Illinois storms deliver a specific combination of hail, straight-line wind, and heavy rain that affects multiple systems simultaneously. Alta is one of the few Chicagoland contractors equipped to address all of them in a single coordinated project.
Storm Damage Roof Repair
High winds and hail leave missing shingles, cracked flashing, and compromised underlayment that leak within hours. Alta performs emergency storm roof repair, emergency tarping, and full structural assessment — documented for your insurance claim.
24/7 Emergency TarpingHail & Wind Siding Repair
Hail dents and cracks vinyl siding; high wind tears entire panels and shreds fiber cement boards. Alta's siding crews handle emergency storm siding repair and full siding repair in Des Plaines with material matching for existing profiles.
Vinyl & Fiber CementEmergency Board-Up & Temporary Repairs
Broken windows, compromised entry doors, and exposed wall cavities require immediate protection to prevent further water intrusion and securing the property. Alta provides 24/7 emergency board-up and temporary repairs across Cook County.
Same-Night ResponseWater Damage Reconstruction
Storm water intrusion through roof breaches, failed siding, or window gaps saturates insulation, drywall, and framing. Alta's water damage reconstruction team addresses structural drying, mold prevention, and full interior rebuild under one coordinated scope.
Insurance CoordinatedEmergency Electrical Repair
Storm damage frequently affects electrical systems — fallen trees contact service entrances, surge events damage panels, and wind-driven rain enters outlet boxes. Alta's licensed electricians provide emergency electrical repair and full panel assessment after major storm events.
Licensed ElectriciansHail Damage Roof Inspection
After any significant hailstorm, roofs require professional inspection to document granule loss, bruised shingles, and flashing damage before filing an insurance claim. Alta's hail damage roof inspections produce detailed photographic reports formatted for adjuster review.

Why Des Plaines Homes Take Storm Damage Hard
Des Plaines sits directly in the path of Cook County's most frequent severe weather tracks, with the Chicagoland corridor channeling both Midwest derecho events and Lake Michigan-influenced squalls through the northern suburbs. The city's density of mature tree canopies — particularly along the Des Plaines River corridor and in older neighborhoods near Lee Street and Oakton — creates significant wind-throw hazard during storm events, with fallen trees and limbs among the most common damage vectors Alta Property Services responds to.
Homes built before 1990 in Des Plaines frequently have aging asphalt shingles that are already past or near end-of-life when a major hail event accelerates their failure. Alta's hail damage roof inspections identify both active damage and pre-existing wear — helping homeowners make informed decisions about targeted repair versus full roof replacement before filing a claim that may not be fully covered.
We serve all neighborhoods across Des Plaines as well as adjacent communities including Park Ridge, Niles, Elk Grove Village, Mount Prospect, and Arlington Heights. For storm damage that crosses municipal boundaries — a common scenario when fallen trees affect neighboring properties — Alta can assess and repair across multiple addresses simultaneously.
After a storm event, the window for properly documenting damage before weather further deteriorates the site is narrow. Call Alta immediately at (630) 461-9229 — our inspectors can be on-site within hours to secure the property, photograph the damage, and begin the insurance claim process before conditions change.
