produces a report formatted for an insurance submission. The report is yours whether or not you hire us. Our post on what hail damage looks like explains what the inspector looks for.

For Roselle homes with confirmed damage, C&N handles storm restoration from tear-off through final inspection: removing damaged shingles to the deck, replacing bad decking and underlayment, and installing GAF Timberline HDZ shingles with ice and water barrier at the eaves and valleys. Flashings, pipe boots and drip edge are replaced new. Siding, gutters and soffit are included when the claim covers them.

If water is coming in, don't wait for paperwork. Our emergency repair crews can tarp or seal a breach to keep the interior dry. For the steps on a claim, see how to file a roof insurance claim.

Insurance Claims in Roselle

We're roofing contractors, not public adjusters. Your claim is between you and your carrier. What C&N does is document the damage, meet the adjuster on your roof and scope the work.

We recommend a Haag-certified inspection before you call your insurance company. A report with hit counts, measurements and slope-by-slope photos gives you facts before you talk to a carrier. When the adjuster comes, we're on the roof walking through the findings. If the adjuster's scope leaves out documented damage, we send supporting photos and a written scope for a supplement. Carriers handle supplements routinely.

If a claim is denied or underpaid, Illinois law gives you options: ask for a re-inspection, hire a licensed public adjuster, or invoke the appraisal clause in your policy. We can tell you which path fits your situation, but we can't promise how it will turn out.

Why Roselle Homeowners Need a Local Contractor

After any big storm in Chicagoland, out-of-town crews show up and knock on doors. The problem isn't always the workmanship. It's what happens when you find a leak a year later, or when your insurer asks for documentation, and the company that signed your contract has no office to call.

Roselle requires every contractor to register, post a bond and file insurance before pulling a permit. Ask any roofer who knocks for proof of that registration.

C&N Construction is headquartered in Hillside, IL and has been at the same address since 2015. Over 25,400 completed projects across Chicagoland, W-2 crews instead of subcontractors, GAF Master Elite with Golden Pledge warranty coverage, Haag-certified inspectors, a BBB A+ rating and a 4.6 Google review average.

Class 4 Shingles in Roselle

When a roof is being replaced through an insurance claim, you can usually upgrade to the impact-rated option by paying the difference between the standard material and the Class 4 product. Timberline HDZ is our standard architectural shingle. The impact-rated option is GAF Timberline UHDZ with UltraMat, which GAF rates UL 2218 Class 4 when sold in the marked packages (GAF, checked October 2026). No shingle is hail-proof, and large stones will damage any roofing material.

Some insurers offer a premium discount for a UL 2218 Class 4 roof, and the amount varies by carrier and policy, so ask your agent before you choose.

We serve Roselle and nearby towns including Bloomingdale, Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, and Carol Stream. Our in-house crews carry the same GAF warranty coverage on every project.
