We Handle The Insurance. You Collect The Check.

Western PA and Eastern Ohio sit directly in one of the most active hail and wind corridors in the eastern United States. Every spring and summer, storm cells roll through Mercer County, Allegheny County, Mahoning County, and across the Ohio border leaving damage that most homeowners never fully see — because most of it is only visible from the roof itself. Granule loss. Dented ridge caps. Cracked shingles. Bent flashing. The damage is real. Your policy covers it. But carriers — Allstate, Erie Insurance, State Farm, Progressive, USAA, Nationwide — don't write checks for what you don't document.

TriState Home Consulting Group specializes in exactly this. We have documented hundreds of storm claims across Western PA and Eastern Ohio. We know the difference between functional damage and cosmetic damage in the eyes of every adjuster. We know what O&P is and how to demand it. We know which materials require matching provisions when they've been discontinued. And we know exactly how to get a full replacement claim approved from a carrier that opened at 40% coverage.

The TriState Storm Claim Process

Step 1 — Free Roof Inspection & Documentation

We get on the roof with CompanyCam and document every impact point, every course of shingles, every piece of flashing. We cross-reference the date of loss against verified weather event data. You get a full photo report your adjuster cannot dismiss.

Step 2 — File The Claim & Meet The Adjuster

We assist you in filing or you file directly — whichever you prefer. When the adjuster comes out, we're on the roof with them. We point out every hit, every damaged section, every item the initial estimate is about to miss. This single step changes claim outcomes dramatically.

Step 3 — Supplement For Everything Missed

The first estimate is almost never complete. We build the supplement: O&P, ice and water shield, drip edge, matching provisions, code upgrades, permit fees, decking damage found during tear-off. We know the Xactimate line items. We know the arguments. We file until the check is right.

Step 4 — Full Replacement Installed

Claim approved. Materials ordered. Same IKO RoofPro certified crew that did the inspection does the install. Full tear-off, synthetic underlayment, new shingles, all flashings, final walkthrough. CompanyCam photo report delivered.

What We Fight For On Every Claim

  • O&P (Overhead & Profit) — Carriers routinely omit it. It's legally owed when a GC manages multiple trades. We demand it.
  • Matching provisions — If discontinued materials can't be matched, full replacement of affected areas is warranted in most PA and OH policy language.
  • Ice and water shield — Required by Pennsylvania and Ohio code in vulnerable areas. Often omitted from first estimates.
  • Drip edge — Another code-required item frequently missing from carrier estimates.
  • Decking damage — Found during tear-off. We document before covering and supplement immediately.
  • Brittle test failures — Older shingles that can't be safely repaired require full replacement. We know how to document this argument.
  • Permit fees — Required in most jurisdictions. Owed by the carrier.
  • Depreciation recovery (RCV vs. ACV) — We help you understand your policy and recover held-back depreciation.

Hail Data: Why Western PA & Eastern Ohio

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tracks hail events across the United States. Western Pennsylvania and the Mahoning Valley consistently rank among the most active hail corridors in the eastern US. Mercer County, Lawrence County, and Trumbull County see multiple significant hail events per year. Most homeowners never notice the damage until a leak appears — which can be months after the storm date and may be after the claim window has closed.

Every carrier we work with — Allstate, Erie Insurance, State Farm, Progressive, USAA, Nationwide, Farmers, Cincinnati Financial — has adjusters who know this territory well. So do we. We've been fighting these claims in this region since we opened and we know exactly what documentation each carrier responds to.

Don't Let Your Adjuster Inspect Alone

The single biggest mistake Western PA and Eastern Ohio homeowners make is letting the insurance adjuster walk the roof without a contractor present. Adjusters work for the carrier. Their job is to assess — and frequently their initial assessment misses covered items. Once they write their report, supplementing it is harder than having it right the first time. Call us before you schedule the adjuster. We go up first.

Frequently Asked Questions — Storm Damage & Insurance Claims

If your policy includes wind and hail coverage — which most standard homeowner policies in PA and Ohio do — and we can document damage tied to a storm event, yes. The real fight is getting full replacement value rather than a lowball initial estimate. TriState handles that fight across every major carrier in the region.
Most PA and Ohio policies require reporting storm damage within one year of the event, but many have 30–60 day notice provisions. The sooner you call, the stronger the documentation. Weather event data can be pulled retroactively but physical documentation must be done before work begins. Don't wait.
A supplement is additional compensation your insurance company owes when the initial estimate misses covered items — O&P, matching material provisions, ice and water shield, drip edge, decking damage found during tear-off, permit fees, and more. Supplements often add thousands to a claim. TriState files them on every job where they're warranted.
Overhead and Profit is a standard line item that covers the general contractor's cost to coordinate and manage the project — overhead expenses, profit margin, and project management. Insurance carriers frequently omit it from the first estimate despite it being a standard Xactimate line. TriState knows exactly how to document the requirement and demand it from any carrier.
All of them. Allstate, Erie Insurance, State Farm, Progressive, USAA, Nationwide, Farmers, Cincinnati Financial, Auto-Owners, Travelers, and any other carrier writing policies in PA or Ohio. We know how each one operates and what documentation they require for full approval.
You're responsible for your deductible. Beyond that, when the claim is properly documented and approved for full replacement value, you pay nothing additional. TriState fights to make sure the check covers the full scope of work your policy owes.
Call TriState immediately. We tarp if needed to prevent further damage, document the scene with CompanyCam before anything changes, and begin the claim process. Do not let your carrier's adjuster inspect alone before we've documented the roof. That first inspection sets the tone for the entire claim.
