Springtime Hail Storms hit McHenry County

Today was the first hail storm in McHenry County for 2011. Crystal Lake, Huntley, Island Lake, Harvard and McHenry among other surrounding communities were hit with hail stones ranging from a pea to a gumball!  Although exciting to watch such a phenomenom, the results of these “ice balls” can be devasting to your home – and your patience!

Areas in McHenry County that have been hit with these hail storms, can be flooded with fly by night contractors and “get rich quick” contractors; therefore, testing your patience and causing homeowners to be skeptical and skiddish when working with legitimate contractors. There are a few things homeowners MUST consider when choosing a contractor to represent them to their insurance companies and perform the work involved.

  1. How long has the company been in business?
  2. Does the company do other work besides “storm chasing”?
  3. Is the company insured? Licensed? Bonded in your village or town?
  4. Does the company have a physical location other than someone’s home?
  5. Can the company provide professional references?

Here are Innovative Home Concepets answers to all these questions and more!
