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.

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.

Why Alta

Built Around Your Property. Accountable at Every Stage.

What makes our process different isn't just the steps — it's the standards we hold ourselves to inside each one.

24/7 Emergency Availability

Property issues don't wait for business hours. Our dispatch team answers around the clock and can have a crew on-site the same day for urgent situations across DuPage and Cook counties.

Fully Licensed, Bonded & Insured

Every Alta technician operates under full licensure and insurance coverage. You're never exposed to liability for on-site incidents, and our work meets Illinois building code on every project.

Insurance Claim Support

We prepare complete documentation packages — photo reports, itemized scopes, and adjuster-ready estimates — and bill insurers directly when applicable. Our team handles the paperwork so you can focus on your property.

Single Point of Contact

No juggling between trades or chasing subcontractors. Alta manages the full project — roofing, siding, electrical, plumbing, interior work — under one contract with one dedicated project lead assigned to your job.

Locally Owned & Operated

Based in Addison, IL, we've been part of the Chicagoland community since 2010. We know the neighborhoods, we know the building codes, and we stand behind our work with a contractor who's easy to reach long after the job is done.

Workmanship Guarantee

We stand behind every project with a written workmanship warranty. If something isn't right after we leave, call us — we come back and make it right, no questions asked and no additional charges for covered issues.

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.
