Overview

Meaden Precision Machined Products, a manufacturer specializing in high-tolerance components, suffered significant tornado damage to its facility in Burr Ridge, IL. The storm compromised the integrity of the roof, affecting operations and exposing valuable equipment to further risk.

The original claim filed with the insurance company yielded a grossly insufficient offer of $100,000—a fraction of what was needed to properly restore the building to its pre-loss condition. That’s when A+ Adjusters Group stepped in.

Challenge

The initial adjuster’s scope underestimated:

The full extent of wind and debris damage from the tornado
Underlying insulation saturation and damage to the structural decking
The necessity of code upgrades, including insulation to R-30 standards
Proper roofing system compatibility across different facility sections

Insurers often lowball industrial claims due to the complexity of systems, components, and code requirements. Our challenge was to document the true scale of the loss, advocate for full coverage under the policy, and ensure all necessary upgrades were included.

Our Solution

A+ Adjusters Group launched a comprehensive reassessment and claim escalation, including:

A full forensic roof inspection using thermal imaging and core sampling
Coordination with engineers and roofing experts to determine appropriate materials and code compliance
Detailed cost estimations backed by Xactimate and local contractor rates
Strategic communication and negotiation with the insurance carrier and their third-party consultants

Our team rebuilt the claim from the ground up—ultimately delivering a 1,284% increaseover the original offer.

The Upgrade: Modified Bitumen + TPO Roof System with R-30 Insulation

The final approved scope included:

🔧 Modified Bitumen Roofing System for durability and impact resistance in high-wear areas

🌐 TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) single-ply membrane for energy efficiency and large surface coverage

🧱 R-30 Insulation Upgrade to meet current Illinois building code and improve thermal performance

⚡ Improved drainage, flashing, and seam welding to ensure long-term waterproofing

The combined roofing systems were selected to match the facility’s needs based on usage zones, roof traffic, and energy efficiency goals.
