Storm and hail damage in Naperville
Storm damage documented and the roof made watertight while your claim gets sorted out.
Hail damage is easy to miss from the ground. It shows up as bruised spots where granules got knocked loose, dents in vents, gutters and flashing, and cracked shingles that fail a season or two later. Wind lifts shingles and breaks their seal, even when they lie back down. We inspect the whole roof, photograph what we find, and tell you honestly whether it adds up to a claim.
Here's how a claim usually goes. You call your insurer and file. They send an adjuster to inspect. We can meet the adjuster at your house so the damage we documented gets seen. Your insurer decides what's covered, and you pay your deductible. We can't promise what they'll approve, and we won't try to.

How does the insurance claim work?
You file the claim with your insurer, and they send an adjuster to look at the roof. We can be there to point out what we found. The insurer decides what's covered and pays, often in two parts, with the second coming after the work is done. Your deductible is yours to pay. Be careful with anyone who offers to make it disappear, since that's against the law in many states.
Should I file a claim?
It depends on how much damage there is and what your deductible is. If the repair costs less than the deductible, a claim doesn't help you. We'll inspect first and tell you plainly what we see, and the decision to file is always yours. Most policies have a deadline for reporting storm damage, so don't sit on it.
