Local storm history
Why Darien roofs take a beating
The Great Lakes states get the full range of severe weather: spring and summer supercells bring hail and damaging straight-line winds, occasional tornadoes track through, and winter piles on ice and heavy snow load. Wind and hail are the roof claims that recur every season. In Darien and the surrounding DuPage County area, wind and hail damage is most common during the spring–summer severe season. Because storm damage is highly localized, one side of a ZIP can be hit hard while the next street is untouched — a free inspection is the only way to know.
Storm climate summarized from public NOAA/NWS and insurance-industry reporting. This is general regional context, not a guarantee your specific property was affected — a free inspection confirms your damage.
