Storm & Hail Damage Repair in Palatine

Call or text (815) 585-1750 day or night if a storm stained a ceiling or broke the siding at your Palatine home. We dry it out, rebuild the ceiling so the stain does not come back through, repair the exterior, and document it for your claim.

Palatine storm repair: exterior, drying and ceilings

Our storm and hail repair handles the exterior damage and the water it let in. Siding, trim, soffit, fascia and gutters are replaced where they were damaged. Water inside is extracted, dried with dehumidifiers and air movers, and checked daily with a meter. ONIT Solutions then rebuilds the ceilings and walls, from insulation and drywall to texture and paint.

Palatine is on our regular route up Route 53, with Rand Road, Northwest Highway and Dundee Road taking us across the village, past Harper College and the downtown by the Metra station. It is a Cook County village next to Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows and Hoffman Estates. Inside the house, storm water tends to show up on a ceiling as a brown ring or a soft, sagging spot. A ceiling that only dried can still show that ring through new paint, so we either replace the drywall or seal the stain with a stain-blocking primer, depending on whether the board is still sound.

Storm & Hail Damage Repair by ONIT Solutions

What Palatine storm repair includes

Ceiling assessment

We check the ceiling with a meter and by hand to decide whether the drywall can dry in place or has to come out.

Insulation above

Wet insulation above the ceiling is removed and replaced once the area reads dry.

Stain blocking

Ceilings that stay are sealed with a stain-blocking primer so the water ring does not bleed through the new paint.

Texture match

New drywall is finished to match the texture around it, so the patch does not stand out.

Exterior repairs

Siding, trim, soffit, fascia and gutters damaged by wind or hail are replaced and matched to the house.

Drying

Water is extracted, and drying equipment runs on daily rates you see in writing first.

FAQ

Storm & Hail Damage Repair in Palatine: questions

Can a stained ceiling be painted, or does it need to be replaced?
If the drywall dried out firm and flat, we seal the stain with a stain-blocking primer and paint. If it sagged, crumbled or stayed wet, it comes out and new drywall goes up. We check it with a meter before deciding.
Where did the water come from if the roof looks fine?
It can come through an open soffit, a gutter overflowing behind the fascia, or damaged siding. If the roof is the cause, a roofer handles the roof. We find the opening we can fix, close it and dry the ceiling.
Is a permit needed for storm repairs in Palatine?
Siding, electrical and structural work can need a village permit, while drywall and paint usually do not. Where Palatine requires one, we pull it and schedule the inspection.
How long does a ceiling repair take?
Drying comes first and usually takes a few days, depending on the readings. The drywall, texture and paint follow over several more days, since each coat needs time to dry. Call or text (815) 585-1750 for a firm schedule after the estimate.
Do you also work near Palatine?
Yes. We handle storm repairs in Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows, Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg.
