LIMITED roofing license — "a license made available to contractors whose roofing business is limited to roofing residential properties consisting of 8 units or less" (225 ILCS 335/2(h)).

The Illinois roofing license page sets out who issues it, what it costs to hold and how to verify one. A credential can be checked on the authority's own site.
When is storm season in Illinois?
Illinois's peak severe-weather season: April–July. The roofing work it generates comes from straight-line wind, hail, tornadoes and snow load and winter storms. The Illinois storm center lists any National Weather Service alert active now. NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 11,307 county-level severe-weather events across Illinois between 2016 and 2026, including 959 tornadoes and 2,527 hail reports of 1.00 in or larger; the heaviest county record is Cook County's, with 864 events. The most recent event in the state meeting the dataset's severity definition was a hail report measuring 2.00 in (Baseball) in Clinton County on August 22, 2026, a preliminary report not yet through NOAA's quality-control review. Season boundaries are National Weather Service climatology for the state, not a forecast for any one property.
