Common Questions
Storm Damage Roof Repair FAQs
Does homeowner's insurance cover storm damage to my roof in Illinois?
In most cases yes — homeowner’s insurance policies cover roof damage caused by sudden storm events including hail, high winds, falling trees, and severe weather. What insurance typically does not cover is damage caused by age, neglect, or normal wear and tear. The key to a successful claim is timely documentation — the sooner a professional inspection is on record after a storm, the stronger your position with the insurance company. Campbell Construction works with all major carriers and assists homeowners through the entire claim process. If your area recently experienced a significant storm, call (217) 271-1019 to get a free inspection scheduled before the filing window closes.
How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
Hail damage is often impossible to identify from the ground, which is why most homeowners don’t realize their roof was affected until a leak appears months later. On the roof, hail damage typically appears as circular impact marks, bruised or fractured shingles, heavy granule loss concentrated in one area, dented metal flashing, and cracked pipe boots or vents. The size of the hailstone determines the severity — even dime-sized hail can cause enough granule loss to significantly shorten your roof’s lifespan. If your area experienced a hail storm, don’t assume you’re in the clear because you don’t see obvious damage from the street. Call Campbell Construction at (217) 271-1019 for a free inspection and photo documentation.
How long do I have to file a roof insurance claim after a storm in Illinois?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies in Illinois require storm damage claims to be filed within one to two years of the date of loss, but individual policy terms vary and some carriers have shorter windows. More importantly, waiting significantly weakens your claim — the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to prove the damage was storm-related rather than age-related. Insurance adjusters are also more likely to attribute damage to wear and tear if considerable time has passed since the storm. The safest approach is to get a professional inspection and begin the documentation process as soon as possible after a major weather event. Call (217) 271-1019 or schedule a free storm inspection online to protect your claim.
What is the process for filing a roof insurance claim?
The storm damage claim process generally follows these steps: first, contact a reputable roofing contractor to inspect and document the damage before you file — this gives you an independent record. Next, contact your insurance company to report the claim and schedule an adjuster visit. Your contractor should attend the adjuster inspection to point out every damage item and ensure nothing is missed or undervalued. Once the adjuster issues an approval, your contractor prepares materials and schedules the work. In most storm damage cases, your out-of-pocket cost is limited to your deductible. Campbell Construction handles every step of this process and has helped hundreds of Central Illinois homeowners navigate claims successfully. Call (217) 271-1019 to get started.
Will filing a storm damage claim raise my homeowner's insurance rates?
A single weather-related claim generally has less impact on your rates than an at-fault or liability claim, and in many cases it won’t raise your rates at all — particularly if you haven’t filed recently. Insurance companies in Illinois are regulated in how they can treat claims, and storm damage is considered an external event rather than a reflection of how you maintain your property. That said, every policy and carrier is different. What we can tell you is that failing to file a valid claim means paying out of pocket for damage you’ve already paid premiums to cover. We recommend speaking with your agent about your specific policy, and scheduling a free inspection with Campbell Construction so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before you decide. Call (217) 271-1019 or book online.
Can a storm-damaged roof be repaired or does it need full replacement?
It depends entirely on the extent and distribution of the damage. Localized wind damage — a section of missing shingles or damaged flashing — can often be repaired effectively. Hail damage is trickier, because hail typically affects the entire roof surface rather than isolated areas. When hail damage is widespread across all slopes, insurers generally approve full replacement because patching sections leaves mismatched materials and an uneven protective layer. A proper on-roof inspection with photo documentation is the only way to make that determination accurately. Campbell Construction will give you a straight assessment of whether repair or replacement is the right call — and if replacement is warranted, we’ll make sure your insurance claim reflects that.
