Insurance Restoration FAQs
Does homeowners insurance typically cover storm damage repairs in Chicago?
In most cases, yes. Wind and hail damage account for over 40% of all homeowners insurance claims nationally, and the Chicago area sees 10–15 days of damaging hail (1 inch or larger) most years. If your roof, siding, or windows are damaged by a covered peril like hail, wind, or a fallen tree limb, your policy typically covers repair or replacement, subject to your deductible.
Will my insurance company match new materials to my existing siding or roof?
Not automatically. Illinois has no state law requiring insurers to match materials, so whether you get matching siding or shingles depends entirely on your specific policy’s language. Illinois courts have sided with homeowners in cases where matching material wasn’t available and ruled the insurer had to replace an entire elevation or roof slope rather than leave a visible mismatch — but you may need to push for it. We document mismatches clearly to support your case.
Do I need a permit for storm damage repairs in Chicago?
It depends on scope. Roof repairs under 25% of the total roof area on a pitched roof (2:12 slope or steeper) are typically permit-exempt, but exceeding that threshold, doing low-slope roof work, or any structural repair requires a Chicago Department of Buildings permit. For emergency repairs, the City allows work to begin immediately as long as a permit application is filed within 7 days.
How common is hail and wind damage in the Chicago area?
More common than most homeowners realize. The Chicago region averages 10–15 days a year with hail of an inch or larger, and 2–3 of those days typically bring hail 2 inches or larger — enough to crack shingles, dent siding and gutters, and break windows.
How long does an insurance claim take to process in Chicago?
Most Chicago-area storm damage claims are resolved within 2–4 weeks once an adjuster inspects the damage, though complex claims involving disputed scope or matching issues can take longer. We can meet your adjuster on-site to make sure nothing gets missed in the initial inspection.
Should I get my own estimate before the insurance adjuster visits?
It helps. Insurance adjusters sometimes underscope damage, especially on roofs or siding where issues aren’t visible from the ground. Having our estimate in hand before or during the adjuster’s visit gives you a second, independent assessment to compare against theirs.
What's the difference between replacement cost value and actual cash value on my policy?
Replacement cost value (RCV) pays what it actually costs to replace your damaged roof or siding with new materials. Actual cash value (ACV) subtracts depreciation for the age and wear of the damaged material, so you’ll get less upfront and may need to submit receipts to recover the difference (recoverable depreciation) after the work is done. Check your policy or ask your agent which one you have.
