Taking A Look At The Process Behind Allstate Exteriors’ Services

Allstate Exteriors • September 6, 2021

Home improvements generally fall into two categories: emergency repairs and planned renovations. For both types, you can rely on one company to handle your home with TLC. Though the time frames may differ slightly between the two categories, the process behind all of the services offered by Allstate Exteriors & Restoration Services, LLC. is the same. 

Storm Damage

After a storm ravages your Florida, Iowa, or Ohio home, you need prompt action by a contractor you can trust. Contractors are accustomed to working with insurance companies, but not all contractors treat storm damage equally. 

Look for a contractor familiar with supplemental insurance, strong affiliations to leading manufacturers, and a commitment to completing every job — big or small — to the customer’s satisfaction. After you file an insurance claim, Allstate will work closely with you to provide documentation of the damage, an estimate of repairs needed, and a complete Scope of Work with full details. This ensures you get the maximum benefits from your insurance company and your home is fully restored. 

Home Remodeling

Most residential contractors do not fill their days exclusively with insurance claim repair work to roofs, gutters, and siding. They also handle planned remodeling and improvements. You can add curb appeal and boost home value with a wisely selected facelift of new siding, a new roof, or other updates. Selecting the right contractor for a home improvement project, like storm restoration, is critical to success. You want someone dependable, with a proven track record, and a dedicated, highly trained crew. 

One benefit to planning a home improvement project is your opportunity to expand your horizons. You may have wanted only new, gleaming gutters for your home. When you meet with a friendly Allstate representative, you may see that a project of, say, fresh siding and gutters makes sense. 

Perhaps a roof and siding project done together will update your home and significantly increase curb appeal. Your home will already be slightly disrupted by one job; you can minimize the time frame and get your sparkling new facelift faster by combining projects. 

The Process

Allstate Exteriors is determined to help homeowners protect their families and defend their homes. Through many facets of advertising, we’re trying to save homeowners from “Chuck in a truck” contractors. We reassure homeowners by giving them transparent contracts on what work is to be done, we are negotiable when it comes to price to fit the homeowner’s needs, and we are right by your side through this 7 step process:

  1. Our scheduling team will work with you to find a convenient appointment for an initial assessment; naturally, emergency services take priority over planned remodeling, but we will do everything we can to get to you as quickly as possible.
  2. The initial appointment at your home will include a complete inspection, photographs, and (if needed) video, measurements, paperwork, and details about the project. If the call is for emergency storm repair, we will place tarps over your roof and do all we can to prevent further damage.
  3. Your project is loaded into our system, so nothing is overlooked. The paperwork and project are approved by our production coordinator.
  4. The production manager verifies measurements, inspects pictures and video, orders materials (using all resources available to secure the lowest price and earliest delivery), writes up the Work Order, including a Scope of Work and detailed crew instructions, and prepares notes needed for complicated aspects of the job or safety measures required.
  5. Your project is scheduled, with 99 percent of the jobs falling within a two- to four-week window after Step 3; the actual schedule is highly dependent on material availability, shipping, and delivery, all of which is beyond our control.
  6. Project managers and the quality control manager will oversee the first day of the project to ensure proper repairs and installation.
  7. The project manager or another Allstate representative will return when the project is completed, inspecting the work, producing a punch list of final tasks, and ensuring your complete satisfaction.

Many homeowners are surprised to find the process is very similar, whether for emergency storm repair to a roof or a long-contemplated home renovation project of fresh, new siding. In both categories of home improvement, the contractor and crew are critical to success. Selecting the ideal contractor is easier than you may realize. Look for a contractor able to show a real physical address in your community, proper licensing and insurance, and a record of satisfied customers. We can save you a step on this: look for Allstate Exteriors & Restoration Services, LLC.

Cool Roofs: Designed to reflect more sunlight and absorb less heat, cool roofs help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, reducing energy costs. Green Roofs: Incorporating vegetation layers, green roofs improve air quality and provide natural insulation. What is the future of eco-friendly roofing? The future of roofing is shifting toward sustainable materials and innovative designs that maximize energy efficiency. With advancements in solar-integrated roofing and self-repairing materials, Columbus homeowners can expect more options that balance sustainability with cost-effectiveness. Advanced Roofing Technology Technological advancements are enhancing the functionality and longevity of roofs. Homeowners are now integrating smart features and innovative materials to improve performance. Key Technological Innovations: Solar Roofing: Solar shingles blend seamlessly with traditional roofing materials, allowing homeowners to generate electricity without compromising aesthetics.

Energy-Efficient Insulation: Modern insulation materials enhance energy efficiency, keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer. What is the newest type of roofing? One of the most cutting-edge innovations in construction materials is self-healing technology. These advanced surfaces use nanotechnology to repair minor cracks and leaks, significantly reducing maintenance costs. Additionally, solar-integrated designs are gaining traction, allowing homeowners to harness solar power without the need for traditional panels. Metal Roofing Systems: Metal roofing offers exceptional durability and a modern appearance, making it an attractive option for many homeowners. Benefits of Metal Roofing: Longevity: Metal roofs can last 50 years or more with proper maintenance. Weather Resistance: They withstand extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow and high winds. Energy Efficiency: Metal reflects solar radiant heat, reducing cooling costs. What are the drawbacks of metal roofing? While metal roofing is durable and energy-efficient, some homeowners are concerned about higher upfront costs and potential noise during rainstorms. However, modern insulation solutions have significantly minimized these issues. Enhanced Aesthetic Customization Homeowners are moving beyond traditional roofing colors and styles, opting for designs that reflect their personal taste and enhance curb appeal. Current Aesthetic Trends: Bold Colors: Shades like blue, red, and plum are becoming popular, offering a striking contrast to conventional neutrals.

Architectural Shingles: These provide a dimensional appearance, mimicking the look of natural materials like slate or wood. What is the most popular roof style?

Energy-Saving Roofing Materials: Reflective Shingles: These shingles reflect more sunlight, keeping homes cooler. Proper Ventilation Systems: Ensuring adequate roof ventilation prevents heat buildup, enhancing energy efficiency. How can homeowners improve their roof’s energy efficiency? Beyond choosing energy-efficient materials, homeowners can install radiant barriers, improve attic insulation, and maintain proper roof ventilation to maximize energy savings.
