★★★★★

“We worked with Skyler on our siding project and had a great experience overall. We went with James Hardie siding on our home in Woodstock and Skyler was helpful throughout. The 3D rendering and design process was especially useful — it made it much easier to visualize everything and feel confident in the final decisions.”

Tiara Ramirez · Woodstock, IL · Hardie Siding · Jan 2026
★★★★★

“Skyler walked us through multiple 3D renderings and detailed design concepts for our home. He showed us different materials, color palettes, textures, and design combinations we hadn't even considered. We chose James Hardie siding and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.”

Jasmeet Mavi · Woodstock, IL · Hardie Siding · Feb 2026
★★★★★

“We hired Innovative Home Concepts to replace our front windows. I was impressed with the entire process. From the estimate to the install, everything was on time, the crew was professional, and the windows look great.”

Stacy Rockweiler · McHenry County · Andersen Windows · Sep 2025
★★★★★

“Innovative is the company to call if you need windows. We had ordered 3 windows from another contractor in April — order was cancelled in October. Innovative stepped in and finished the job right.”

Sally Halverson · McHenry County · Andersen Windows · Feb 2024
★★★★★

“Skyler came out to give me an estimate on gutters today. He was cheerful, knowledgeable, and efficient. His suggestions were good and the pricing was fair. Would recommend to anyone considering new gutters.”

Mary Russell · McHenry County · Gutters · Aug 2024
★★★★★

“Our experience with Innovative Home Concepts was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we contacted them about our siding and roof project through completion, every step was handled with care.”

Hail damage doesn't fix itself. The August 2025 storm is months behind us — the damage on your roof isn't. Every freeze-thaw winter turns a small bruise into a leak that costs far more to fix. Get it documented now, for free.

Which One Are You?

I haven't filed a claim yet

You're not out of time yet. We document the damage, you notify your carrier, and you file before the August 16, 2026 deadline. The free inspection gives you the itemized evidence to file with.

My claim was denied

A denial isn't always the end. An adjuster spends about 20 minutes on a roof and misses things — hail bruising on shaded slopes, lifted seals, dented soft metals. We re-inspect free and tell you straight whether there's a case worth reopening.

Denied or underpaid? You don't have to fight the carrier alone.

When a claim is contested, our sister company — IHC Public Adjusters, a separately licensed Illinois public adjusting firm — represents the homeowner, not the insurance company. They re-inspect, price the loss in Xactimate, and negotiate the claim. We've helped McHenry County homeowners navigate insurance claims since 2008. Not every claim needs a public adjuster; bigger and contested ones often do. We'll tell you straight which one you are.

Real Answers — From the Crew Who'll Actually Install It

How long do I have to file a claim from the August 2025 Cary storm?
Illinois gives you one year from the date of loss to file, so for the August 16, 2025 storm the window closes August 16, 2026. After that, carriers can deny on timeliness alone. Federal disaster aid was denied for this storm, so your homeowners policy is the only path to recovery.
What does the free inspection include?
We get on the roof and document hail and wind damage — bruised shingles, dented vents and soft metals, lifted seals, damaged flashing — plus siding, gutter, and fence hits. You get an itemized report with photos you can hand straight to your insurance adjuster. No cost, no obligation.
My claim was already denied. Is it worth re-inspecting?
Often, yes. A first adjuster visit is quick and misses damage on shaded slopes and soft metals. If we find recoverable damage the first inspection missed, our sister company — IHC Public Adjusters, a separately licensed Illinois public adjusting firm — can reopen and negotiate the claim. We tell you honestly whether there is a case.
Will you handle the insurance claim for me?
We document the damage for free and walk you through filing. If the claim is contested or denied, IHC Public Adjusters (our separately licensed Illinois sister firm) can represent you against the carrier. We do not guarantee an outcome — the carrier decides — but we have helped McHenry County homeowners with claims since 2008.
What if I do not actually have damage?
Then we tell you that, for free, and you move on. We are not going to invent damage that is not there — an honest report is the whole point. If your roof is fine, you will have it documented and dated, which is useful on its own.
