We also flag any pre-existing wear we find during the inspection separately from new storm damage, since insurers distinguish between the two.
We photograph damage from multiple angles and distances, matching the level of detail Charleston, IL adjusters typically expect to see in a claim submission.
We also keep records of regional Charleston, IL storm events, which can help corroborate the timing of damage on a claim.
Full insurance and licensing documentation available on request.
Post-storm call volume spikes fast — our Charleston crews prioritize active leaks first, then work through the queue.

Most storm-related Storm Damage Roof Repair visits combine two or three of these elements in a single inspection.
Hail damage often shows as bruised or missing granules rather than obvious cracks, and it's easy to miss from the ground.
We check shingle tabs and seal lines across the whole roof, not just the visibly missing sections.
Tree limbs and wind-blown debris can crack decking as well as shingles, so we check underneath the surface damage too.
Proper documentation before you file can make the difference between a fast approval and a drawn-out dispute.
Once damage is documented, we move to repair — targeted fixes for isolated damage, full sections where needed.
We check gutters and downspouts alongside the roof, since storm damage rarely stops at the roofline.
Describe what happened and what you're seeing, and we'll get an inspection scheduled.
We check for hail bruising, lifted shingles, and debris impact across the full roof.
You receive a written damage report and repair estimate, formatted for insurance claim purposes if needed.
We follow up to make sure the repair holds through the next storm season.
