Aurora Roof Pros provides professional storm damage restoration in Aurora, IL for residential and commercial properties across the Fox River valley. After a Fox valley storm there are two numbers that matter, and only one of them comes from your insurer. The other belongs to the city: whether the cost of putting the building back reaches half of what the structure was worth before the storm hit.
That threshold is not a technicality. Under floodplain rules a structure damaged to fifty percent or more of its pre-damage market value counts as substantially damaged, and the community can hold the repair permit until the building meets current standards. On the low ground near the river those standards can mean elevating the house. It is the one storm outcome nobody warns homeowners about until the permit desk does.
So the first thing we establish is where you actually stand. The flood panel for the address, the structure value rather than the property value, and a damage figure that is documented and defensible instead of inflated. A restoration contractor who writes the largest scope the policy will bear is not doing you a favour on a low-value structure inside the mapped area, whatever the commission looks like.
Then the work itself. Aurora storms arrive as straight-line wind coming off open prairie west of Route 47, as spring hail lines tracking up the valley, and occasionally as a limb through the deck of an older house with mature silver maples over it. We separate emergency protection from permanent repair, because they are different jobs at different prices and they are counted differently.
On the east-side houses, storm work almost always uncovers conditions the storm did not cause. Board sheathing cupped past bearing. A chimney that has stood open since the furnace was converted. Cornice returns rotted from the inside out where the boxed eave never had a drying path. We mark which findings the storm is responsible for and which were already there, and we do not pretend the second list is covered.
You receive dated photographs of every slope, a written scope tied directly to those photographs, and a plain statement of what share of the structure's value this repair represents. If that percentage is uncomfortable, the time to know it is before you sign a contract, not after the city has looked at the permit application. We would rather have that conversation early than expensively.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — laminated fibreglass shingles meeting ASTM D3462 at six nails per shingle, 1x6 square-edge board sheathing with skip gaps over rafters at 24 inches, double-lock standing seam formed on site from 24-gauge steel coil, granulated cap sheet carried up the adjoining wall as a base flashing, step flashing woven course by course into soft common-brick sidewalls, chimney taken down below the deck line with a framed and sheathed infill — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Aurora and nearby communities including North Aurora, Montgomery, Oswego, Yorkville.

Materials, equipment and how we do storm damage restoration
The difference between storm damage restoration that lasts and storm damage restoration that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with laminated fibreglass shingles meeting ASTM D3462 at six nails per shingle, 1x6 square-edge board sheathing with skip gaps over rafters at 24 inches, double-lock standing seam formed on site from 24-gauge steel coil, granulated cap sheet carried up the adjoining wall as a base flashing, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Aurora job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of roofing work in the Fox River valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Aurora Chooses Aurora Roof Pros
- ✓We read the Fox River flood map for your address before we price anything, because inside the mapped hazard area the city counts what you spend on the building and that count has a ceiling.
- ✓Every estimate states in one line whether we treat the work as maintenance, repair or improvement, and shows the figure against the structure's assessed improvement value.
- ✓On the low-lying older neighbourhoods we quote staged replacement by slope, so a house does not trip the fifty percent rule in a single season.
- ✓We refuse tile conversions on 1990s truss framing without a structural engineer's letter, and we say so before you have paid anyone for a design.
The standards behind storm damage restoration
Quality here is not a matter of opinion — it is written down. The storm damage restoration work we do in Aurora follows published industry standards: NRCA publishes the Roofing Manual, the industry's reference for details and slope minimums, and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association sets the shingle application and ventilation guidance the warranties reference. If a contractor cannot tell you which standard a detail comes from, that is worth asking about before you sign.
Every storm damage restoration project in Aurora gets the same attention, whether it is a single room or a full commercial job. We show up on schedule, keep the site clean, and stand behind the work — the estimate is free and there is no pressure.
