Wind Damage Restoration

A few missing shingles after a windstorm is not a minor issue — it is an open door for water to enter your home.

Wind damage is one of the most common insurance claims filed in Illinois — and one of the most frequently underpaid. High winds lift and tear shingles, rip siding panels away from walls, pull gutters off fascia boards, and in severe cases, compromise the structural integrity of a roof system entirely. The visible damage is easy to identify. What is harder to see is the lifted flashing that is no longer sealed, the underlayment that got exposed during the event, or the siding seams that are now open to moisture. Those are the issues that lead to interior water damage weeks after the storm — long after most homeowners have moved on and assumed everything was fine.

R&J General Contractor handles wind damage restoration for homeowners throughout Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates, Elk Grove Village, Palatine, Streamwood, Bartlett, and the surrounding northwest suburbs. We inspect the full exterior — roof, siding, gutters, fascia, and flashing — and restore everything the wind affected back to pre-storm condition. Because R&J is a licensed public adjusting group as well as a general contractor, we manage your insurance claim in parallel with the restoration work. We document the complete scope of wind damage, file the claim, and negotiate with your insurer so the settlement covers everything that needs to be repaired — not just the obvious items their adjuster noted on a drive-by inspection.

Speed matters after wind damage. An exposed roof or breached siding is not something to schedule weeks out. We respond quickly, provide temporary protection where the property needs it, and move the claim and repair process forward without unnecessary delays. Call +1 844-851-6396 to schedule a free wind damage inspection and find out exactly what the storm left behind.

What We Offer:

Full Wind Damage Inspection – We inspect every exterior surface the wind affected — roof, siding, gutters, fascia, soffit, and flashing — and document the complete scope with detailed photos and written reports for your insurance claim.
Shingle Repair & Replacement – We replace blown-off, lifted, or torn shingles and reseal any areas where wind has broken the adhesive bond between tabs — a common issue that is easy to miss but leads directly to leaks.
Flashing Resealing & Replacement – Wind frequently lifts flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights, and roof edges. We reseal and replace flashing wherever the wind compromised the seal to prevent water from entering at those points.
Siding Repair & Replacement – Wind-torn or cracked siding panels are repaired or replaced and matched to your existing exterior. We address every affected section so moisture cannot enter through open seams or missing panels.
Gutter Reattachment & Replacement – High winds commonly pull gutters away from fascia boards or bend them out of alignment. We reattach, realign, or replace gutters as part of the overall restoration scope.
Emergency Tarping & Temporary Protection – When wind damage leaves your roof or exterior exposed, we provide immediate temporary protection to prevent water intrusion while the insurance claim is processed and the full repair is scheduled.
Insurance Claim Management – We prepare and submit your wind damage claim with complete documentation, communicate with your insurer on your behalf, and negotiate to make sure the settlement reflects the full cost of restoring your property.

Why Choose R&J General Contractor Public Adjusting Group for Wind Damage Restoration

We Catch the Damage Insurers Miss – Wind damage is regularly underreported in insurance settlements because the insurer's adjuster focuses on what is visually obvious. R&J inspects the complete exterior — including lifted flashing, compromised seams, and hidden siding gaps — and documents it all before any claim is submitted.
Claim and Repair Managed Together – Because R&J is both a licensed public adjusting group and a licensed general contractor, your wind damage claim and your restoration work are handled by the same team. The scope we negotiate is the scope we build — no gaps, no miscommunication.
We Move Quickly – Wind-exposed roofing and siding invites water damage fast. We prioritize wind damage calls, provide temporary protection where needed, and keep the claim and repair process moving so your home is not left vulnerable any longer than necessary.
Licensed to Represent You – As a licensed public adjuster in Illinois, R&J is authorized to negotiate your insurance claim on your behalf. That legal standing changes what we can do for you compared to a contractor who just fills out paperwork informally.
Honest Assessment Every Time – We document what the wind actually did to your property. If a section was unaffected, we say so. If the damage is more extensive than it looks from the outside, we show you exactly why. You get a clear, honest picture before anything is filed or repaired.
