Our Storm Damage Repair Process

From First Call to Completed Roof: Our 5-Step Storm Damage Repair Workflow

When a storm hits your Chicago home, you need a crew that knows how to navigate the damage—and the insurance claim. Here's exactly how we work from the first phone call to the final inspection.

**Step 1: Free Inspection & Damage Assessment** We come to your property in Logan Square, Pilsen, or anywhere in Chicago within 24 hours of your call. Our crew documents all storm damage with photos and detailed notes—checking for lifted shingles, dented flashing, missing granules, and hidden issues like compromised underlayment or rotted decking. We don’t just look at the obvious spots; we inspect the entire roof system. This inspection is free, and we provide a written estimate itemizing materials and labor. **Step 2: Insurance Claim Navigation** We’ve been helping Chicago homeowners file storm damage claims since 2008, and we communicate directly with your adjuster. We meet the adjuster on-site to ensure every bit of damage is noted—including manufacturer-specific requirements for GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed systems. We document damage in a way that satisfies insurance standards, so you don’t miss out on coverage. You get a clear explanation of your deductible and what’s covered. **Step 3: Material Selection & Permitting** Once the claim is approved, we walk you through material options. As a certified installer for GAF, Owens Corning, and CertainTeed, we source manufacturer-backed materials that stand up to Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles. We pull all necessary permits from the City of Chicago or your suburb (like Evanston or Oak Park). We schedule the work at your convenience, keeping you informed every step. **Step 4: Professional Installation & Storm Repairs** Our crew strips the old roof, replaces any rotted decking, installs ice-and-water shield at eaves and valleys, and lays new underlayment, flashing, and shingles or flat roofing (TPO, EPDM, or modified bitumen). We clean up each day and protect your landscaping. We’re Illinois Licensed Contractor #104-014892, and we stand behind every nail. The work is done right—the way we’d do it on our own homes. **Step 5: Final Walkthrough & Warranty** After completion, we do a thorough walkthrough with you, checking all flashings, vents, and gutters. We provide manufacturer warranty documentation (GAF System Plus, Owens Corning Platinum) and our workmanship guarantee. You get a clean roof, peace of mind, and a direct line to our crew if anything comes up. That’s the Chicago Roofing Team promise—backed by 18 years and 300+ 5-star reviews.

After a storm hits Logan Square or Evanston, you have three paths. Only one comes with an Illinois license, manufacturer warranties, and 18 years of Chicago freeze-thaw experience.

| | DIY Repair | Bargain Contractor | Chicago Roofing Team | |---|---|---|---| | **Cost upfront** | Low | Low–Medium | Honest, itemized estimate | | **Illinois Licensed** | N/A | Often unlicensed | Yes — #104-014892, visible on every estimate | | **Insurance claim help** | None | Rarely offered | We document damage and talk directly to your adjuster | | **Manufacturer warranty** | Voided | Usually voided | GAF System Plus, Owens Corning Platinum — honored | | **Storm damage expertise** | Limited | Inconsistent | 18 years of Chicago hail, wind, and ice dam repairs | | **Flat/low-slope capable** | No | Rarely | TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen — all freeze-thaw rated | | **Workers' comp + liability** | Your homeowner policy | Often uninsured | Fully insured — certificates on file | | **Written estimate** | N/A | Verbal or vague | Free, itemized material and labor breakdown | | **Verified reviews** | N/A | Few or none | 4.9 stars, 300+ Google reviews | | **Founded** | — | Unknown | 2008 — 18 years on Chicago rooftops | DIY patching after a hail storm typically masks decking damage we find underneath. We found rotted OSB under a three-year-old DIY patch on a Pilsen two-flat in 2024 — what started as a $400 shingle job became a $6,200 deck replacement the homeowner's insurance wouldn't cover because no licensed contractor had documented the original storm damage. Hire licensed. Document everything.

FAQs

Storm Damage Repair Questions, Answered

We've handled hundreds of storm claims across Chicago. Here's what homeowners typically ask before scheduling an inspection.

How do I know if my roof has storm damage?After a storm, look for missing or curled shingles, dented metal, granule loss in gutters, or leaks inside. We offer a free inspection to identify hidden damage — we've done this for 18 years across Chicago neighborhoods like Pilsen and Evanston.
Will my insurance cover the repair?Most homeowner policies cover storm damage if it's sudden and accidental. We document everything with photos and reports to support your claim. As Illinois Licensed Contractor #104-014892, we work directly with your adjuster to ensure covered items aren't missed.
How long does a storm damage repair take?Minor repairs often take one day. Full replacements run 2–5 days depending on roof size and weather. We schedule around Chicago's freeze-thaw cycles to avoid delays — our crew has worked through polar vortexes and spring hailstorms.
Do you help with insurance claims?Absolutely. We provide a detailed damage report, photos, and meet your adjuster on-site. We handle the back-and-forth so you don't have to. Over 300 reviews on Google (4.9 stars) show we make the process smooth.
Can you match my existing shingles?We carry GAF, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Malarkey, and IKO. We can color-match most blends. If your roof is older, we may recommend replacing the affected slope entirely to avoid patchwork — we'll explain your options upfront with no pressure.
What if the damage is only a few missing shingles?Even minor missing shingles can lead to leaks and rot. We'll inspect for underlying deck damage. In Chicago's freeze-thaw climate, a small gap lets water under shingles. We'll quote the repair — often under $500 — and get it done same-week if needed.
