Yes. Alta Property Services provides comprehensive insurance claim support starting from the moment we arrive. Our team documents all damage with detailed photography, creates Xactimate-based cost estimates that align with industry-standard pricing databases used by adjusters, and communicates directly with your insurance company on your behalf. We also assist with temporary living expense documentation if your home is uninhabitable, and we never charge upfront costs for covered storm damage claims — we bill your insurance directly.

Hoffman Estates experiences a wide range of storm damage types due to its position in the Chicagoland severe-weather corridor. The most common include wind damage to siding and roofing from thunderstorm downdrafts, hail damage to asphalt shingles and exterior surfaces, water intrusion from ice dams and driven rain, tree impact damage from mature trees common in established neighborhoods, and foundation cracking from hydrostatic pressure during heavy rainfall and freeze-thaw cycles. Our crews are trained and equipped to address all of these damage types in a single coordinated restoration project.

Absolutely not — and your insurance company expects you to take reasonable steps to mitigate further damage. In fact, most homeowner policies require policyholders to make emergency repairs to prevent additional losses, and failure to do so can result in denied claims for secondary damage. Alta's emergency services — tarping, board-up, and water extraction — are specifically designed to satisfy your policy's mitigation requirements while we document everything for your adjuster. We photograph all damage before any temporary repairs are made, ensuring nothing is hidden from the adjuster's assessment.

Yes. Unlike companies that only provide emergency board-up or specialize in a single trade, Alta Property Services is a full-service general contractor licensed to perform complete reconstruction. This means we repair your roof, replace damaged siding, restore broken windows, fix compromised gutters, and then move inside to address water-damaged drywall, flooring, electrical systems, and plumbing. Having one contractor manage the entire project eliminates coordination nightmares, reduces total timeline, and ensures consistent quality from the first tarp to the final coat of paint.

Your first priority is safety — evacuate if there is any structural concern, electrical hazard, or gas leak. Once safe, call Alta at (630) 461-9229 for immediate emergency response. While waiting for our crew, take photos of all visible damage from multiple angles, move valuables away from water intrusion areas, and avoid walking on a potentially compromised roof. Do not attempt DIY repairs on structural damage or electrical systems.
