Hail in Lake County

NOAA storm records for Lake County list 32 hail reports (the largest 1.75 inches across), 93 thunderstorm wind reports and 4 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames.

Freeze-thaw cycles and humid summers work on seals from both directions, so cracked sealant, drafty sashes and foggy double-pane glass are common repairs.

Homes and buildings in Grayslake

Most of Grayslake is fairly new: only about 23% of homes were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1994. With newer double-pane windows, the usual problems are a failed seal, cracked glass or a sliding door that has worn through its rollers. More homes here went up in the 1990s than in any other period. That makes its housing newer than about 87% of Illinois towns its size.

Housing is a mix, with about 57% single-family houses and 19% in apartment buildings. About 76% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
