A storm on this list does not mean your roof was damaged, and no storm on it does not mean it wasn’t. Hail damage is often invisible from the ground. 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 Westmont homeowners look at AJ Roofing’s Westmont 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.
Westmont Public Adjuster FAQ
Do I need a public adjuster for a hail roof claim in Westmont?
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 Westmont?
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 Westmont require before roof or siding work?
Roof covering replacement (tear-off or second layer) qualifies for an Express Permit. All contractors register with the village before any permit is issued ($50, non-refundable). Roofers must also provide a current State of Illinois license and a $10,000 surety bond naming the village. House-to-house soliciting requires registration with the Village Clerk and a permit.
