Storm Damage Repair Issues Don't Wait
A major storm can damage your roof in ways that aren't visible from the ground. Hail as small as 3/4" can bruise shingles and trigger full-replacement coverage under most Illinois policies — but without documentation, adjusters may deny or underpay the claim. Wind at 50+ mph loosens flashing, lifts ridge caps, and creates leak pathways that don't show up until the next rainstorm. The SW Suburbs see an average of 5–8 significant hail events per year, yet most homeowners never file a claim because they don't know the damage is there.
How AJ Roofing Fixes It
AJ Roofing performs a 20-point storm damage inspection at no charge — the same thoroughness an independent adjuster charges $400+ for. We photograph every bruised shingle, dented metal cap, and displaced flashing, then prepare the documentation package that gets claims approved on the first review. As part of AJ Exteriors, we assess roof, siding, gutters, and windows in a single visit and include all covered damage in one claim — so you collect the maximum settlement without running three separate contractors through your adjuster. Most SW Suburbs homeowners we work with collect $8,000–$22,000 in approved storm damage settlements. You pay only your deductible.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
You often can't tell from the ground. Hail damage shows as circular bruises and soft spots on shingles, excessive granule loss (check your gutters — granules look like coarse sand), dented metal flashing, and cracked or dented ridge caps. Hail as small as 3/4" can cause insurable damage to asphalt shingles. Call us immediately after any hail event — free inspection, no obligation.
How long do I have to file a storm damage claim in Illinois?
Most Illinois homeowners policies allow 1–2 years from the date of loss to file a claim, but policies vary. The sooner you inspect and document, the stronger your claim — storm damage evidence degrades over time as weather continues to wear the roof. Don't assume you missed the window without checking.
What if my insurance company denies the claim?
A denial is not final. We can request a re-inspection with additional documentation, escalate to a supervisor review, or connect you with a licensed public adjuster for complex disputes. Many initially denied claims are approved on second review — we've successfully resolved hundreds of disputed claims across the SW Suburbs.
Will I owe anything beyond my deductible?
No. We price our work to match the insurance-approved scope. You pay your deductible — that's it. We never ask homeowners to cover the gap between what insurance pays and what the project costs. If there is a gap (rare on properly filed claims), we address it with a supplement directly with your insurer.
