Storms and insurance
Hail or wind hit your roof? We will help you through it.
Storm damage is easy to miss from the ground. We get on the roof, document what we find and walk you through how the insurance process works, so you are not guessing.
- Full roof inspection with photos of the damage
- Plain-language guidance on the insurance process
- A written estimate for the repair or replacement
We are roofers, not adjusters. As Illinois law requires, we do not file claims for homeowners or pay deductibles. How storm damage inspections work.
