Will my insurance cover my roof?
If your roof was damaged by a covered event such as hail, wind, or a storm, most Illinois homeowner policies cover repair or full replacement minus your deductible. Coverage depends on your policy and the age and condition of the roof. We inspect for free, document the damage, and can meet your adjuster on-site to make the claim as smooth as possible.
Do you offer free storm and hail inspections?
Yes. Storm and hail damage is often invisible from the ground - bruised shingles, cracked mats, and lifted seals can leak months later. We provide a free, no-obligation roof inspection with photo documentation. If we find damage, we explain your repair, replacement, and insurance options clearly.
How fast can you tarp my roof after a storm?
Our emergency line is staffed 24/7. In the Chicago metro and most Illinois cities we typically get an emergency tarp in place within a few hours to stop water intrusion and prevent interior damage.
