Public Adjusters and Fire Restoration in Bolingbrook, IL
Bolingbrook is a village of about 75,000 people at the junction of I-55 and I-355, spread across Will and DuPage counties. The homes east of Route 53 date from the 1960s and 1970s, when the village first grew. West of Weber Road and south along Boughton Road, subdivisions from the 1990s and 2000s fill the map, with two story homes, finished basements, and attached garages. Bolingbrook also has a large industrial and distribution base along I-55. Michaelson & Messinger serves all of it as licensed Illinois public adjusters and as the contractor that performs the restoration.
Our office is in Hinsdale, about fifteen minutes up I-55. When you call about a fire or water loss, we can be at the property quickly, secure it, and begin documenting the damage before anything is moved.
Fire Claims in Bolingbrook Homes
The Bolingbrook Fire Department responds from several stations across the village, and the department is well equipped. Even so, a fire that starts in a kitchen, a dryer, or an attached garage will spread smoke through the entire home before it is out. In the 1970s homes east of Route 53, aluminum wiring and original furnaces are common fire sources. In the newer homes, open plans carry heat and smoke upstairs fast. Insurance carriers often estimate these losses as cleaning jobs when the walls need to come down. We document hidden damage in wall cavities, attics, and ductwork so the estimate reflects the true scope.
Water and Sewer Backup
Bolingbrook sits on flat ground with clay soil, and basements here flood when sump pumps fail during storms. Sewer backups are also common in some of the older sections. Sewer and drain backup is a separate endorsement on most Illinois policies with a limit that is often far below the value of a finished basement. We check your policy first, document the water source, and build the claim around the coverage you have. We also handle frozen pipe bursts, water heater failures, and roof leaks.
Storm, Wind, and Hail
Storms rolling across Will County bring hail and straight line winds. We handle roof, siding, fence, and garage door claims, and we know how to present a matching claim when the carrier wants to patch a roof that can no longer be matched.
Commercial and Industrial Claims
For warehouses, distribution centers, restaurants, and retail along I-55 and Boughton Road, we handle building, equipment, inventory, and business interruption claims. We work with your property manager and tenants to keep the operation running while the claim is resolved.
What Happens After You Call
We meet you at the property, photograph everything, and inventory the structure and contents. We prepare a line item estimate with the same software the carriers use. We meet the company adjuster on site, walk the loss, and negotiate. You receive updates, not phone calls from the insurance company.
Rebuilding Your Home
Our crews handle demolition, drying, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, kitchens, baths, and paint. Permits go through the Village of Bolingbrook Building Division. Our work carries a written warranty.
Serving Bolingbrook and the Surrounding Area
We also serve Romeoville, Woodridge, Plainfield, Naperville, Lemont, and Darien. Call 630.654.2600 any time. The first visit is free. Michaelson & Messinger has served the southwest suburbs since 2006 and holds an A+ Better Business Bureau rating.
A Note on Timing
Illinois policies set deadlines for reporting a loss, submitting a proof of loss, and disputing a settlement. Miss one and coverage can be reduced or denied. Bolingbrook homeowners who call us in the first few days keep every option open. Those who wait until the carrier has closed the file have a harder road, though we can often still help. Whatever stage you are at, the first conversation costs nothing and comes with a straight answer.
What Our Clients Are Saying
There was a a fire at my property in December 2022. M&M promptly stepped in to make my restoration smooth and simple. Shannon was my adjuster and Dan was my contractor. My insurance company classified the damage as a total loss, so there was a significant amount of work that needed to be done. Dan and Shannon took care of absolutely everything, and promptly addressed all of my questions and concerns along the way. I hope never to experience such a tragedy again, but if I do, I will absolutely be working with M&M again.
After a nightmare handling a water insurance claim from a busted water line, I was fortunate to learn about Michaelson & Messigner Insurance Specialist from a coworker. Jeff was assigned to me as my adjuster, and he was absolutely great to work with. His knowledge of the insurance claim process is unmatched, and he helped me navigate it, making the process less overwhelming. I highly recommend working with Michaelson & Messigner if you’re dealing with an insurance claim, especially a commercial one. I am very grateful to have worked with Jeff and his company for everything they did for me.
M&M is a good company you can trust and rely on, after our fire damage they worked very hard to put us back in our home which is restored, reconstructed, and reincarnated. Thank you M&M! Bobby Williamson and Kimberly Bailey & Family, Chicago. P.S. They even come back out to your home to repair any damages, leaks, or imperfections, many months after the original project is complete. It has been four years since M&M have put our home back together after all the fire damages, and if something goes wrong you can depend on them to help repair the problem. […]
Dan and Ceasar were great to work with. They went over and above to make sure we were happy, and their work is outstanding. Corners are perfect on the moldings, everything is painted perfectly, and all the structural things are better than specs call for. I highly recommend them.

A fire can be one of the most devastating events in your life. M&M did an outstanding job repairing my home. All 3 floors were burned! Dan and Matthew took time to listen to me. They went the extra mile to make sure my home was restored and that I was satisfied. “I’m so glad I chose M&M to repair my home.”
I was very pleased with the professionalism and the skill in which they handled my claim. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs a public adjuster to represent them.
