- Siding replacement
- Siding repairs
- Gutter replacement
- Fascia and soffit repairs
- Window replacement
- Exterior trim repairs
- Structural exterior repairs
- Insurance documentation
- Insurance claim support
- Property inspections
Instead of coordinating multiple contractors, homeowners can rely on one experienced team to restore every damaged portion of their property.

Common Signs of Storm Damage
Not all storm damage is obvious from the ground. Even if your roof appears intact, hidden damage can lead to leaks, mold growth, insulation damage, and premature roof failure.
After severe weather, watch for:
- Missing shingles
- Lifted shingles
- Creased shingles
- Granule loss
- Water stains on ceilings
- Roof leaks
- Bent flashing
- Damaged gutters
- Dented downspouts
- Cracked siding
- Broken windows
- Fallen tree limbs
- Exposed roof decking
If you notice any of these issues—or if your neighborhood experienced hail or high winds—schedule an inspection before minor damage becomes a much larger repair.
Hail Damage Restoration
Hail damage isn't always visible without a professional inspection.
Even small hailstones can damage roofing materials by removing protective granules, bruising shingles, denting metal components, and weakening waterproof barriers.
Our hail inspections evaluate:
- Asphalt shingles
- Ridge caps
- Flashing
- Roof vents
- Skylights
- Gutters
- Downspouts
- Siding
- Window trim
Proper documentation helps homeowners understand the condition of their roof and provides valuable information during the insurance process.
Wind Damage Repair
Illinois storms often bring powerful straight-line winds capable of lifting shingles, damaging flashing, tearing off gutters, and exposing the roof deck.
Wind damage left untreated can allow water to enter your attic and interior spaces.
We inspect for:
- Missing shingles
- Loose shingles
- Exposed nail heads
- Lifted flashing
- Ridge cap damage
- Fascia damage
- Gutter separation
- Structural concerns
Early repairs help prevent additional damage during future storms.

Emergency Storm Response
Some storm damage simply can't wait.
When severe weather causes immediate roof leaks or structural concerns, our emergency services help stabilize your home until permanent repairs can be completed.
Emergency services may include:
- Emergency roof tarping
- Leak mitigation
- Temporary weather protection
- Structural stabilization
- Damage documentation
- Priority scheduling
Taking immediate action often minimizes additional interior damage.
Our Insurance Claim Process
Many homeowners only file one or two insurance claims during their lifetime, making the process feel confusing or overwhelming.
Our team works to simplify each step.
Step 1 – Schedule Your Inspection
We inspect the entire exterior of your property and identify storm-related damage.
Step 2 – Document the Damage
Photographs, measurements, and detailed notes help establish the extent of the damage.
Step 3 – Meet with Your Insurance Adjuster
When appropriate, we can meet with the insurance adjuster to review documented damage and answer questions about repairs.
Step 4 – Review Your Claim
Once your claim is approved, we'll review the scope of work and explain the repair process.
Step 5 – Complete Restoration
Our crews complete repairs using quality materials while maintaining clear communication throughout the project.
Step 6 – Final Inspection
After construction is complete, we perform a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon should I have my roof inspected after a storm?
Ideally within a few days. Even if there are no visible leaks, hidden damage can worsen over time.

Yes. Hail often damages shingles long before water enters the home.
Will my insurance company pay for storm damage?
Coverage depends on your individual policy and the extent of storm-related damage. We provide detailed documentation to support your claim.
Should I replace my roof immediately after hail damage?
Not always. Some roofs only require repairs, while others need complete replacement. A professional inspection determines the appropriate solution.
Can you replace siding and gutters at the same time?
Yes. We provide complete exterior restoration so your home is fully repaired after storm damage.
Do you offer free storm inspections?
Yes. We provide inspections and estimates for homeowners throughout Sterling and nearby communities.
