The Village of Homer Glen warns residents that some home-repair contractors “might claim to be a representative of your insurance company” to get you to agree to work. Nobody at your door after a storm represents your insurer. A public adjuster works for you, holds an Illinois license and signs a written contract with you. On August 11, 2026, an EF-1 tornado with peak winds near 105 mph was surveyed 3 miles southeast of the village.

A free inspection tells you whether you have a claim worth filing or reopening. See what we check on a hail damage claim and why Illinois hail claims get underpaid.

How We Help After a Storm
Free Inspection
We inspect roof, soft metals, exteriors, and relevant interiors at no charge and explain whether hiring a PA is likely to help.
Document the Loss
Photos, measurements, and a scope built for negotiation — not a 20-minute ladder glance.
Negotiate for You
We deal with the carrier under a written IL PA contract so you are not alone against a low offer or denial.
Public Adjuster vs. Roofer
Roofers restore the home; public adjusters represent you on the claim. We do not do roofing work. When the claim is settled you pick your own contractor. Some Homer Glen homeowners look at AJ Roofing’s Homer Glen page.
Before you sign with anyone, check the license. The Illinois Department of Insurance says it investigates consumer complaints against public adjusters, and you can file a complaint online.
Homer Glen Public Adjuster FAQ
Do I need a public adjuster for a hail roof claim in Homer Glen?
Not always. If your insurer denied the claim, offered to patch a few shingles when the roof needs replacing, or inspected for only a few minutes, a licensed Illinois public adjuster can re-document the loss and negotiate for you. If the offer already covers the repair, you may not need one, and we will tell you so after the free inspection.
How much does Accurate Adjusting charge in Homer Glen?
Nothing upfront. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement we help obtain, set in a written Illinois public adjuster contract. The inspection is free, and if we do not take your claim you owe nothing.
Is a public adjuster the same as a roofing contractor in Illinois?
No. In Illinois only a licensed public adjuster may negotiate your insurance claim for a fee. A roofer inspects and repairs; a public adjuster represents you on the claim. After the claim is settled you choose your own roofer.
What does Homer Glen require before roof or siding work?
The village lists roofing, siding, windows and doors among the work that needs a permit. Contractors must register directly with the Village of Homer Glen. The village’s “Before You Hire a Contractor” page carries the insurance-representative warning quoted above.
How fast can you inspect a home in Homer Glen?
Homer Glen is in our southwest Chicagoland service area, covered from our Orland Park office. After big storms the calendar fills quickly, so call or send the form and we will give you the next open slot.
