Storm Damage Restoration

Full-service exterior inspections, documentation, and restoration guidance after hail, wind, and insurance-related damage.

Storm Damage / Exterior Restoration

After hail or wind, the whole exterior needs to be understood.

Storm Damage Restoration is not just roofing. Hail and wind can affect shingles, flashing, siding, gutters, downspouts, windows, fascia, soffit, vents, wraps, and the small exterior details that determine whether a home is truly restored.

Exterior Echelon helps homeowners document what happened, understand the visible damage, review insurance scopes, and restore the exterior with one coordinated team. We do not guarantee claim approval. We do provide clear inspection notes, honest guidance, and a cleaner path through the process.

Founder Trust / Since 1998

Local accountability when storm damage gets confusing.

Enzo del Balzo brings industry experience dating back to 1998, with a focus on straight answers, detailed documentation, and homeowner education. Storm damage decisions can get expensive fast, so the first step should be calm, careful, and evidence-based.

When Exterior Echelon reviews a storm loss, the goal is to help you understand whether repair, replacement, monitoring, or an insurance conversation makes sense before anyone starts pushing you into a decision.

Documentation First

A good storm review is about evidence, not pressure.

We look for damage patterns, collateral indicators, exterior component damage, interior warning signs, and scope gaps that may need discussion. That helps separate legitimate storm concerns from normal wear, aging materials, or unrelated maintenance issues.

"Enzo from Exterior Echelon came to my home for a roof repair. He was on time and professional. He found the issue and made the repair. It’s nice to work with a company you can trust to do the work right. I highly recommend Exterior Echelon for roofing and repairs."

Keith Wrzala
"Enzo is my go to for exteriors! He's thorough bringing innovative ideas on design with a great selection of trusted product choices. He has years of experience in the trade and goes above and beyond - very responsive when I reach out. I regularly refer him out to local businesses, friends and family. You will be in good hands from small to large projects."

Amy Wolfe
"I'd give a sixth star if they could. Throughout the entire sales cycle the last thing I felt was pressured or taken advantage of financially. They were competitive cost-wise, punctual and honest. Day of install was beyond impressive as they were in and out in just under two hours, they even fixed some flashing that was already messed up without complaint or excuse. It's unfortunate that gutters take so long to be replaced or I'd call them every year. All contractors should aspire to be as great as Echelon; the company name is definitive and fitting. If you need gutters, do the three quotes thing. Then call Echelon."

Justin Manack
"Excellent customer service! Very pleased with his attention to detail and how helpful he was. Thanks for a great experience."

Vickie Zinnel
"Enzo gave my roof a look for storm damage. While some roofing companies would tell you to go ahead and submit paperwork to your insurance company, Enzo was honest and direct about what he found. He was also very friendly and willing to give me additional information on my roof."

Scott Fletcher
"Enzo at Exterior Echelon was absolutely fantastic to work with! He gave me amazing options to enhance my home's curb appeal. I had some ideas in mind and he was very helpful in educating me on what would or wouldn't work within my budget or guiding me on my return on investment. His attention to detail and ability to help me choose the right materials and design made the process so easy. My home looks incredible now, and I feel confident in the quality of the work. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about their customers and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Enzo and Exterior Echelon!"

Patti Wolf
"What can I say, our experience with Exterior Echelon, Inc was top notch and one of the most professional jobs we've ever had complete on our home. Enzo did an incredible job, making sure all of our needs were met and exceeded our expectations. The completed project made an instant upgrade to the exterior presence of our home. I would definitely recommend Exterior Echelon, Inc for all your exterior home needs."

Alexander Engler
"We had a great experience with Exterior Echelon! Enzo came out to assess our roof and walked us through everything he was seeing during the inspection. We knew there was some sort of issue, just not exactly what it was, and he clearly explained the problem along with the age of the roof and recommendations for replacement down the line. What really stood out was that he was able to make the repair the same day - and at a very reasonable price. He truly went above and beyond. Friendly, professional, and trustworthy from start to finish. We could not be happier with the service and quality of work. Highly recommend!"

