Elgin Roof Pros provides professional hail damage roofing in Elgin, IL for residential and commercial properties across northern Kane and McHenry counties. Hail rarely hits a house evenly. It arrives on a bearing, and the slope facing it takes bruising while the opposite slope stays sound. Everywhere else that produces a slope-by-slope repair. In Elgin it produces a paperwork problem, and it is worth understanding before an adjuster arrives.
The city discourages installations of random and varied shingle types and colors, and requires any such installation to be submitted to the building official for review before work begins. A three-year-old shingle that has weathered next to a brand new one is precisely that. So the matching question is not aesthetic here, it is a review the city may want to run. The review is the building official's, not ours, and it happens before work starts.
We test the way a competent adjuster does: soft metal first. Gutter aprons, vent caps, downspout faces and the counterflashing on a chimney dent when shingles are only bruised, and the pattern on those tells you the direction and the stone size. A bruise on the shingle itself is a soft spot with a broken mat under it, not a missing granule patch, and the difference decides whether anything is owed.
On a landmark or district property, an original slate, clay tile or pressed metal roof changes the calculation completely. Those materials shrug off stones that would total an asphalt roof, and the guidelines want them repaired and preserved rather than replaced. Individual cracked slates come out with a ripper and go back on hooks. That is a repair measured in tiles, not in squares.
We do not canvass neighborhoods after a hail event and we do not bring our own adjuster to your kitchen table. If you want an inspection you can call for one. Nobody from this company will ring your bell the week after a storm. The trucks with out-of-state plates parked three deep on a Carpentersville street in July are not the people to hand a roof to.
And if the roof took a beating cosmetically but the mat is intact everywhere we probe, that goes in the report as a finding. A denied claim that was never a claim costs you nothing. A roof torn off because someone wanted the job costs you the years it had left. The mat is what carries the roof, not the granule layer people photograph. A denial you were told to expect is not a disappointment.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — sawn cedar shingles laid over a complete tear-off rather than split shakes, pressed metal shingle panels resoldered at the lap instead of stripped off, half-round hanging gutter with round leaders held to six inches or under, architectural laminate shingles in dark gray, black, brown or dark red, flat-seam metal panels soldered watertight on visible low-slope porch roofs, step flashing woven course by course in place of a saw kerf filled with trim — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Elgin and nearby communities including Carpentersville, West Dundee, East Dundee, Sleepy Hollow.

Materials, equipment and how we do hail damage roofing
The difference between hail damage roofing that lasts and hail damage roofing that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with sawn cedar shingles laid over a complete tear-off rather than split shakes, pressed metal shingle panels resoldered at the lap instead of stripped off, half-round hanging gutter with round leaders held to six inches or under, architectural laminate shingles in dark gray, black, brown or dark red, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Elgin job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in northern Kane and McHenry counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Elgin Chooses Elgin Roof Pros
- ✓We count layers at the eave before pricing, because two or more means a full tear-off under the code Elgin enforces and no re-cover is available to you.
- ✓Certificate applications are drawn from the same scope we quote from, so the material and color on the approval match the material and color on your contract.
- ✓We do not order shingles before an approval is in hand, since any change to approved work has to be re-approved before materials are bought.
- ✓Our flashing is metal at every wall, valley, chimney and penetration, because the guideline manual specifically rejects caulk and bituminous coating as a substitute.
