Roof Storm
Damage Help

Yes, it usually does! But here’s the thing, insurance policies sometimes sneak in storm damage exclusions (often without you even realizing it). So, be proactive and review your policy's terms , or chat with your insurance agent to make sure you've got the proper coverage in case a bad storm rolls in.

If you've already filed a claim and had the adjuster check out the damage, it's still a good idea to get a qualified roofer to take a look at your roof and review the adjuster's estimate. This way, you can be sure nothing gets overlooked and have confidence that you're getting treated fairly by your insurance company.

So, when a big storm hits, insurance companies usually decide to jack up everyone's rates, no matter what. But here's the kicker: If you don't file your own claim, your rate hike could be paying for everyone else’s damage except yours. So, as long as you've got legitimate damage, do yourself a favor and file a claim It's the smart move to make. 

No, we do not because for starters, in Illinois, as in many other states – it is illegal for a roofing contractor to “waive” or absorb the insurance deductible for a homeowner. In reality, when roofing contractors say they'll “waive'”the deductible, they usually end up cutting corners to cover the lost income, and you could end up shelling out a lot more for your roof repairs than the money you initially saved. Avoid sketchy contractors who take shortcuts and offer to illegally waive your insurance deductible just to land a contract. Work with an experienced roofing contractor who will take care of you, help you get a fair settlement, and get a new roof (or roof repairs) done right. Schedule an inspection today. 

The honest, unfortunate truth is that it can take a while – longer than anyone wants it to take because we’re dealing with insurance. We’ve seen the process take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. The good thing though is that you have insurance to help pay for fixing your roof damage! If you choose to get our help helping you navigate the insurance claim, then we can take a lot of the hassle and stress of it all off your plate and handle it for you.
