About Storm Damage Repair
Storm damage repair in Orland Park, Tinley Park, Frankfort, and throughout Chicagoland restores roofs beaten by hail, wind, and severe weather. We've repaired hundreds of storm-damaged roofs since 2004 -from single shingle replacements to complete tear-offs after major hail events.
Chicago sits in "Hail Alley." Severe thunderstorms sweep through every summer, dropping hailstones ranging from pea-sized (nuisance) to golf ball-sized (serious damage). Wind shear from these storms tears off shingles, rolls back ridge caps, and throws debris into roofing materials. Spring and fall bring straight-line winds exceeding 60 mph.
Types of Storm Damage We Repair:
Hail Damage:: Hailstones strike shingles at high velocity, crushing granules and fracturing the fiberglass mat beneath. Damage isn't always visible from the ground. We inspect for: - Circular granule loss patterns - Soft spots where mat is fractured - Cracked or dented metal flashings - Damaged vent caps and pipe boots - Dented gutters and downspouts
Hail damage is cumulative. Each strike weakens the shingle. A roof with 20-30 hits per square (100 sq ft) needs replacement even if no shingles are missing.
Wind Damage:: Wind lifts shingles starting at edges and corners. Once the seal strip breaks, subsequent gusts tear shingles partially or completely. We repair: - Missing shingles - Lifted and creased shingles - Torn-off ridge caps - Damaged flashing at roof edges - Debris penetration
Rain Damage:: Driving rain enters through failed shingles, lifted flashings, and damaged vent boots. We trace leaks back to their source and repair entry points.
Insurance Claims Process:
Most storm damage claims follow this process:
1. Our Inspection: We examine your roof and document all damage with photographs, measurements, and detailed notes.
2. Claim Filing: You file a claim with your insurance company. We provide documentation to support the claim.
3. Adjuster Inspection: Your insurance adjuster inspects the roof. We meet with the adjuster to ensure all damage is identified. Adjusters are busy -some miss damage that our trained eyes catch.
4. Estimate Approval: Insurance issues an estimate based on damage scope. We review it for accuracy. If items are missed, we file supplements.
5. Repair Scheduling: Once approved, we schedule repairs. For full replacements, we coordinate material ordering and crew availability.
6. Completion and Payment: You pay your deductible; insurance pays the remainder directly to you (or split with us, depending on policy).
Emergency Tarping:
Active leaks from storm damage need immediate protection. We dispatch crews 24/7 to install heavy-duty tarps anchored with battens. Tarps prevent further water intrusion while you process your claim.
