We love these calls and stories! Our local Galesville homeowner was looking for a roofing company near them to come on out for a roof inspection. They called our roofing experts at Riverland Exteriors! We always strive to deliver the best roofing solutions for homeowners, and recently, a Galesville, WI resident saw firsthand how our expertise can make a difference. What started as a simple roof inspection on a 20-year old roof quickly ended as we discovered significant hail damage to the roof. We quickly went to work and assisted the homeowners in filing a claim. The insurance company came out and agreed with our roof assessment and paid for a full roof replacement, 100% covered by insurance as a result.

 

From Inspection to Full Roof Replacement

The best way to know if you have hail damage is to get on the roof and have an inspection done by a trained professional in identifying hail damage. Call your local roofing team at Riverland Exteriors for a free roof inspection. We will look for normal roof aging as well as roof damage due to hail and wind. With our guidance, our Galesville homeowners were able to file a successful insurance claim that fully covered the $40,000 cost of their new roof.

 

The Power of GAF Cedar Falls Shingles

For this project, the homeowners chose GAF Timberline® HDZ Cedar Falls shingles, a premium asphalt shingle designed to offer not only aesthetic appeal but also enhanced durability. These shingles come with a 50-year warranty, providing the homeowners with peace of mind knowing their new roof will stand the test of time. And that’s not all—the workmanship is covered by a 25-year warranty, meaning Riverland Exteriors stands behind the quality of the installation for decades to come.

 

Why Insurance Claims Matter

This Galesville project is a perfect example of how insurance can save homeowners thousands of dollars when roof damage is due to hail damage and wind damage. In this case, what could have been a large, out-of-pocket expense turned into a $40,000 roof replacement fully paid by the insurance company.

 

By working with Riverland Exteriors, the homeowners not only received top-tier products but also expert help in navigating the insurance claim process. We ensure that every step—from roof inspection to the final roof shingle—our roofers handle your home with care and precision.

When homeowners choose the best roofing contractor, they aren't just hiring someone to install shingles—they're placing their trust in a company to do what's right. At Riverland Exteriors, we believe every customer deserves honest recommendations, quality workmanship, and exceptional service. Recently, one experience reminded us why doing the right thing always pays off. Our local team member, Dave, was ready to help lend a helping hand! A Simple Roof Repair Became Something Much Bigger Melissa contacted Riverland Exteriors after experiencing wind damage to her roof . As you may know, we have had a few hail and wind storms this season in our local Wisconsin area. During our inspection, we found that the roof damage could be repaired using extra shingles she already had on her property. How nice is that?!? Instead of recommending an unnecessary roof replacement or charging for a simple repair, we completed the roof repair and simply asked her to remember Riverland Exteriors if she knew anyone else who might need roofing services. That honest approach made a lasting impression. One Referral Led to Another Happy Homeowner Within just one day, Melissa referred a friend who was looking for a roof replacement. After inspecting that home, we discovered hail damage that qualified for an insurance claim. Our team worked directly with the insurance company, helping the homeowner receive approval for a complete roof replacement while only paying their deductible. Not only was another family able to protect their home, but they also shared a 5-star Google review about their experience. Another 5-Star Google Review A short time later, Melissa reached out again—this time simply asking for a link to leave Riverland Exteriors a Google review. She wasn't asked to leave a review. She wanted to share her experience because she appreciated the honesty, professionalism, and customer service she received. To us, that's the highest compliment we can receive. We appreciate this review and think you are the BEST, Melissa!!! Why Honesty Matters in Roofing Not every roof needs to be replaced. Sometimes a simple repair is the right solution. Other times, storm damage may qualify for an insurance-covered replacement. Our job is to provide an honest inspection, explain your options, and help you make the best decision for your home—not the most expensive one. Whether you need a minor repair, a complete roof replacement, or help navigating an insurance claim, our goal is always the same: provide quality work while treating every homeowner with integrity and respect. Looking for a Roofing Contractor You Can Trust? If your roof has experienced wind damage, hail damage, or you're simply unsure about its condition, Riverland Exteriors is here to help . Our experienced team provides honest roof inspections, expert repairs, complete roof replacements, and assistance throughout the insurance claims process. We believe in earning customers through trust, not pressure. Thank you to Melissa for sharing her experience and trusting Riverland Exteriors. Referrals and reviews like hers remind us why putting customers first will always be our greatest investment. Take a look at the review left on Google: “Dave is, without a doubt, the kindest and most thoughtful customer service professional I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish, he made us feel valued, listened to, and genuinely appreciated. His professionalism, communication, and commitment to outstanding service are second to none. If you’re looking for a company that truly cares about its customers while delivering exceptional workmanship, this is the one to choose.
