How a Contractor Can Handle Your Entire Insurance Claim — So You Don't Have To
Most property owners in the Chicago metro leave thousands of dollars on the table after exterior or structural damage to their property — not because the repair wasn't covered, but because it wasn't documented the way their insurance carrier requires. That gap is exactly what Alta Property Services closes.
As a licensed general contractor based in Addison, IL, Alta manages the entire claim lifecycle on your behalf: on-site documentation, adjuster coordination, Xactimate-aligned scope submissions, supplement filings for missed items, and direct insurer billing. You focus on your property. We provide the documentation and coordination you need to get your covered repairs approved.
- Professional photo, video & written damage documentation
- On-site presence at your insurance adjuster inspection

What does insurance claim support from a contractor mean?
Insurance claim support from a licensed contractor means having a professional document all property damage, attend your adjuster's inspection, submit a complete Xactimate-aligned repair scope, file supplement claims for missed items, and bill your insurer directly — so you receive the coverage you're entitled to without navigating the process alone.

24/7 Rapid Emergency Response Across ChicagolandProperty emergencies don't keep business hours. Alta's emergency line is answered around the clock — with crews deployed to DuPage County, Cook County, and surrounding metro communities typically within 2 hours to begin urgent structural repair and secure your property.
Why Insurance Claims in the Chicago Metro Are Different
The greater Chicago area experiences frequent weather events throughout the year, and DuPage County and the northwest suburbs — Addison, Bloomingdale, Itasca, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights — see their share of high-impact conditions capable of affecting roofing, siding, gutters, and exterior fixtures in a single event.
When weather strikes, accurate documentation matters. Alta's claim documentation team is trained specifically on the exterior and structural impact patterns, building materials, and carrier audit requirements common across the Chicago suburban market — from Lombard and Naperville to Evanston and Northbrook.
Whether your property is a vintage brick bungalow in Oak Park, a modern townhome in Aurora, or a commercial building in Schaumburg, our scopes are built to pass carrier review the first time — eliminating the delays that cost property owners weeks of repair time.
Chicago-Area Weather Claim Context
DuPage and Cook County properties frequently require roof and exterior repairs following weather events — yet national carrier adjusters working remotely often miss secondary damage. Alta's local presence at every adjuster meeting closes that gap consistently.

Posted on Google Kathi Watkins-DeitzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took care of problem when warranty company would not cover claim. ThanksPosted on Google Jessica RoubitchekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google MichaelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google Michelle SchroederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!Posted on Google Dana StottsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google Rachel McHughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 🙏🙏Posted on Google Mark ByrneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommended! I'm already lining up future projects for the team.Posted on Google Celine SchroederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team @ Alta was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and thorough. Everything was completed on time and 100% perfect. Am grateful for true professionals!
