This Is What a Documented Roof Looks Like
Real footage from our crews, not stock. The inspection that documents every layer for your claim, the tear-off down to the deck with new wood wherever it's needed, and the roof that goes back on built for the next storm.
- Storm damage hides at the edges. That's what gets missed.
- New decking whenever it's needed, never a layover.
- Local, licensed, and permanently here to honor the warranty.

Why Chicago Storm Pros
We're Not Storm Chasers
After every hailstorm, out-of-town crews flood in, knock doors, and leave. When something goes wrong, they're three states away. We live and work here.
- 01 Based in Hillside, IL Local crew, permanent office. We've been here before the storm and we'll be here after. Our warranty means something.
- 02 Licensed, Insured, Certified IL-licensed roofing contractor. Full liability and workers comp. GAF Master Elite contractor, a designation held by only 2% of roofers nationwide. OSHA trained in-house crews.
- 03 We Know the Claims Process Over 25,000 jobs completed, many of them insurance claims. We know what adjusters look for, what gets missed, and how to build a thorough damage report.
- 04 Next-Day Response On your roof next-day in most cases. Storm damage is all we do. No remodels or kitchen projects competing for crew time.
Insurance Claims
How Your Roof Gets Paid For
After the 2026 storms, many homeowners are asking what a claim will cost them. Your policy sets the deductible, and the carrier decides the claim. Here's how the process works, step by step.
Read the Full Claims Process- 1 Documented Inspection A Haag-certified inspector photographs every hit and maps damage per slope, before a claim goes on your record.
- 2 Lock the Storm Date We tie your damage to a specific NWS-documented event, like the July 27 tornadoes or the June 11 outbreak.
- 3 File With Evidence Your claim goes in with the full photo report attached, not a vague description an adjuster can dismiss.
- 4 Adjuster Meeting We meet your adjuster on the roof so every slope and every hit gets counted in the scope.
- 5 Supplement the Misses Missed or undervalued items get supplemented in Xactimate, the carrier's own pricing language.
- 6 Build and Final Payment Work completes, depreciation gets recovered, and your out-of-pocket cost is the deductible your policy sets.

Common Questions
What Homeowners Ask Us
How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Most storm damage is invisible from the ground. Hail bruises shingles, cracks flashing, and knocks granules loose without leaving obvious holes. Wind lifts shingles and exposes nail heads on the back slope where you can't see from the street. The only reliable way to know is a professional inspection from the roof deck. Our inspections are free and we document everything with photos.
Will my insurance cover storm damage repairs?
Most homeowner policies cover storm damage minus your deductible. The key is documentation. A detailed damage report with photos, measurements, and a professional assessment gives your insurance company what they need to approve the claim. We help you file and meet your adjuster on-site to make sure nothing gets missed. In Illinois, your insurer cannot raise your rates for filing a single weather-related claim.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim?
Your policy sets its own deadline to report a loss, and it varies and can be short, so check your declarations page or ask your agent. If your area was hit by a storm in the last year and you haven't had your roof inspected, schedule a free inspection now. Takes about 45 minutes.
What's the difference between you and a storm chaser?
Storm chasers are out-of-town crews that follow hailstorms. They knock on doors, do the work, and leave. If something goes wrong six months later, they're three states away. We're based in Hillside, IL with a permanent presence in the western suburbs. Licensed and insured in Illinois. When we give you a workmanship warranty, we're close enough to honor it.
What does the free storm damage roof inspection include?
We climb the roof and inspect every shingle, vent, and piece of flashing. We check for hail bruises, granule loss, lifted shingles, cracked pipe boots, damaged ridge caps, and compromised valley flashing. Everything gets photographed and documented. We dispatch a Haag-certified inspector to your address, same day in most cases. The report is yours whether or not you hire us. See our full free storm damage roof inspection guide for more detail.
How much will repairs cost me out of pocket?
For insured storm damage, your out-of-pocket cost for the covered work is your deductible, which your policy sets. It is often a flat amount such as $1,000 to $2,500, and for wind and hail it can be a percentage of your dwelling coverage (1% to 2%). The carrier pays the approved covered scope above it. If your damage isn't covered or you don't want to file, we provide a written estimate before any work begins. No surprises. We never start work without your approval of scope and cost.
