Overview

This beautiful residential home in Lake Forest, IL, suffered substantial hail damage that compromised the original wood shake roof, as well as essential architectural components including:

Copper valleys
Metal ventilation systems
Copper chimney flashing

Though the damage was widespread, the insurance company initially undervalued the cost of proper restoration. That’s when the homeowner turned to A+ Adjusters Group for expert representation and guidance.

Challenge

While hail had clearly damaged multiple roof systems and copper components, the insurer’s original scope:

Overlooked the true cost of replacing high-end materials
Ignored necessary code upgrades
Attempted to approve partial repairs rather than full replacement

The homeowner wanted more than just a patchwork fix—they needed a

solution that would preserve the integrity, value, and beauty of the home.

The wood shake roof was beyond repair and no longer compliant with modern standards.

Copper elements were irreparably damaged and required full replacement.
