When a storm rolls through the Midwest, it doesn’t just bring thunder and rain—it brings worry. You’re standing in your yard the next morning, looking up at shingles scattered across your lawn or siding hanging loose. Maybe there’s water in your ceiling or a broken window letting in the wind.
At that moment, you don’t just need a contractor—you need a partner who’s been here before, knows what to do, and actually cares about getting it done right. That’s where Pillar Exteriors comes in.
We’ve been serving Omaha, Council Bluffs, and surrounding Iowa and Nebraska communities for more than a decade, and we’ve helped thousands of homeowners navigate the chaos that follows hail, wind, and storm damage. From the first inspection to the final handshake, our job is to make the process as easy, transparent, and stress-free as possible—especially when insurance companies are involved.
The Truth About Storm Damage Insurance Claims
When you file an insurance claim after storm damage, you expect your policy to cover the repairs. But the reality is, many homeowners end up feeling overwhelmed, confused, or even shortchanged. Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company—not for you.
That’s why it’s crucial to have a local, experienced contractor on your side who knows how to properly assess damage and advocate for you during the claims process.
At Pillar Exteriors, we’re not just experts in roofing, siding, windows, and gutters—we’re experts in insurance restoration. We’ve seen every trick in the book, from adjusters underestimating repair costs to overlooking hail impacts that can lead to major leaks down the road.
When we step onto your property, we’re there to document every single detail of the damage and make sure nothing is missed in your claim. Because when insurance doesn’t pay what’s fair, you’re the one left holding the bag. And we’re not okay with that.
Local Storms. Local Experts. Real Support.
We’re not a storm-chasing company that blows into town after a storm and disappears when the work’s done. Pillar Exteriors is locally owned and operated right here in the heart of the Midwest.
When storms hit Omaha, Council Bluffs, Missouri Valley, Glenwood, or any of the surrounding communities, we’re out there with our neighbors—helping tarp roofs, secure properties, and begin the restoration process.
Our reputation means everything to us, and we’ve built it by being there when our community needs us most. We live here. We work here. And we’re proud to stand behind every roof, window, and siding job we complete.
What Makes Pillar Exteriors Different
We know you have options when it comes to storm restoration contractors. So why choose Pillar Exteriors?
1. We Work for YOU—Not the Insurance Company
We act as your advocate through the entire claims process. From the initial inspection to working directly with your adjuster, we ensure all legitimate damage is documented, submitted, and covered. We’ll walk you through the claim step-by-step, translating the insurance jargon into plain English so you know exactly what’s going on.
2. We’re Certified, Experienced, and Local
We’re proud to hold an A+ BBB Rating and have more than 10 years of experience serving both Iowa and Nebraska homeowners. Our crews are licensed, insured, and trained to handle everything from minor repairs to full replacements after severe hail or wind damage.
3. We Offer Full-Service Exterior Restoration
While some companies only handle roofing, we take a whole-home approach to storm restoration:
- Roof replacement and repair (asphalt, metal, flat roofs)
- Siding replacement (vinyl, fiber cement, LP SmartSide, and more)
- Window replacement and installation
- Gutter replacement and protection systems
- Solar options for energy-efficient upgrades during your rebuild
If the storm hit it—we can fix it.
4. We Value Integrity Over Everything
Storm restoration can be messy. Too many “contractors” show up after a storm promising fast fixes or free roofs, but leave homeowners with poor workmanship or unpaid claims. At Pillar, our word is our bond. We don’t cut corners, we don’t play games, and we don’t leave until the job is done right.
5. We Keep It Simple
Dealing with storm damage is stressful enough. Our process is designed to take the headache out of restoration. You get one dedicated project manager, clear communication from start to finish, and full transparency on your insurance claim and repairs.
The Pillar Exteriors Insurance Claim Process
We’ve simplified the process to make storm restoration easier for homeowners. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Free Inspection & Documentation
Our experts perform a thorough exterior inspection of your roof, siding, windows, and gutters. We take photos, measurements, and detailed notes to ensure nothing is overlooked. If damage is found, we’ll provide a full damage report to support your insurance claim.
Step 2: File Your Claim
If we confirm storm damage, you’ll contact your insurance provider to start the claim. Once your claim is filed, we coordinate directly with your insurance adjuster to ensure everything is properly assessed and included.
Step 3: Adjuster Meeting & Review
We’ll meet with the insurance adjuster on-site to make sure they see all areas of damage. This step is critical—many homeowners miss out on full coverage because the adjuster simply doesn’t see everything. We make sure they do.
Step 4: Claim Approval & Material Selection
Once your claim is approved, we help you choose high-quality materials for your repairs or replacement. Whether it’s shingles, siding, or windows, we only use trusted brands that stand the test of time.
Step 5: Restoration Begins
Our crew gets to work restoring your home. We handle everything—permits, scheduling, cleanup, and quality checks. When we’re done, your home looks brand new, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing it’s built to withstand the next storm.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough & Warranty
Before we consider a project complete, we walk through every detail with you. We also provide a workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties for added protection.

Common Storm Damage Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
Not all storm damage is obvious. Some issues hide beneath the surface and only become major problems months later. After a hail or wind event, look for these red flags:
- Missing or lifted shingles
- Dents or bruises on shingles from hail
- Cracked or bent siding
- Leaks or water stains on ceilings
- Drafty or broken windows
- Granules in your gutters
- Sagging or loose gutters
If you see any of these, call Pillar for a free, no-obligation inspection. We’ll document the damage, show you photos, and let you know if it qualifies for a claim.
