Hail, wind, fallen branches. IL storms do real damage to roofs. Great Lakes Roofing & Maintenance responds within 24 hours. We tarp exposed areas to prevent further water intrusion, then document the damage for your insurance claim with photos, measurements, and a detailed inspection report.
We work with every major insurance carrier in IL: State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, Nationwide, and more. Our supplement team knows Xactimate line items and fights for full replacement when your roof qualifies. If the initial estimate seems low, we document additional damage and resubmit.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Roof Inspection
Within 48 hours of the storm, our inspector is on your Great Lakes roof. We check for hail impact, wind-driven shingle lift, cracked ridge caps, and any penetration failures. A full photo report is provided regardless of whether damage is found.
Claim Documentation
Our office prepares the claim package: photo evidence, damage scope, material specifications, and repair estimate in Xactimate format. We file with your carrier and track the claim through to adjuster assignment.
Meet the Adjuster
Your adjuster gets a guided tour of the damage by our inspector. We speak the same language: hail hit classification, wind speed thresholds, manufacturer warranties voided by damage. This meeting is where claims get approved.
Repair or Replace
Once approved, our Great Lakes crew handles the repair or replacement at the insurance-agreed price. You pay your deductible. We do the work, file the completion paperwork, and you're done.
