Streamwood: The Place and the Roofs

Streamwood is a northwest suburb in Cook County with 39,577 residents at the 2020 census. It was incorporated as a village on February 9, 1957, and it's one of the three Tri Village communities with Bartlett and Hanover Park.

Streamwood has some of the more specific reroofing rules in the area. The village code amends the roof sheathing and ice barrier requirements, so a roof here comes with local conditions that the permit review checks.

Storm History for Streamwood: 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 Streamwood. A report in Cook County or in a nearby town is context, not proof that a roof here was hit.

On June 24, 2026, NOAA lists a 70 mph gust at Streamwood, 1.5-inch hail at Huntley and an EF-0 tornado at Harmony in McHenry County, in reports across Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane and McHenry counties. Source: NOAA Storm Events, Streamwood gust.

Storm Damage Roofing Services for Streamwood

Every Streamwood 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 Streamwood 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 Streamwood

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 Streamwood 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.

Streamwood asks contractors to be licensed with the village and to file a signed Consumer Rights Acknowledgement from the homeowner before it issues a permit. A roofer who has never heard of that form hasn't pulled many Streamwood permits.

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 Streamwood

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 approved 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 Streamwood and nearby towns including Hoffman Estates, Elgin, South Elgin, and Schaumburg. Our in-house crews carry the same GAF warranty coverage on every project.

Roofing Permits in Streamwood

What the Village of Streamwood Community Development Department publishes about a reroof, checked October 22, 2026:

• Permit for a reroof: Required. The village's permit page says permits are required to repair or replace a roof, and that roof permits may be issued at the time of application unless more information is needed. Call (630) 736-3843. Source
• Ice barrier and drip edge: The village code requires a self-adhering ice barrier from the eave edge to at least 24 inches inside the exterior wall line and 24 inches each side of valleys. Drip edge is required along eaves and gable ends unless the gutter provides approved flashing. Source
• Roof sheathing: The code calls for at least 1/2 inch CDX plywood on roofs and says chipboard (OSB) or particleboard shall not be used in roof applications. Source
• Fee: The village says roof permit fees depend on the number of inspections. A dollar figure isn't published on the pages we checked. Source
• Contractor paperwork: Contractors must be licensed with the village and file an Illinois Attorney General Consumer Rights Acknowledgement form signed by the homeowner to pull a permit. Source
