FAQs
How can I tell if my roof has storm damage after severe weather in Winfield?
Look for obvious signs such as missing, cracked, or curled shingles, dented flashing, granules collecting in gutters, water stains on ceilings, or pieces of roofing material on the ground. Because hail and high-wind damage can be subtle, we recommend scheduling a professional inspection; our technicians use drones and moisture-sensing tools to document any hidden problems in compliance with DuPage County building standards.
What should I do immediately after I notice storm damage to my roof?
1) Stay safe—avoid climbing onto a wet or unstable roof. 2) Take clear photos or video of visible damage from ground level. 3) Call a licensed Winfield roofing contractor for an emergency tarp or temporary repair to prevent further water intrusion. 4) Notify your homeowner’s insurance carrier and open a claim; most policies require prompt reporting. 5) Save all receipts for mitigation work—insurance typically reimburses these costs.
Will my homeowner’s insurance pay to replace a roof damaged by hail or wind?
In most cases, yes. Standard homeowner’s policies in Illinois cover sudden and accidental damage from wind, hail, and falling debris. Coverage depends on your policy type (ACV vs. replacement cost) and deductible. After our no-cost inspection, we create a photo report and meet with your adjuster on-site to verify the scope of damage and local code upgrades (ice-and-water shield, ridge ventilation) that must be included in the settlement.
How long does a storm-related roof replacement take in Winfield?
Once materials are delivered and permits are issued by the Village of Winfield, most asphalt-shingle roofs are torn off and replaced in one to two days. Larger or steeper roofs, specialty materials, or structural repairs can extend the timeline to three to five days. We handle permit applications, HOA approvals, and dumpster logistics so you experience minimal disruption.
Which roofing materials stand up best to Illinois storms?
Impact-rated architectural shingles (Class 3 or 4), stone-coated steel panels, and standing-seam metal roofs all perform well against hail and 60-mph wind gusts common in DuPage County. We also install synthetic underlayments, ice-and-water shields in valleys and eaves, and high-profile ridge caps to improve weather resistance. During your consultation, we’ll compare life-cycle cost, curb appeal, and manufacturer warranties to help you choose the right system.
