Storm Damage Roofing in Merrillville, IN
Merrillville sits in central Lake County at the intersection of major highways US-30 and US-65, making it vulnerable to severe storm systems year-round. The area averages 2–4 significant hail events annually and experiences regular severe thunderstorm activity April through August.
How Alamo Handles Storm Damage in Merrillville
Free Drone Inspection — We document every inch of damage with high-resolution aerial photography before your insurance adjuster visits. This documentation consistently produces better claim settlements.
Insurance Claim Documentation — Written damage report formatted for insurance submission, provided at no charge.
Adjuster Coordination — We’re on-site during the adjuster’s inspection to ensure all documented damage is noted and nothing is missed.
Supplemental Claims — When the adjuster’s estimate is lower than it should be, we prepare and submit formal supplements at no charge.
Emergency Tarping — 24/7 emergency tarping to stop active water infiltration. Mitigation costs are typically reimbursable under your policy.
ACV vs. RCV — What Merrillville Homeowners Need to Know
RCV (Replacement Cost Value): Pays full replacement cost at today’s prices minus deductible. Most homeowners have this.
ACV (Actual Cash Value): Subtracts depreciation — a 12-year-old roof may receive only 50-60% of replacement cost. Check your Policy Declarations Page.
If you have ACV coverage, our 0% financing for 18 months covers the gap at no interest cost.

What Our Customers Say
Davis was very helpful and understanding of our problem with the roof. He also did a very good job explaining our options and new roofing systems. Alamo is a great company and they do great work. I would highly recommend!
We had a tree fall on our house and it damaged our roof and siding. We called the guy who put our roof on 5 years prior and he wouldn’t respond to us. We called Alamo and our worries were over! Alamo worked with our insurance company but went way beyond. Insurance only wanted to repair the damage even though it was 2/3 damaged. Our shingles would be mismatched but Alamo gave us a new roof and brand new siding! They even covered our deductible! They’re professional, do great work and we called them back the next year to roof and side our garage so everything matches! Don’t hesitate. Call Alamo!
Amazing service and work from Alamo! Davis was super professional in his quote and follow-thru. Thanks for a great job!
