Local Public Adjuster Serving Chicago's North and Northwest Suburbs

When a storm hits your neighborhood, the insurance company sends an adjuster who works for them. We're the licensed adjuster who works only for you. And we're local.

Barrington Claims Consultants serves homeowners across Chicago's north and northwest suburbs. We cover Barrington, Barrington Hills, South Barrington, Lake Zurich, Kildeer, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Libertyville, Hinsdale, and Burr Ridge, spanning Lake, Cook, DuPage, and McHenry counties.

That coverage map isn't a marketing radius. It's where we actually work claims, every week, alongside trusted local roofing partners who are on roofs in these same towns. When we review your damage and prepare your Proof of Loss, that hands-on connection means our documentation reflects what storm repairs to roofs, siding, and exteriors actually cost in your area, not a generic regional estimate.

Maxwell McCaulley is a licensed Illinois Public Adjuster, license #21572913. You can look up any public adjuster's license yourself through the Illinois Department of Insurance. We work only for the policyholder, never the insurance company.

A lot of claim help comes from out-of-state firms that treat the north suburbs as one undifferentiated market. A burst pipe in a Lake Forest lakeshore home, hail on a South Barrington estate roof, and wind damage to a Hinsdale tear-down rebuild are not the same claim, and they shouldn't be documented the same way. Local knowledge changes outcomes.

The process is the same whether you're in Barrington or Burr Ridge. It starts with a free, no-obligation policy and damage review.

First, we review your policy and inspect your damage at no cost to you. Next, we document the full scope of the loss and prepare a proper Proof of Loss, the formal statement of what you're owed. Then we handle the carrier, negotiating on your behalf to pursue the maximum fair settlement you're owed under your policy.

You handle your life. We handle the claim. There's no large upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee, a percentage of the additional amount we recover for you, so our goal and your goal are the same from day one.

Deadlines can apply under both your policy and Illinois law, so it's best not to wait. A quick free review now tells you exactly where you stand.

Every town we serve has its own page, with local storm history, county building and permit context, the neighborhoods nearby, and the perils we see most often there. Find your suburb below to see how we help homeowners in your community, then start your free claim review.

We serve Barrington, Barrington Hills, South Barrington, Lake Zurich, Kildeer, Lake Forest, Highland Park, Libertyville, Hinsdale, and Burr Ridge, across Lake, Cook, DuPage, and McHenry counties. Don't see your town listed? If you're anywhere in the north or northwest suburbs, call us. There's a good chance we already work claims on your street.

No matter which town you're in, the claims we handle are the same. If your home took hail or wind damage, if your roof or siding is failing after a storm, if water got in, or if your claim came back denied or underpaid, a free review is the fastest way to learn what your claim is really worth. Our work alongside trusted local roofing partners means storm-damage claims to roofs, siding, and exteriors get documentation grounded in real repair costs.
