FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage after severe weather in Robbins?
Look for obvious signs such as missing, cracked, or curling shingles, granule loss accumulating in downspouts, dents on metal flashing, and water stains on interior ceilings or walls. However, some damage—like lifted shingles or small punctures from hail—isn’t easily seen from the ground. Because hidden issues can worsen quickly, we recommend a professional inspection even if everything looks normal from your yard.
Why is it important to schedule a professional roof inspection after a storm?
A timely inspection documents storm damage before it has a chance to spread, helping to prevent leaks, mold growth, and structural issues. It also provides written proof of damage for your homeowner’s insurance claim, ensuring you get the coverage you’re entitled to. In Robbins, insurers often impose strict deadlines for filing storm claims, so an expert evaluation can save both time and money.
What does your storm-damage roof inspection include?
Our certified technicians begin with a ground-level assessment, followed by a hands-on inspection of shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, and penetrations. We look for hail impacts, wind-lifted shingles, punctures, and moisture intrusion. We also check attic insulation and ventilation for hidden leaks. You receive a detailed digital report with photos, a damage map, and repair recommendations, all within 24 hours of the visit.
How soon can you inspect my roof in Robbins after a storm?
We reserve emergency slots on our schedule during storm season and can typically be on-site within 24–48 hours of your call. If conditions allow safe roof access sooner, we’ll expedite the visit. Same-day tarping is available if we discover active leaks or exposed areas that need immediate protection from the elements.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of storm-related roof repairs or replacement?
Most policies in Illinois recognize wind, hail, and fallen-tree impacts as covered perils. Coverage depends on policy type, roof age, and deductible. After our inspection, we’ll provide the photo-documented report and meet with your adjuster to explain the findings. While final approval rests with the insurer, our detailed documentation and experience with Robbins-area claims greatly improve the likelihood of fair compensation.
What happens if you find storm damage during the inspection?
You’ll receive a clear, itemized report outlining severity, recommended repairs or replacement, and estimated costs. If temporary protection is needed, we can install emergency tarps the same day. We’ll help you initiate an insurance claim, meet with the adjuster, and schedule repairs at a convenient time. All work is completed to local Robbins building codes, and we back our repairs with industry-leading workmanship warranties.
