Sioux Falls · Roofing & Claims
Two jobs, one contractor — the roof and the argument with your carrier. Dakota Roofing & Claims is a woman- and veteran-owned general contractor that has been doing insurance claims as long as it has been doing roofs.
What they do
Hail doesn't stop at the roofline. It takes the gutters, the siding, the windows, the HVAC unit on the way past. Dakota became full general contractors in 2016 for exactly that reason — so one company can put the whole house back.
Laminate shingles — 3-tab, T-lock, architectural — plus designer and impact-resistant IR4, wood shakes and shingles, tile, and metal. The roof gets specified to the house, not to whatever is on the truck.
The half of a storm roof nobody warns you about. Damage assessment, the claim itself, and the argument when the first scope comes back light — Dakota has been doing claims as long as they have been doing roofs.
Rooftop, drone, and aerial inspections, including buyer/seller storm inspections delivered as a 31-point report. If you are trying to close on a house, that is the one that saves the deal.

EPDM and TPO rubber, built-up, and rolled systems for low-slope commercial buildings, plus commercial K-style gutter.
They are general contractors, not only roofers. K-style gutter, siding, windows, wood decking, and painting — the whole exterior envelope, one contractor.
After a hail event the whole house is in play, not only the roof. Dakota manages the recovery across every trade the storm touched, HVAC included.
Roofing & claims
The roof is the easy half. The hard half is the first scope that comes back from the carrier, the supplement nobody files, and the depreciation nobody chases. Dakota does damage assessment, files and argues the claim, and manages the storm recovery across every trade the hail touched — HVAC included.
What the first check covers
~55%
Dakota's own figure: carriers typically pay about 55% of the actual damage on that first check.
The inspection is free. Booking is a request — Dakota confirms the time.
Dakota's own numbers, in their words
“1,000+ claims and $12M recovered in our first 18 months”
“95% success rate on supplements”
“More than 90% of claims are modified from the carrier's first scope”
“Carriers typically pay about 55% of the actual damage on the first check”
“Licensed, bonded, and carrying $2M+ in general liability plus workers' compensation.”

Their work
Every photograph on this site came off Dakota's own camera. No stock houses. No other company's jobs.
Old roof stripped, plywood exposed, nail plates and vent flashing in the open. This is the part of the job that decides whether the new roof lasts — and the part a homeowner never sees.

Dakota's own note on this photo: “Installed Landmark Shingles.”
Where a roof is actually judged — from the curb, by the neighbors, on a Tuesday.
In their own words
A trucker whose mortgage company sat on the funds. A seller whose inspector failed the roof. Someone with a small claim, a big deductible and nobody calling back.
Amazing roofing work, upgraded us to IR4 shingles and got our garage door replaced, almost every window replaced, new stucco on most of the house, brand new HVAC.
The roofing company responded quickly when our heater went out, got our gutters covered, and installed GAF Impact Resistant Shingles. Our insurance dropped about $200 a month.
I am a trucker and they worked around my schedule and managed my mortgage funds release from a very difficult company. They got my gutters covered and upgraded shingles.
I had recent medical issues, my storm claim was so small, and I had a huge deductible. I could not get anyone to even call me back. They helped me get my roof beautiful and they barely covered cost. I really appreciate what they did.
I had to sell my home and the inspector for my house said my roof was bad, I called several roofers and they did not help me. They got my complete roof covered and new gutters. My house sold and saved me $20k.
I was selling my home and my damage was old, they worked to get most of it covered and helped me get it sold.

Dakota Roofing & Claims
Local to Sioux Falls since the early 1990s.
Who they are
Dakota Roofing & Claims is a small, woman- and veteran-owned business — and in their own words, they served at home and during desert storm. After the next hailstorm, half the trucks on your street will have out-of-state plates and a door-knocking script. These people have been here since the early nineties.
Local to Sioux Falls
Not a storm-chasing crew with out-of-state plates. They were living here long before they were roofing here.
Into roofing
Started out working alongside a large national roofing company — which is where the claims side of the business came from.
Full general contractors
Because hail doesn't only take the roof. Gutters, siding, windows, decking, HVAC — one contractor, whole house.
Financing
A claim can move faster than a bank account. Dakota offers GreenSky financing so the roof can go on while the money sorts itself out.
Terms as GreenSky and Dakota advertise them. Approval and final terms come from the lender, not from us — and not from this website.

Dakota Roofing & Claims is a Sioux Falls general contractor built around two things at once: roofing and insurance claims. Residential laminate, designer and impact-resistant IR4, wood shake, tile and metal; commercial EPDM, TPO, built-up and rolled systems; plus gutters, siding, windows, wood decking, painting and HVAC. They are woman- and veteran-owned.
Both, and the claim is the point. Dakota handles damage assessment, files and advocates the claim, and manages the storm recovery across every trade the storm touched. Dakota states that more than 90% of claims get modified from the carrier's first scope, and that carriers typically pay only about 55% of the actual damage on that first check.
