When a storm rolls through Stearns County, out-of-state crews follow it and start knocking. We are not one of them. Our office is at 132 33rd Ave S in Waite Park, so this is not a city we drive in to: it is where we work from. We document hail and wind damage the way adjusters need to see it, and we will still be here when the next storm comes through.
We climb your Waite Park roof at no cost, chalk the hail hits and hand you close-up photos for your claim file.
Book My InspectionPhone the office on 33rd Ave S, tell us roughly when the storm hit, and we pick an inspection time together.

On an approved claim, the insurance company covers the scope it agreed to, and your share is the deductible. For most covered storm repairs in Waite Park, that deductible is the whole out-of-pocket cost. If our inspection turns up nothing worth claiming, we say so and you skip the call to your insurer.
The first days after a big storm are when the phones ring hardest and the out-of-state trucks show up. Here is what we actually do once you call.
Test squares chalked on each slope, hits counted and photographed, plus the soft metal: roof vents, flashing, gutters, downspouts and window wraps. Torn or folded tabs from wind get their own photos.
You open the claim. When the adjuster comes out, we can be there with our measurements so the two inspections line up. Anything left off the first scope gets documented and sent back for a second look.
After approval, the work goes on the schedule. You cover your deductible and anything you choose to upgrade, and nothing else.
About 51% of Waite Park homes are owner-occupied, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, so close to half the roofs in town belong to landlords. If a rental took hail or wind, you may not be there to see it. We photograph every slope and wall and send the set to you, so you and your insurer are working from the same pictures, and we coordinate the install day with your tenants.
"After the claim was denied, Mitch worked hard to do the homework to try to get it approved, after a long time and multiple return trips on reinspections I now have a nice new roof and siding! Thanks again guys!"

If the claim is approved, normally your deductible and any upgrades you choose. The insurer pays its approved scope. No contractor in Minnesota may pay or waive that deductible for you.
Getting a free inspection first tells you whether there is damage worth claiming. If there is none, you have not opened a claim for nothing. If there is, you call your insurer with photos in hand.
If you want us there, yes. We walk the roof with the adjuster and compare notes, but the claim is yours and so is every decision about the work.
Not always. Hail can fall hard on one street and miss the next. The only way to know is to look, which is why the inspection is free.
Storm crews come and go. Our office stays in Waite Park, and the inspection is free.
After the storm we come out, go over the roof, siding and gutters, and photograph what the hail and wind left.
We tell you whether the damage is worth a claim, before you ever phone your insurance company.
If you file, our photos go into the claim and the job follows Minnesota contractor law from start to finish.
