Storm Damage Repair in Chicago, IL
Interested In A Roof Inspection?
When a storm rolls through the Chicago area, the damage rarely stops at the roof. Hail, high winds, ice, and flying debris can hit your siding, tear out gutters, and crack windows in the same event. Aegis Construction repairs all of it, so you are working with one licensed contractor for your entire exterior instead of chasing three different crews.
Our team responds fast, provides a free inspection with drone technology, documents every point of damage, and works directly with your insurance company from the first photo to the final repair. Whether the storm hit one surface or all of them, we give you a complete, honest picture of what actually happened and what it will take to make it right.
If your home or business has storm damage right now, call us at (773) 812-3447. We are available around the clock.
Storm Damage We Repair Across Your Entire Exterior
Roof Storm Damage
Your roof takes the worst of every storm. We repair hail bruising and granule loss, wind-lifted and missing shingles, damaged flashing around chimneys and vents, and structural damage from fallen limbs. We handle everything from a targeted shingle repair to a full replacement when the damage is widespread, using weather-rated materials built for Illinois conditions. Learn more about our roofing services and roof repair.
Siding Storm Damage
Hail dents and cracks vinyl and aluminum siding, and high winds can loosen, crack, or tear panels right off the wall. Damaged siding is not just cosmetic. Once the panel or the barrier behind it is compromised, water gets into the wall system. We repair and replace storm-damaged siding to match your existing exterior and seal the envelope back up.
Gutter Storm Damage
Storms dent gutter runs and downspouts, knock them out of alignment, and pull them loose from the fascia. Misaligned or detached gutters dump water against your foundation and roofline exactly when you need drainage most. We realign, resecure, and replace storm-damaged gutters so water moves away from the house the way it should.
Window Storm Damage
Hail and wind-driven debris crack panes, damage frames, and break seals, letting in water and driving up energy loss. We assess and replace storm-damaged windows to restore both weather protection and efficiency.
Emergency Tarping and Board-Up
When the damage is severe, waiting is not an option. We provide 24/7 emergency tarping and board-up to protect your home from further water intrusion until permanent repairs can be completed safely.
Signs Your Home Has Storm Damage
Chicago-area homes face hail, powerful thunderstorms, straight-line winds, ice storms, and heavy snow year-round, and the damage is not always obvious from the ground. Catching it early is the difference between a minor repair and a major one. Watch for:
- On the roof: Circular hail bruising, missing or curled shingles, granules collecting in gutters, damaged flashing, or interior water stains on ceilings and walls.
- On siding: Dents, cracks, holes, or panels that have come loose or detached.
- On gutters: Dents, sagging sections, or runs pulling away from the fascia.
- On windows: Cracked panes, damaged frames, broken seals, or fogging between the glass.
- Anywhere: Debris left on the roof or against the house, which traps moisture and accelerates deterioration.
If you notice any of these after a storm, get a professional inspection quickly. At Aegis, our exterior contractors use drone technology to assess the full exterior safely and thoroughly.
Hail & Wind Damage
Hail Damage
Hail damages every exterior surface differently: bruising and granule loss on shingles, dents and cracks on siding, and dented runs on gutters. It is also the damage most likely to be missed from the ground and most likely to trigger a claim. See how we handle hail damage repair across your entire exterior.
Wind Damage
High winds lift and tear off shingles, loosen flashing, rip siding panels loose, and pull gutters away from the house. Wind damage often stays hidden until the next rainstorm finds the opening. Learn more about our wind damage repair services.
Storm Damage Insurance Claims in Chicagoland
Filing a homeowners insurance claim for storm damage does not have to be a fight. Most standard policies cover wind, hail, and storm damage, but getting a fair payout depends on thorough, properly formatted documentation. That is where we come in
How Storm Damage Claims Work
After a storm, you have a limited window to file, so document the damage and start the process quickly. Your insurer assigns an adjuster to inspect and determine what the policy covers. The stronger and more detailed your documentation going in, the less likely you are to face an underpayment or a denial. We build your claim to hold up to that scrutiny from day one.
Know Your Wind and Hail Deductible
Many Illinois policies apply a separate wind and hail deductible that works differently from your standard deductible. It is often a percentage of your home’s insured value rather than a flat dollar amount, which can mean a larger out-of-pocket cost than homeowners expect. We help you understand what your policy actually says before repairs begin, so there are no surprises.
How Aegis Supports Your Insurance Claim
- Drone-assisted documentation. We capture high-resolution images and video of every damaged area, giving your adjuster evidence far more detailed than a few phone photos.
- Claim filing support. We guide you through the paperwork so your claim is complete, accurate, and submitted correctly the first time. Incomplete filings are a leading cause of underpayment.
- Adjuster coordination. We meet the adjuster on-site, provide our documentation, and make sure all damage is accounted for in the scope of work. We advocate for you, not the insurance company.
- Transparent, itemized estimates. We write estimates that align with how insurers evaluate claims. Vague estimates lead to underpayment. Ours are built to stand up.
