Crews on call now
Storm damage? Breathe.
Emergency tarping within hours. Documentation your insurance carrier can't argue with. And a team that has walked eight hundred adjuster meetings — on your side of the ladder.
After the Storm
Four signs worth a phone call.
You don't need to climb anything — if any of these look familiar from the ground, the inspection is free.
Hail bruising
Dark, soft dimples in the shingle surface — often invisible from the ground but fatal to the mat underneath.
Lifted or missing shingles
Tabs folded back, creased, or gone entirely — the next rain goes straight to the deck.
Granules in the gutters
A sudden layer of gravel in downspout splash blocks means the storm stripped the shingles' armor.
Ceiling stains after rain
A ring that grows with each storm is a slow leak with a head start. Catch it before the insulation does.
The Claims Process
We handle the carrier.
You handle nothing.
An insurance claim is a negotiation you've never practiced against a professional who does it daily. We've sat on your side of that table for twenty-five years — here's exactly how it goes.
Out of pocket for a covered claim: your deductible. That's the whole number.
Free storm inspection
A senior inspector documents every slope with photos and drone imagery, then tells you honestly whether the damage clears your deductible. If it doesn't, we'll say so.
File with your carrier
We sit with you for the first call, provide the documentation packet your carrier asks for, and translate the jargon before you sign anything.
Adjuster meeting — on the roof
Your Crown Ridge inspector meets the insurance adjuster on the roof and walks the damage line by line, so nothing gets missed or minimized.
Build & closeout
We build to the approved scope, file supplements if hidden damage surfaces, and help you recover depreciation. You pay your deductible — not a penny more.
Straight Answers
The questions everyone asks.
Storm claims are 'acts of God' — in most states, including Illinois, carriers can't single you out for a weather claim the way they can for an at-fault loss. Rates in a storm-hit area typically move together, whether you file or not. If your roof took damage, you've already paid for the coverage.
Most policies allow one year from the storm date, some as little as six months. The catch: damage gets harder to attribute the longer you wait. A free inspection now puts a dated, documented report in your file even if you decide not to act yet.
We request a re-inspection and meet the second adjuster with our photo and drone documentation in hand. Most denials we see are first-visit misses, not final answers — and there's no charge for us to keep showing up.
Yes — that's how replacement-cost policies work. The carrier pays the approved scope minus your deductible; we build to that scope. Anyone offering to 'eat the deductible' is committing insurance fraud, and that's a contractor to avoid.
That's what the 24/7 line is for. Emergency tarping crews respond within hours, the tarp is engineered to survive the next storm, and the cost folds into your claim as emergency mitigation — which policies cover.
