Roof and siding insurance restoration in Chicagoland
UV Exteriors is your storm-damage restoration contractor in Schaumburg, serving Chicago and surrounding Chicagoland suburbs. We inspect roofing, siding, and related exterior components, photograph observed damage, and prepare measurements, material identification, and construction estimates. Your insurer determines coverage; we explain and complete the agreed restoration work.
If water is actively entering, start with emergency roof assessment and temporary protection. Permanent repairs can be planned once immediate exposure and the damaged areas have been evaluated.
Look at the complete exterior
From inspection to completed restoration
1. Record the conditions
Share when you noticed the damage and any photographs or prior repair information. We assess visible exterior conditions and explain the construction concerns identified.
2. Organize the repair scope
We prepare photographs, measurements, material identification, and a construction estimate describing the necessary repair procedures. Where appropriate, we meet with the adjuster to review observed conditions, quantities, and installation details. Differences between estimates are documented for review. UV Exteriors acts as the restoration contractor; your insurer determines coverage and claim payments.
3. Confirm costs and selections
Review the written scope, payment responsibilities, product selections, and any optional upgrades before work begins. Your insurer determines coverage and payment under your policy; an inspection does not guarantee approval or full replacement.
4. Complete the work and final documentation
We coordinate the agreed roofing, siding, and gutter restoration, including scheduling, property access, and cleanup. Concealed damage and proposed scope changes are photographed and discussed before additional work proceeds. At completion, we review the finished work and provide final invoices, applicable warranty information, and construction documentation for your records.
Know what belongs in your estimate
- Defined work: Affected areas, removal, replacement materials, and related flashing or trim.
- Installation details: The components and transitions needed for the proposed construction work.
- Changes: A written approach for additional work discovered after removal.
- Product choices: The selected material, color, warranty terms, and any upgrade price.
Ask your insurer to explain your deductible, any depreciation or holdback, and documentation requirements. Keep claim correspondence, photographs, estimates, and receipts together. The Illinois Department of Insurance disaster guide is a useful resource for policy and claim questions.
Choose the exterior you want to restore
Compare roofing materials and shingle colors, siding styles, and gutter options with the proposed scope. Distinguish restoration work from elective upgrades in the agreement so pricing and responsibilities are clear.

Storm damage and insurance questions, answered.
Can UV Exteriors help with a roof or siding insurance claim?
UV Exteriors can inspect visible exterior conditions, photograph observed damage, and provide a construction estimate. Construction-related differences in scope can be documented for the insurer’s review. Coverage and payment decisions remain with your insurer.
Will hail or wind damage qualify for a full replacement?
Not automatically. The policy, cause and extent of damage, exclusions, and insurer’s assessment affect coverage. The construction assessment should explain whether a repair or replacement is proposed and why.
Should I wait for the insurer before addressing an active leak?
Contact your insurer promptly about the damage and temporary protection requirements. If water is actively entering, call UV Exteriors to discuss safe temporary work and availability. Keep photographs and receipts, and confirm the permanent repair plan before authorizing it.
What if the insurance estimate leaves out construction work?
Compare the affected areas, materials, quantities, and installation details. UV Exteriors can document construction-related differences for review. Ask your insurer to explain its determination and any additional documentation it needs.
How are deductibles and upgrades handled?
Review your deductible and other payment responsibilities with your insurer. The project agreement should distinguish the restoration scope from elective upgrades and identify any additional cost before the upgrade is approved.
What should I have ready for a storm damage inspection?
Have the property address, the date you noticed the damage, safely taken photos, prior repair information, and any insurer’s estimate already received. Keep claim correspondence and temporary repair receipts together for your records.
