Serving DeKalb homeowners with thorough storm damage repair and insurance claim support means bringing a no-nonsense process to a community that values directness and honest work. DeKalb is a DeKalb County city with a mix of long-established residential neighborhoods and housing associated with Northern Illinois University — a combination that produces a wide range of home ages, ownership situations, and roofing systems that each respond differently to the severe weather this part of Illinois sees regularly. Hailstorms and high winds are a consistent seasonal reality in DeKalb, and when they cause damage, homeowners here deserve a team that tells them exactly what was found, exactly what the claim should cover, and exactly what the repair will involve — without padding the scope or dragging out the process. R&J inspects DeKalb properties thoroughly, builds complete insurance claim documentation as a licensed public adjusting group, and negotiates with the insurer to recover what the policy actually covers. From the free initial inspection through the completed exterior repair, DeKalb homeowners work with one accountable team the entire way.

When storm damage hits, dealing with your insurance company is often harder than the damage itself. We help homeowners document the loss, build a solid claim, and communicate directly with their insurer to get a fair result. Most people don't know what they're owed — we make sure you don't leave money on the table. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on getting your home back to normal.

A public adjuster works for you — not the insurance company. When your claim gets underpaid, delayed, or denied, Richard and the R&J team step in to review your policy, inspect the damage, and negotiate on your behalf. This is especially valuable after major hail or wind events where insurers tend to minimize the payout. Having a licensed public adjuster in your corner changes the outcome.

After a bad storm, your roof may have damage that isn't obvious from the ground. We perform detailed roof inspections and handle all repairs — from replacing damaged shingles to fixing flashing and decking. We work directly with your insurance claim to make sure the repair scope matches what actually needs to be done. No guesswork, no shortcuts.
When repairs aren't enough, a full roof replacement is the right call. We replace roofs using quality materials built to handle Illinois weather — heavy rain, ice, and high winds. The process is clean, efficient, and fully coordinated with your insurance adjuster when the replacement is part of a covered claim. You get a new roof without the hassle of managing two separate contractors.

Hail damage is one of the most common — and most underpaid — insurance claims in Illinois. It's often invisible to the untrained eye but causes real long-term problems if ignored. We inspect for soft metal damage, cracked shingles, and gutter dents, then document everything needed to support a complete claim. We repair the damage right and make sure your insurance payout reflects the true cost.
High winds can pull up shingles, tear siding, rip off gutters, and compromise the structure of your roof. We assess the full scope of wind damage and restore everything to pre-storm condition. Our team coordinates the restoration with your insurance claim so repairs don't get started before coverage is confirmed. Fast response matters — we move quickly to prevent secondary damage from exposure.

Storm-damaged siding isn't just an eyesore — it leaves your home exposed to moisture and energy loss. We install and repair siding on homes throughout the Schaumburg area using materials that hold up in the Midwest climate. Whether it's localized storm damage or a full siding replacement, we match the materials and scope to what your insurance covers. The result looks right and lasts.
Damaged or clogged gutters lead to water intrusion, foundation issues, and roof rot over time. We install and replace gutters as part of storm damage restorations and as standalone projects. When gutters are damaged in a storm, we document it as part of the insurance claim so you get full credit for the replacement. Proper gutters protect the investment you've already made in your home.

Before you file a claim or hire a contractor, you need to know exactly what you're dealing with. We provide thorough property damage assessments that cover your roof, siding, gutters, and exterior. The assessment gives you a clear picture of the damage, what it will cost to fix, and whether it's worth filing an insurance claim. It's the right first step — and it costs you nothing to get started.
