- Twenty-nine hail events over five years means sustained granule loss and shingle bruising across older roofs, particularly those installed before 2010.
- One hundred four thunderstorm wind events represent the most frequent roofing stressor in Joliet, driving shingle uplift and fastener failure on slopes without proper wind rating.
- Median year built in Will County is 1991, putting many single-family roofs past the 25-year replacement threshold and into storm vulnerability.
