Storm restoration in Chicago
Chicago weathers some of the most punishing storm conditions in the Midwest: derechos, record tornado outbreaks, golf-ball hail, and winters that drive ice into every gap in a roof or parapet. When a storm moves through Cook County, it leaves behind a city of century-old brick bungalows, two-flats, and greystones that were built tough but were never designed to be indestructible. We help you assess, document, and restore your home fast.

Local specialists for Chicago storm damage
Chicago sits in one of the most severe-weather-active regions of the Midwest, facing annual threats from derechos, straight-line winds exceeding 75 mph, large hail, and tornadoes. 2024 set a record for the most tornadoes in a single calendar year in the NWS Chicago forecast area, including a July derecho that caused widespread roof and structural damage across Cook County. Summer thunderstorms routinely bring hail capable of stripping shingles and gutters, while spring and fall systems drive basement flooding through aging masonry, and winter adds ice-dam and structural-load damage.

Get helpServing Chicago and Cook County
Chicago's housing is dominated by pre-WWII brick bungalows, two-flats, and greystones. More than 80,000 bungalows alone make up a third of single-family homes, meaning storm restoration here often involves tuck-pointing deteriorated mortar, repairing aging low-pitched roofs, and addressing water infiltration through century-old masonry rather than the vinyl-clad or wood-frame construction common in newer suburbs.
