About INStormNow

INStormNow operates an Indiana-focused referral directory for storm and tornado damage cleanup. We do not perform cleanup or repair work, do not employ tarping crews or roofers, and do not hold any contractor registrations. We connect Indiana homeowners and property managers with independent local contractors through a pay-per-call affiliate network for 24/7 EF1-EF4 tornado debris response, derecho damage, hail roofing, emergency tarping, tree removal, and water mitigation.

How we make money

When a call results in a booked job, the provider's network pays INStormNow a referral fee. You pay the contractor directly. The fee does not increase your quoted price.

How Indiana contractor licensing works

Indiana does not issue a statewide general contractor license. Storm-damage and roofing contractors operating in Indiana must instead register at the county or city level in many municipalities — Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville among others maintain local contractor registration requirements administered by their building or construction-services departments. Indiana also does not require a statewide roofing license, but most insurance carriers require HAAG-certified inspectors for hail-claim documentation and IICRC-certified technicians (S500 standard) for water-mitigation work that qualifies under a homeowners policy. Our network partners are vetted for applicable local registration where required, general liability insurance ($1M+) and workers' compensation, and HAAG or IICRC certification on the personnel doing storm-damage assessment. Always verify a contractor's local registration with your city or county building department and ask for their certificate of insurance before signing anything.
