FAQs
How quickly can you respond to storm damage calls in the Decatur area?
We maintain an emergency response team that can typically arrive at your Decatur property within 24 hours of your call—often the same day if the storm has just passed. Rapid tarping and temporary sealing are done immediately to prevent further water intrusion until permanent repairs are scheduled.
What visible and hidden signs of storm damage should I watch for on my roof and siding?
Common visible indicators include missing or curled shingles, lifted flashing, dented or cracked siding panels, granule loss collecting in gutters, and obvious leaks or water stains inside. Hidden damage can involve loosened fasteners, compromised underlayment, and moisture trapped behind siding. A professional inspection is the safest way to uncover these less obvious issues.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of storm damage repairs?
Most standard homeowner’s policies in Illinois do cover wind, hail, and other storm-related damage. We assist you by documenting damage, providing a detailed written estimate, and meeting with the adjuster on-site to ensure all legitimate repairs are included in the claim. You are generally responsible only for your deductible and any upgrades you choose beyond code-required replacement.
What materials and installation methods do you use to make sure my roof and siding stand up to future storms?
We install high-impact, Class 4 asphalt shingles or metal roofing, storm-rated vinyl or fiber-cement siding, ice-and-water shield in vulnerable roof valleys, and reinforced flashing around penetrations. All fasteners meet or exceed International Building Code wind-uplift standards for Decatur’s climate zone, giving your home greater resilience against hail, straight-line winds, and heavy rain.
Can you repair isolated damage, or will I need a full replacement?
That depends on the severity and spread of the damage. Localized shingle or panel replacement is often possible when less than 25–30 percent of the surface is affected. If the storm compromised structural decking, underlayment, or multiple facets of the roof or large wall sections, a full replacement may be more cost-effective and code-compliant. We always present both options with clear pricing and pros/cons.
Do you offer free inspections and estimates in Decatur and nearby communities?
Yes. Roof and siding storm-damage inspections are entirely free for homeowners in Decatur, Mt. Zion, Forsyth, and the surrounding Macon County area. You’ll receive a no-obligation written report, photos of damage, and a detailed estimate outlining repair scope, timeline, and material choices.
