Troy IL Roofing Contractor, at a glance
Troy sits in the middle of Madison County hail country, and the subdivisions built through the 1990s and 2000s are now hitting the age where a marginal storm finishes off a roof that was already near the end. Free inspection with photographs, and the claim documented if there is one. Call (314) 429-6000.
Hail country, and what it does out here
Madison County takes more hail than most of the metro, and the roofs here show it.
Storms coming across open Illinois farmland arrive at Troy with nothing to slow them down. Hail events here are more frequent and the stones are often larger than what the same system drops on the Missouri side, which is why so many Troy homes are on their second or third roof already.
The damage pattern we document most is functional rather than dramatic. Bruised mat that gives under a thumb, granules stripped in a scattered pattern across the west and south slopes, dented vent caps and gutter aprons, and split ridge cap. From the ground the roof looks fine. On the roof, with photographs and a date, the story is clear enough for an adjuster.
Wind is the second half of it. Gusts crease shingles that then lie back down, and those creases break the seal strip permanently. The next ordinary thunderstorm is what takes them off.

What to do after a hail storm in Troy
In order, and none of it costs you anything.
- Walk the yard and the driveway for granules, shingle pieces and dented downspouts before you clean anything up
- Photograph what you find with the date, including dents on the air conditioner fins and mailbox
- Call for a free inspection before you call the insurer, so you know whether there is a claim worth filing
- Keep any receipts for emergency work such as tarping, because those are usually reimbursable
- Do not sign anything that assigns your claim to a contractor you have not checked out
Out of state crews work Madison County hard for a few weeks after a big event. Ask anyone knocking on your door for their license, their insurance certificate and a local address that still exists in five years.

Working with your insurer
Most Troy roof replacements we do are insurance funded, and the part that goes wrong for homeowners is almost always the scope rather than the coverage. An adjuster working fast from the ground can miss a slope, miss the ridge, or leave out the drip edge and the ice and water membrane that code requires.
We write the scope from what we photographed, line by line, and meet the adjuster on the roof so both documents describe the same building. When something is missed it gets supplemented with evidence attached rather than argued over the phone. You decide whether to file at all, and the documentation is yours either way.
Troy IL roofing questions
Are you licensed to work in Illinois?
Yes. We are an Illinois roofing contractor with an office in Edwardsville and crews that work Madison and St. Clair counties every week. Certificates of insurance go out before the crew arrives.
How long after a hail storm can I file a claim?
Policies differ and you should read yours, but waiting is what costs people coverage. Get the free inspection while the damage is fresh and dated, then decide. We will tell you honestly if we do not think there is a claim.
Will my rates go up if I file?
That is a question for your agent rather than your roofer, and we will not pretend to answer it for you. What we can tell you is exactly what the damage is, so you are making that call with real information.
Do you use local crews or storm crews?
Our own crews, working out of Edwardsville and Maryland Heights. We are here in February when there is no storm work, which is the whole point.
What warranty do I get on a Troy roof?
A lifetime workmanship warranty on qualifying work plus manufacturer material coverage, and as an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor we can extend the strongest system warranties available on a qualifying replacement.