Brittany Payne
"Exterior Echelon is phenomenal. The owner came out to help me with a roof leak. He was very prompt and took his time inspecting the roof. He was very honest and I trusted I was getting the correct information vs a storm chaser company. Being a single woman I really appreciate feeling like I'm not getting the runaround. I would highly recommend using Enzo and his team any day."

Carly Worthington
"We recently had our skylight replaced and two bathroom vents installed, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. Enzo and his crew (Fabian and Efrain) showed up on time, were very professional, and did great quality work. Everything was completed efficiently and cleaned up afterward. Very happy with the results and would definitely recommend them!"

Jay Podzimek
"Exterior Echelon did an amazing job on my roof, siding and gutters! Enzo was great to work with. He didn't try to over-sell and I never felt pressured. He guided me on the best materials for the job. He was very honest about the process and built trust with me. When he and his team did the job, he kept me updated every step of the way. I love pulling up to my house now. It looks so nice! I've gotten many compliments on it from the neighbors. The materials are high quality, and the manufacturer backed warranty is a bonus! I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and reliable exterior company!"

Julie Duppler
"Had such a great, stress-free experience working with Exterior Echelon. They easily understood the exterior details that we were looking to achieve. They planned accordingly on their end, showed up at the given time, and got the job done, as it always should be. I don't know why service like Echelon provided is so hard to come by. Not only did they get the job done, the craftsmanship was top-notch and the product they suggested was great quality. We couldn't be happier to have found Exterior Echelon!"

Kelly Schuttler
"Enzo and his crew did an amazing job installing James Hardie siding, a new roof and gutters on my house in October of 2022. He and his team even went above and beyond by executing some architectural details that weren't there previously. Everything has held up great! Last year we had a minor issue with one of the gutters and Enzo personally came out and installed a solution that took care of it. I'm an incredibly particular person and I was very happy with the job they did."

Elizabeth May
"We've known Enzo for more than ten years. At that time, we just purchased our house and it started leaking and made a big mess to one of our bedrooms. Enzo was the Project manager. He came to the meeting very prepared, organized, detailed. He and his team members were all very nice, pleasant and skilled on site. From quoting to the final inspection, Enzo was very professional. He led efforts to ensure we were completely satisfied and beyond. Thank you very much! After displaying such professionalism on the first project, we trusted his team to complete several roof projects so far (the most recent one was a few days ago for one of our rental properties). He and his team members are fantastic because they paid close attention to every detail and we knew our roof was going to be completed with care and done right. My husband and I are very happy with the end result and would recommend and will use his business for future projects."

Chan Ji

"Great service both before and after installation. Friendly people who will spend time explaining what they are doing. I definitely highly recommend them for gutter work."

Mike Elis
"I highly recommend Exterior Echelon! Enzo and his team did a fantastic job on my roof and gutters. Everything was explained clearly at the beginning of the project and Enzo was available to answer any questions we had during the process. His team finished the job quickly, the quality of their work is excellent, and they left everything cleaner than when they arrived! My roof and gutters look great!"

Ryan Larson
"I called Exterior Echelon for my mom's roof. I didn't want her to get scammed by a door-to-door or shady roofing contractor. He came out right away for a quote and completed the job quickly after. His team's attention to detail while demoing the existing roof and installing the new roof was top tier. I would definitely use them again."

Jeff Napolilli
"After a hailstorm, I hired Exterior Echelon to replace my roof and gutters. Enzo came out and explained the whole process in a way that made everything easy to understand. He was a huge help with my insurance claim, making sure my home was restored properly and up to current codes. He also helped us pick a unique color that fits my house perfectly! The team worked quickly, efficiently, and left everything spotless. They're a solid company!"

