In Des Plaines, a Cook County suburb, the best time to replace a roof is late May through September, when temperatures stay above 45°F and freeze thaw risks have passed, avoiding April chills, winter snow, and afternoon summer thunderstorms and humid heat.Insurance & Storms
How common are storm-related roof claims in Des Plaines, Illinois?
Storm related roof claims in Des Plaines are fairly common, peaking spring and summer from hail and high winds, and in winter from ice and heavy snow.
