What We Do
From the first tarp to the final shingle
When a storm rolls through Grand Rapids, you need one call that covers everything. We secure the damage, build your claim, and finish the work from start to finish.
Emergency tarping & board-up
We stop the bleeding fast. Crews tarp open roofs and board up broken windows and openings so wind and rain can’t do more damage while your claim gets sorted out.
Full damage documentation
We climb the roof and photograph everything: lifted shingles, hail bruising, dented vents and flashing, with measurements, so your claim is backed by evidence the adjuster can’t wave off.
We meet & walk the roof with your adjuster
We’re on-site for the adjuster inspection, pointing out every hit so nothing gets missed or underscoped. You’re not up on a ladder trying to argue your own case.
Full repair or complete replacement
Whether it’s a few sections of wind damage or a roof that needs to come off entirely, we do the work in-house with GAF and CertainTeed materials, built to code.
We coordinate directly with insurance
From first call to final invoice, we talk to your carrier so you don’t have to chase paperwork, supplements, or approvals. You stay informed, we do the legwork.
24/7 · Homes & Businesses
Emergency board-up, day or night
Not every emergency is a storm. A car through your storefront, a break-in, a fallen tree. When something suddenly opens up your home or building, we answer the phone 24 hours a day and get a crew out fast to board it up and secure it before more damage gets in. When a car crashed clean through a Grand Rapids storefront, we had it boarded up and weather-tight that same night.
We secure homes and commercial buildings alike, then handle the full repair and the insurance claim from start to finish.

How It Works
How the insurance claim works
A storm claim sounds intimidating. It isn’t, when you have someone who does it every day. Here’s exactly how the process goes, step by step.
Free storm estimate
Call us and we come out to assess the roof, siding, and gutters and tell you straight whether you have a claim worth filing.
We document all damage
Photos, measurements, and a written summary of every point of damage, so your claim starts from a complete, defensible record instead of a guess.
You file the claim
You call your insurance company and open the claim. It’s your policy, so it has to come from you. We’ll walk you through exactly what information they’ll ask for.
Adjuster inspection
The insurance adjuster comes out to inspect. We’re there with you, on the roof, making sure they see and record every bit of the damage we documented.
Approval & scope agreed
Once the carrier approves, we review the scope and loss statement together to confirm it actually covers what needs to be done.
We complete the work to code
Our crew does the repair or replacement to current building code, with quality materials and a full cleanup. We pull permits where required.
In most cases, just your deductible
On most approved claims, your deductible is your main out-of-pocket cost. Coverage decisions are made by your carrier; we handle final billing and any supplements directly with them.
Your Advocate
Why we're on the roof with your adjuster
The single biggest reason homeowners get shortchanged on a storm claim is a thin, underscoped adjuster report. The adjuster works for the insurance company, not for you. When we're standing right there during the inspection, that imbalance disappears.
We've walked countless West Michigan roofs with adjusters. We know what damage looks like, what code requires, and what a full, fair scope should include. That's the difference between a claim that actually covers your roof and one that leaves you holding the bill.
Adjusters can miss or underscope damage
They inspect dozens of roofs a week and aren’t roofers. Hail bruising and wind creasing are easy to overlook. An underscoped estimate leaves you paying out of pocket later.
We point out everything and advocate for a fair scope
We walk the roof alongside the adjuster with our documentation in hand, calling out every hit so the approved scope reflects the real, full extent of the damage.
We make sure code-required upgrades are covered
Michigan code may require things like ice-and-water shield, drip edge, or proper ventilation. We make sure those code-mandated items get written into your claim instead of becoming your bill.
You’re not negotiating alone
Insurance is our daily work, not yours. Having an experienced contractor in your corner means the conversation is on even footing. You’re not fighting the adjuster by yourself.
Don't Wait
Every day of delay costs you
Once your roof is open, water keeps getting in, soaking insulation, staining ceilings, and feeding mold that can take hold in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Insurance carriers also set deadlines to report storm damage, and waiting too long can put your claim at risk. The sooner we tarp it and document it, the more we protect both your home and your payout.
