About homes and weather in Hometown
About 98% of homes in Hometown were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1955. Buildings that age often still have older single-pane glass and worn aluminum frames, so loose panes, failing seals and tired door hardware come up a lot. More homes here went up in the 1950s than in any other period. That makes its housing older than about 84% of Illinois towns its size.
Housing is a mix, with about 12% single-family houses and 12% in apartment buildings. About 73% of homes here are lived in by their owners, and we work with homeowners and shop owners alike.
NOAA storm records for Cook County list 96 hail reports (the largest 2.75 inches across), 455 thunderstorm wind reports and 29 tornadoes from 2020 through 2024. Hail that size can break window glass and dent aluminum frames. See how Cook County compares.
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.
