Common Types of Storm Damage in Illinois

Storms in Illinois can cause significant damage to roofing systems, including:

Hail Damage: Dents, cracks, or bruised shingles that may not be visible from the ground.

Wind Damage: Lifted, curled, or missing shingles that can lead to water leaks.

Water Damage: Leaks from damaged flashing or exposed underlayment.

Fallen Debris: Tree limbs or debris that puncture or dent roofing surfaces.

Even if the damage isn't immediately noticeable, it can lead to long-term issues like mold, rot, and structural deterioration if not addressed promptly.

Step-by-Step: Filing a Storm Damage Insurance Claim in Illinois

Inspect the Damage Promptly

After a storm, safety comes first. Once it's safe, visually inspect your property for any signs of damage. If you're unsure or uncomfortable climbing onto your roof, contact Proven Roofing & Construction—we offer free, no-obligation storm damage inspections.

Document Everything

Take clear photos of any visible damage, both to the roof and other parts of the exterior (gutters, siding, etc.). Keep a log of the date of the storm and the damage observed.

Contact Your Insurance Provider

File a claim as soon as possible. Most insurance policies have a time limit for reporting storm damage. Your insurance company will assign an adjuster to assess the situation.

Get a Professional Inspection

Our experienced team will perform a detailed inspection and provide a full damage report, which you can share with your insurance adjuster. We’ll also meet with the adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is missed in the evaluation.

Review the Insurance Estimate

Insurance companies often issue a preliminary estimate. We’ll go over this with you to make sure all necessary repairs are included—and help you file a supplemental claim if anything is missing.

Let Proven Roofing Handle the Repairs

Once approved, we’ll begin work on your roof quickly and professionally, using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship. Most jobs are completed within a day or two.
