Storm Guard Roofing of Madison

09/09/2026

How do I find a reputable roofer after a storm in Madison?

After a big hailstorm, companies arrive from Texas, Illinois, Minnesota. They work the area while it is busy and then they go home.

The problem shows up later. If something needs attention in two years, nobody is driving twelve hours back for it. And crews hired quickly in an unfamiliar town are rarely anyone's A crew.

Stay local. Check the address, not just the area code.

Will my premium go up after I file a claim?

If it was a large hailstorm that hit thousands of homes in your area, rates in that area may well rise whether or not you personally file, because the risk has changed.

For a smaller storm it is a fairer question. You do not want to be a homeowner who files lots of claims, so file when there is a legitimate reason to.

That is exactly why it helps to have someone who knows hail and wind damage look first. If the damage is real, filing makes sense. If it is not, there is nothing to file and nothing lost.

How Wisconsin is our sales manager? Born here, raised here, UW Madison, never left and no plans to.

Packers, though he will point out you forgot the Bucks. Fall is the sweet spot, September into October, cold mornings and warm afternoons. The hidden gem is the Mount Vernon Tap out past Mount Horeb, where the pizza is fourteen dollars and worth the drive on its own.

The best thing about living here, he reckons, is that you can be out on the lakes, downtown on campus, or twenty minutes away surrounded by cows. A bit of everything.

Cheese: mozzarella or pepper jack depending on the meal. Just never Limburger.

That is who is on your roof. Local, and staying local.

Actual cash value or replacement cost? One line in your policy decides what you actually receive.

Replacement cost pays what it costs to tear the old roof off and put a new one on today.

Actual cash value pays the depreciated figure. So a twenty thousand dollar roof at half its expected life pays around ten, and the rest is yours to find.

Look through your policy, or ask your agent whether you hold ACV or RCV on the roof. It is worth knowing before the storm, not after.

Why can't insurance just replace the one damaged wall of siding?

This is an attempted repair, and it is how we prove they cannot.

First we photograph the manufacturer marks on your existing siding, so the insurer knows exactly what is on the house. Then we measure the old boards, full length and lap exposure, and measure the new ones the same way. Then we hang the new pieces against the old.

Then the photographs. Straight on. From an angle. From across the yard. In different light, because light changes everything.

The colour has shifted with years of sun. The woodgrain does not line up. That evidence is what gets the whole home covered properly instead of leaving you with one wall that never matches the rest.

How do I file a roof insurance claim?

Unless you already know the damage is significant, get a roofer up there before you file anything.

If there is nothing wrong, there is no sense in a claim at all. If your car is dented and the hail was clearly large, you already have your answer and you can go ahead.

Either way, someone who does insurance restoration will inspect, photograph, show you what they found, and talk you through what filing would actually mean.

He calls himself a consultant rather than a salesman, and he means it. Inspections, options laid out, an honest read on the best course of action.

Off the clock: a phone background of his wife and their dog. Fall, because he can be outdoors without sweating through it. Up at four most mornings with the dog, though he is not above a late night. Across the Spider-Verse is the favourite film, and he thinks you should watch it even if you have no interest in Spider-Man.

The fun fact nobody expects is that he used to DJ, and helped put together a stage at Summerfest.

Ask him the best part of working here and he says the support. Not just for him, but for his wife through a brutal storm season.
