Services we provide

Services built around what your property needs

We offer roofing and exterior services that work together, because storm damage rarely affects just one part of a home. We look at the full scope, not isolated repairs.

Most Contractors Repair.We Navigate the Entire Claim.

Storm damage claims can be overwhelming. We help you understand the damage, document what matters, and guide the entire process from inspection through completion.

  • Insurance Claim Specialists

    We help homeowners understand the insurance process and make sure the scope reflects what is actually needed from the start.

  • We Identify What Others Miss

    Some of the most important issues are not obvious at first. We look closely so nothing critical is overlooked.

  • Face-to-Face, Not Automated

    We meet you at the property, walk through the damage together, and explain what we are seeing clearly.

  • You Stay in Control

    You stay involved and informed while we guide the process and coordinate what comes next.

  • We See the Full Picture

    We evaluate the roof, exterior, and related systems together so the solution reflects the entire property.

Service Area

Serving Chicago’s Western Suburbs

Local expertise across the communities we know best.

Western Suburbs Coverage

Select a community to preview coverage.

Most claims aren’t denied. They’re underwritten.

Many claims are approved, but not for the full scope of what is actually needed. That can leave important parts of the property under-addressed from the start.

Scope Line ItemsReview

What was approved vs what is actually needed

Underwritten scope

  • Partial roof replacement
  • Missing flashing
  • No gutter allowance
  • Limited ventilation

Correct scope

  • Full roof replacement
  • Flashing and ventilation included
  • Gutters and exterior aligned
  • Complete system coverage

If your scope feels light or incomplete, there are ways to fix it before moving forward.

  • Re-inspection to document the full extent of damage
  • Appraisal if there is a disagreement on scope or value
  • Scope review to identify what was missed

If this sounds like your situation, speak with a project manager before moving forward.

Storm damage signals

Customers usually call us after the storm.The smarter move is sooner.

Hail, high winds, and severe weather do not always leave obvious damage. The earlier the property is evaluated, the easier it is to document what matters and prevent small issues from becoming bigger ones.

  • Hail

    Granule loss, bruising, soft metal damage, and collateral hits often show up before leaks do.

  • High Winds

    Lifted shingles, loosened flashing, detached components, and edge damage are easy to miss from the ground.

  • Tornado / Severe Storm

    Widespread impact can affect more than the roof alone — siding, gutters, metals, and other exterior elements may all be part of the claim story.

  • “It looks fine from here”

    Visible damage is not the only damage. Many claim issues begin with assumptions made too early.

Clear roles. No confusion.

How we help guide the process

We help homeowners understand the process, communicate clearly with adjusters, and move repairs forward while keeping decisions in your hands.

What Strata does

  • Guides the process
  • Helps document what is there

What Strata does not do
