Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I notice shingle granules in my gutters or a leak in my roof valley?
These are common issues in Chicago due to our freeze-thaw cycles and severe weather. Granule loss indicates aging shingles, while valley leaks are critical as they channel water. We recommend a professional roof inspection immediately. Ast General Contracting provides free storm damage inspections to assess the problem, determine if it's storm-related for insurance purposes, and recommend the right repair or replacement to prevent interior damage to your home.
Do you handle the entire process for a home addition or ADU construction?
Yes, as a full-service general contractor, we manage the entire project from concept to completion. This includes initial design consultation, securing necessary permits for Chicago and local suburbs, all construction phases—from foundation work to roofing and siding—and final inspections. Whether it's a bedroom addition, a detached garage, or an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), we coordinate all trades and ensure the new structure seamlessly integrates with your existing home.
You mention help with insurance claims for storm damage. How does that work?
With over 16 years of specialized roofing experience, we are familiar with the damage patterns insurers look for. After our free inspection, we document all storm-related issues with detailed photos and notes. We can then provide you with a comprehensive repair estimate that aligns with insurance claim requirements and can communicate directly with your adjuster to clarify the scope of work, helping to ensure you receive a fair settlement for necessary repairs like roof, siding, or gutter replacement.
