A 31 second look at a C&N Construction storm restoration job. Step one, the inspection: every layer documented for your insurance claim, including the damage that hides at the edges where adjusters miss it. Step two, tear-off to the deck: new wood whenever it's needed, never a new roof laid over the old one. Step three, built for the next storm. Ends with an offer of a free storm damage inspection.
Watch: 31 Seconds

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.

What Our Inspections Document

This is what claim-grade evidence looks like: chalk-marked hit counts, bruises photographed close, and the dented soft metal that corroborates a hail event. Every free inspection produces a report built from photos like these.

Common Questions

About This Work

Are these photos of your actual work?
Yes. Every photo on this page came off a real C&N Construction project or inspection in the Chicagoland area, shot by our crews and inspectors. Nothing here is stock photography. The metadata is stripped and locations are withheld because these are real customers' homes.
Why don't you show addresses or towns?
Privacy. These are our customers' homes, so we identify projects by region at most. If you want references you can verify, ask during your inspection: we can connect you with homeowners nearby who've agreed to be references, which beats reading captions anyway.
Can I see work you've done near me?
Usually, yes. With 25,400+ completed projects across Cook, DuPage, Will, Kane, and the collar counties, there's C&N work in nearly every Chicagoland community. Ask your inspector during the free inspection and they can point to recent local projects.
What are the inspection evidence photos for?
That's what a documented claim looks like. Chalk-marked test squares, close-up bruise photography, and corroborating soft-metal damage are the evidence standard carriers respond to. Every free inspection produces a photo report built exactly this way, and the report is yours to keep.
