Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Damage and Roof Repairs

Storm damage can leave homeowners with a lot of questions about what to look for, how to protect their home, and how the insurance process works. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from customers after severe weather hits Illinois.

How does Illinois weather cause roof damage?

Illinois faces hailstorms, heavy snow, strong winds, and rapid freeze-thaw cycles — all of which can weaken shingles, flashing, gutters, and underlayment over time. Regular inspections help catch damage early before it becomes a major issue.

What are the most common signs of storm damage on a roof?

Common signs include missing or curled shingles, dents in metal components, cracked flashing, sagging rooflines, water stains on ceilings, and granules in your gutters. If you spot any of these issues, it’s important to schedule a professional roof inspection immediately.

How can I spot roof problems after a storm?

After a storm, walk around your property (without climbing on the roof) and look for missing shingles, debris buildup, or water leaks inside your home. Even if you don’t see visible damage, a professional inspection is still recommended to find hidden issues.

What should I do if I need to file a roof insurance claim?

First, document any visible damage with photos. Then, contact Holthaus Roofing for a professional inspection and a detailed damage report. We’ll help you communicate with your insurance company, meet with adjusters, and streamline your claim for faster approval.

“Craig and his crew are absolutely amazing. I’d been through so many headaches trying to find a proper contractor for a roof repair. I struggled to find someone to answer the phone and provide me transparent communication. Craig kept in touch with me every step of the way to let me know what was going on with the roof as they did repairs. He even went out of his way to try and save me money when I didn’t even ask for it. That was a huge help. I could feel the compassion in his voice. He cared about me and solving my situation not just making a buck. And absolutely one-of-a-kind experience.”
