Public Adjusters and Restoration Contractors in Orland Park, IL
Orland Park is the retail and residential center of the southwest suburbs, with about 58,000 residents and a housing stock built mostly between 1970 and 2000. Ranches and split levels fill the older sections near 143rd Street and LaGrange Road. West of Wolf Road and south toward 179th Street, larger two story homes with finished basements and three car garages line the newer subdivisions. Orland Park also has a large commercial base around Orland Square and along LaGrange Road. Michaelson & Messinger serves homeowners and business owners across Orland Park as licensed Illinois public adjusters and restoration contractors.
Fire Damage in Orland Park
The Orland Fire Protection District covers Orland Park, Orland Hills, and the surrounding unincorporated areas from several stations. Fires in Orland Park homes most often begin in kitchens, dryers, fireplaces, and attached garages. In the split levels, an open stairwell sends smoke straight into the bedrooms. In the larger newer homes, smoke rides the HVAC system into every room. We document smoke penetration, hidden charring, and damage to mechanical systems, and we inventory contents room by room before anything is discarded.
Water Damage and Sewer Backup
Most Orland Park homes have finished basements, and most basement claims we see are sump pump failures during summer storms or frozen pipe bursts in winter. Sewer backups are also common in the older sections. On most Illinois policies, sewer and drain backup is a separate endorsement with its own limit. Water from a burst pipe is usually covered in full. Which category the carrier assigns your loss to changes the payout, and we make sure the water source is documented correctly from the start.
Storm and Hail Claims
Orland Park takes hail and straight line winds most years. We handle roof, siding, gutter, fence, and garage door claims. When the carrier wants to repair a section of a roof that can no longer be matched, we present the matching claim under the policy language.
Commercial Property
For restaurants, medical offices, retail, and small industrial buildings along LaGrange Road, 159th Street, and the Orland Square corridor, we handle building damage, business personal property, and business interruption claims, and we coordinate with property managers and tenants.
How the Claim Works
Call us and we come to the property, often the same day. We secure the building, photograph everything, and inventory the loss. We prepare a full estimate using the same software the carriers use, then meet the insurance adjuster on site and negotiate. You are informed at every step, but you are not the one arguing with the carrier.
Restoration and Rebuild
Our crews handle demolition, drying, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, kitchens, baths, and paint. Permits go through the Village of Orland Park Building Division. Our work carries a written warranty, and we come back if anything needs attention after you move home.
Serving Orland Park and the Southwest Suburbs
We also serve Orland Hills, Tinley Park, Palos Park, Palos Heights, Homer Glen, and Mokena. Our Hinsdale office is about twenty minutes north on LaGrange Road.

Condominiums and Townhomes
Orland Park has a large number of townhome and condominium associations. A fire or water loss in one unit often involves the association master policy, the unit owner policy, and sometimes a neighbor’s policy as well. Each carrier tries to push the cost onto the other. We read all of the policies, determine where the coverage line falls, usually at the drywall or the studs depending on the declarations, and pursue each carrier for its share so the unit owner is not left holding the gap.
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.
