Step by Step

The Alta Property Services Process

Six clear stages — from your first call to your final approval. Every project follows the same proven sequence, so nothing gets missed.

1

Initial Contact & Rapid Response

Call us at (630) 461-9229 or submit a request online — any time, day or night. For urgent situations, we dispatch a field team within hours. For scheduled work, we confirm your appointment within one business hour. You'll always speak with a real person, never a phone tree.

Available 24/7 Same-Day Response Available No Hold Music
2

On-Site Assessment & Documentation

A licensed Alta technician visits your property, conducts a thorough visual and structural assessment, and documents all affected areas with detailed photos and notes. This step is the foundation of accurate scoping — we won't quote blind or estimate over the phone for complex jobs.

3

Detailed Estimate & Insurance Coordination

We prepare a clear, itemized written estimate using industry-standard pricing — the same format accepted by major insurers. If your project involves an insurance claim, our team prepares supporting documentation and works directly with your adjuster so you're not caught in the middle. No hidden line items, no inflated scope.

Project Scheduling & Materials Sourcing

Once you approve the estimate, we lock in your project start date and source all materials — typically within days, not weeks. Our established supplier relationships across the Chicago metro mean we move faster than most contractors. You'll receive a written schedule with milestones before work begins.

I can't say enough good things about Alta Property Services. My basement flooded due to a burst hot water heater connection--right in the middle of trying to sell my home. It was a stressful situation, but Alta came through in the clutch. My realtor contacted them, and they responded quickly and professionally. They handled everything with the insurance company, which was a huge relief, and got right to work on the cleanup and restoration. Not only did they mitigate the water damage, but they also installed beautiful new flooring--all in time for us to keep our scheduled open house. Thanks to Alta, the space looked better than ever, and we were able to stay on track with the sale. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with unexpected property damage. Fast, reliable, and truly went above and beyond.

We had a leak in our kitchen break room. I called Alta and they had some techs on site within an hour or so. They were able to clean up the water, had mold testing done, got us a quote to replace drywall, rebuild cabinets, and put everything back together as if it never happened. We are very appreciative for the help Alta provided. All of this at a very reasonable cost as well. They are now our "go to" company for emergency services. Thank you Alex and Ron.

Alta Property Services has helped my clients on projects large and small. And their work and customer service are exceptional! The owner Ron has always been quick to communicate (not always the case with contractors) and the folks he has working for him really know their stuff! Peter is one of the project managers and is not only organized but also helps come up with creative solutions when needed. Highly recommend!

Our tech, Chris went above and beyond in coming to our house and completing the job. This all happened in sub zero temps in Chicago. After a long day, Chris called and provided an update on where he was and timing of when he would be able to be at the house. He was willing to come after hours (arrived at 7:30PM) and did a great job fixing 2 toilets and ensuring the job was complete before he left - and all with a smile. He was polite, professional and super helpful with explaining what he was doing. Great example of what great service looks like.

I’m extremely happy with the service we received. We have a home warranty and Alta was dispatched to correct a plumbing issue with our toilet, it was taking forever to fill after flushing. I’ve had this problem for about 2 years now, my warranty company has sent out multiple plumbers (2-3) who’ve attempted to fix the issue but were unable and just provided me with different excuses as to why it’s not fixed, like that I have low pressure etc, when the toilet wasn’t like that when we bought the house…I’ve been under the impression we had a leak this whole time, our water bill has been outrageous so I finally called the warranty company again on the same issue and was so relieved to find out Alta was easily able to correct the problem. I guess the 3rd/4th turn is a charm. Finally a plumber who knows what they’re doing, thank you Alta! I’m hoping our water bills will be more affordable now as a result 🙏🙏

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Process

Common questions from homeowners and property managers before they start a project with Alta.

For urgent situations, we can have a team on-site the same day across most of DuPage and Cook counties. For non-emergency scheduled work, we confirm your appointment within one business hour and typically book within 2–5 business days. Our office is staffed 24/7 — you'll never wait until Monday morning to hear from us.
For exterior work (roofing, siding, gutters), we can typically complete the initial assessment without you present — we'll provide access instructions. For interior work or jobs that require access to specific areas, we'll coordinate a time that works with your schedule. Property managers handling multiple units can designate a contact person for each building.
Yes — insurance documentation is a core part of our process for applicable projects. We prepare detailed photo reports, itemized scopes, and adjuster-ready estimates. We communicate directly with your insurer's adjuster and, where eligible, bill them directly. Visit our insurance claim support page for full details on what we handle.
It depends on the scope. A single-trade exterior repair (roof, siding, gutters) often completes in 1–3 days. Multi-trade or interior projects typically run 1–3 weeks. We provide a written schedule with milestones before work begins so you're never left guessing. If the timeline shifts for any reason, we notify you proactively — not after the fact.
Yes. We serve residential homeowners, commercial property owners, HOAs, and property management companies throughout the Chicago metro. Our process scales to both — from a single-family roof repair to a multi-building maintenance contract.
Yes, completely. On-site assessments and written estimates are always provided at no cost and with no obligation. We believe you should be able to compare options confidently before making any commitment. Request yours here.
