49 roofing listings are recorded at Elgin, Illinois addresses. Eight of them carry a Google rating taken from the business's own profile, from 3.9 to 5.0, covering 647 reviews in total. The other 41 are address and phone records with no rating attached.
48 of them are recorded in Kane County. Roofing permits and inspections are issued locally rather than by the state, so a re-roof in Elgin goes through Kane County or the municipality's own building department, whichever holds jurisdiction at the property.

Licensing for roofers working in Elgin
Illinois licenses roofing contractors at state level, and the requirement applies to work in Elgin. The license is issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
A state license is not a substitute for local rules: the job still needs a permit and an inspection through Kane County or the city, and some municipalities require their own contractor registration on top of the state license.
Source: Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Checked August 2026. Licensing rules change — verify before you sign anything.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- Jul 14, 2024 -- Thunderstorm Wind (75 kt gust)
- Apr 4, 2023 -- Hail (Baseball hail, 2.50 in)
- Aug 10, 2020 -- Tornado (EF1)
- Jul 21, 2017 -- Thunderstorm Wind (70 kt gust) -- $20K property damage reported
- Jul 12, 2017 -- Thunderstorm Wind (55 kt gust) -- $10K property damage reported
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
Preliminary — not yet in the permanent archive
47 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Kane County since June 1, 2026: 42 thunderstorm wind events and 5 hail reports. The largest hail in the window is 1.00 in (Quarter - Half Dollar), reported June 24, 2026. The strongest gust reported is 97 kt (about 112 mph), on August 11, 2026.
Preliminary reports covering 2026-05-31 onward come from National Weather Service storm reports filed as events occur. They have not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive, and individual reports may later be revised, combined or withdrawn. NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
The damage figure. $43,000 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Kane County over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
