★★★★★

“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.”

The hail hit today — the damage is on your roof right now, even if your ceiling looks fine. Bruised shingles and lifted seals don't leak until the next hard rain or the first winter freeze. Get it documented now, for free, while it's fresh — and before the out-of-town storm chasers start knocking on doors.

Which One Are You?

I think I have damage

From the ground you might see dented gutters, granules washed out of the downspouts, or nothing at all — hail damage hides on the roof. We get up there and document it properly, with photos, so you know exactly what you're dealing with before you call your carrier.

I'm not sure it's worth a claim

That's exactly what the free inspection is for. We tell you straight whether there's real, claimable damage. If there isn't, you've lost nothing — and you've got your roof documented and dated at no cost.

Already filed and got denied or lowballed? 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 do I know if the June 24 storm damaged my roof?
Hail and wind damage usually is not visible from the ground. The signs we look for: bruised or cracked shingles, granules washed into the gutters, dented vents, gutters, and flashing, and lifted or broken shingle seals. The only way to know for sure is to get on the roof — that is what the free inspection is for.
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 screen hits. You get an itemized report with photos you can hand straight to your insurance adjuster. No cost, no obligation.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The time limit is set by your insurance policy — most Illinois homeowner policies require prompt notice and commonly allow up to one year from the date of loss, so for the June 24, 2026 storm that generally runs to around June 2027. Check your specific policy. You do not have to rush the filing, but the damage evidence is freshest right now, which is why we document it immediately.
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.
Are you local, or storm chasers?
We are Innovative Home Concepts — 21 years in McHenry County, based in Crystal Lake, CertainTeed ShingleMaster certified, with hundreds of local 5-star reviews. After a storm, out-of-state crews flood the area, sign contracts, and disappear. We are the company still here next year to stand behind the work — you can drive to our showroom.
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.
