Storm Damage Restoration
We restore all wind and water damage to roofs, siding, basements, and detached structures.
Storm Damage Restoration by Michaelson & Messinger Insurance Specialists, LLC
Wind, hail, tornadoes, and ice hit northern Illinois every year, and the damage rarely stops at the roof. Rain comes through the opening, ceilings sag, insulation soaks, and a roof claim becomes an interior claim within a day. Michaelson & Messinger tarps and secures storm damaged property the same day, then repairs the exterior and rebuilds the interior with our own crews across Chicago and the suburbs.
Emergency Response
- Roof tarping and temporary patching
- Board up of broken windows and doors
- Tree removal from structures
- Water extraction and drying of affected interiors
- Temporary power and heat when service is lost
- Structural shoring where framing is compromised
Exterior Repair
We replace wind and hail damaged roofing, including full tear off and replacement of shingles, underlayment, flashing, and vents. We replace siding, soffit, fascia, gutters, and downspouts. We repair or rebuild garages, porches, decks, and fences crushed by trees. When the carrier wants to patch a roof or a wall that cannot be matched, our adjusting team presents the matching claim so the whole surface is replaced.
Interior Repair
Storm water that came through the roof or a broken window damages ceilings, insulation, drywall, flooring, and contents. We dry the structure, remove damaged material, and rebuild to the pre storm condition or better.
Commercial and Flat Roofs
Flat commercial roofs take hail and wind differently than shingles. Membrane punctures, lifted seams, and damaged rooftop units are hard to see from the ground and easy for a carrier to dismiss. We inspect and document them properly, and we repair or replace the roof system.
Local and Licensed
After a major storm, crews from out of state go door to door with fast contracts and no local address. We have been in Hinsdale since 2006, we hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, and we will still be here when the warranty matters. All storm work carries a written warranty.
Call After the Storm
Call 630.654.2600 as soon as it is safe. We tarp the same day and inspect for free.
Frequently Asked Questions: Storm Damage Restoration
How soon can you tarp my roof after a storm?
The same day when it is safe to work. Tarping stops interior damage and protects the claim, since the policy requires you to prevent further loss.
Do you replace the whole roof or just the damaged section?
Whatever the claim supports. If the shingles cannot be matched, our adjusting team presents the matching claim so the full roof is replaced rather than patched.
Can you repair a garage or fence a tree fell on?
Yes. We remove the tree from the structure, shore anything unsafe, and rebuild the garage, fence, deck, or porch.
Do you do siding and gutters as well as roofing?
Yes. Siding, soffit, fascia, gutters, downspouts, windows, and doors damaged by wind or hail are all handled by our crews.
What if water came in through the roof and damaged the ceiling?
We dry the attic and interior, replace wet insulation and drywall, and repaint. Interior storm damage is part of the same claim and the same rebuild.
Do you work on flat commercial roofs?
Yes. Membrane punctures, lifted seams, and damaged rooftop units are inspected, documented, and repaired or replaced.
Are you a local company or a storm chaser?
Local. We have been in Hinsdale since 2006 and hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. We will be here when the warranty matters.