Jeffrey Chouinard
"Exterior Echelon, Inc. replaced my garage roof and I am very satisfied with the results. The teamwork on the job was professional and courteous. The work was done in a timely manner, including an excellent clean-up job. I highly recommend Enzo and his crew."

Mary Napolilli
"I had hail damage to my roof, but when I filed a claim, USAA initially denied it. Enzo came out, documented everything thoroughly, and was able to help me get their denial overturned. Once that was settled, I hired him and his team to replace my roof and gutters. They did an incredible job from start to finish, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I've already referred Enzo to several friends, and he's taken care of them just as well."

Amy Mock
"I hired Exterior Echelon to update my entire exterior, including a new roof, soffit, fascia, gutters, windows, and siding. Enzo suggested adding engineered wood trim to give the project an upgraded look, and it turned out fantastic! He was very accommodating with samples and suggestions throughout the process, not to mention offering a very competitive price. I couldn't recommend them more. My neighbors constantly ask who did the work and compliment how great the house looks. I've already referred Exterior Echelon to several neighbors, friends, and co-workers, and they have used them as well."

Michael McCarthy
"Immediately following a big storm, storm chasers were at my door advising me of reports of roof damage in the area and said from looking at my roof it was several years old. I reached out to reputable Exterior Echelon for an honest opinion. Enzo came out and quickly surveyed the roof and exterior. He pointed out a few flaws but nothing that needed immediate attention. I appreciate him not trying to scare me into thinking I needed a whole new roof and educated me on what to look for if I really did have damage."

Nicole Kvasnicka
"Working with Enzo and Exterior Echelon was amazing. Enzo listened to us and helped us select the best siding and roofing while staying within our price point and ensuring top-notch quality. Even with the large scale of the project, communication was excellent throughout the process, and we always felt involved and heard. We're thrilled with the results - highly recommend them to all my neighbors, friends, and family."

Katherine M
"Enzo is the model for prompt customer service. He is SO easy to work with, which makes the stressful task of siding and roofing replacement much less so. The business world could use more like him. The man has ethics, which are in short supply these days. I can't recommend him enough."

Carl Barnes
"I couldn't ask for a better experience. Roof and gutters were done on time and look very nice and definitely add value and beauty to my home. The crew was very efficient and professional. They certainly exceeded my expectations. I'm sure anyone in the area who sees their work and needs a roof or gutters will want to hire Echelon. I would recommend them to anyone who asks me about their services. Enzo follows through and makes sure everything is done satisfactorily."

Margaret Love
"They did a great job of explaining everything in detail and letting us know our options. Enzo and the crew worked with us every step of the way. Great overall experience!"

Cliff Pawlak
"Enzo and the whole crew did an excellent job. The attention to details and the smallest issues was excellent. The job was completed on time and budget. Enzo helped with the color selection to best coordinate with the color of my house. My overall experience was excellent and I would use Exterior Echelon again."

Storm Damage FAQ

Common storm restoration questions.

Hail damage can show up as shingle bruising, granule displacement, cracked siding, dents in gutters or soft metals, and damaged screens or wraps. A ground-level look is not enough for a clear answer.
Usually, it is smarter to document the visible conditions first. A claim should be based on real, documentable storm damage and a basic understanding of your deductible and policy terms.
Yes. Storm damage is not limited to shingles. Gutters, downspouts, screens, window wraps, fascia, soffit, vents, and exterior metals can all be part of the same loss.
When scheduling allows, we can be present to discuss visible exterior conditions and documentation. We do not control the insurance decision or promise approval.
A supplement is a request to review legitimate missing, unclear, or changed scope items after the initial insurance estimate. It should be backed by documentation, not guesswork.
It can. Matching depends on the material, age, availability, policy language, and visible repair area. We can help explain the practical restoration concern without pretending every policy handles it the same way.
Slow down, verify the company, read what you sign, understand your deductible, and make sure the inspection is documented. Storm urgency should not replace clear judgment.
You can request a free storm damage assessment. We will review the basics, discuss what you are seeing, and explain the next reasonable step.
