Illinois's climate presents significant challenges for roofing. Cold winters bring heavy snow loads and ice, which can cause roof damage and leaks. The freeze-thaw cycles in spring and fall can also weaken roofing materials. Summers are hot and humid, often bringing severe thunderstorms with high winds and damaging hail.
