5 years Public Adjusting experience · 15 years in contracting · 9+ years running DJK.
Don Kaider spent five years as a Licensed Public Adjuster in Illinois, fifteen years in the contracting industry, and has been the owner of DJK Restoration, Inc. for nine-plus years. He has handled hundreds of insurance claims — that experience is what lets him maximize the benefit homeowners actually receive from their carrier, and make sure each home is restored to pre-storm condition.
Most roofers walk away when the carrier pushes back on a line item. Don does not — because he spent half a decade inside the adjuster's world. He knows what the carrier expects to see, what they leave off, and how to argue for it. The result, for a homeowner: more of the claim paid by the carrier, less out of pocket, and the work done correctly.
Don's greatest strength is connecting with the homeowner, diagnosing the problem — storm-related or just an aging roof — and guiding them through the process to a positive result. He answers his own phone, walks every roof, and signs every contract. He is the person you talk to from start to finish.

View all 18 cities we serveWe had a great experience with DJK Restoration! They showed up quickly, explained everything clearly, and took care of our home like it was their own. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their work. It's hard to find companies you can fully trust, but DJK definitely earned ours. Would 100% use them again and recommend them to anyone!
Don and his crew did a great job. The job was completed within the time initially mentioned and the new roof looks great. Also, I was really impressed with the cleanup. Don and his crew have done several roofs in my area and the feedback received from others sold me in selecting Don. I would not hesitate recommending Don to others.
Don owns the firm and is very active and great to communicate with about roofing. He showed up and climbed the roof with my claim adjuster, and saw the adjuster personally mark spots of hail damage. I got a generous homeowner insurance payment — Don mentioned beforehand that not everyone succeeds with that. He chose the best materials and his bid was the best among three. The finished roofing was completed on the schedule Don informed me about, and looks great.
I hired DJK to replace my house and garage roof after a terrible hail storm last Spring. I felt comfortable with Don and all his help with getting the job done. The crew he sent were all very good and hard workers. My house was definitely a challenge with it being over 100 years old and constructed with plank decking. I am very satisfied with my new roof and would recommend this professional company!
I would recommend Don and his company anytime. He handled it all, from being on site when the adjuster came to contacting our insurance company. His crew did a great job on our roof and siding and they made sure our property was all cleaned up.
Don and team did a most professional job in the actual demo and installation of the roofing components, and handled all of the administrative details with the insurance company, which was most appreciated. His personal involvement instilled a significant amount of confidence that the whole process would yield excellent results.
Meticulous attention to detail and great communication skills. Knowledgeable, and works with the insurance company directly. He took care of my home and my neighbors' as well as my commercial property, all with the same attention to detail. It's like working with an old friend you trust. I would go nowhere else!
DJK installed two of our neighbors' roofs, so when we needed a new roof on a rental house we own, we hired them. They did an excellent job, so when we had a leak on our home I immediately called the owner, Don. It was Labor Day so I wasn't expecting him to come out — but he did! He found the leak and secured a tarp over the area that day because storms were forecast. He saved us from additional damage, as we had rain for the next 5 days. Professional, communicates every step, and the clean up was amazing. We highly recommend DJK.
What an excellent experience using DJK Restoration. Don inspected our roof, registered a claim with our insurance company, and contracted a full roof replacement. He walked us through the entire process, stressing patience as he negotiated with the insurance company for us. The roof looks great with the most up to date shingles and we are very pleased we used DJK Restoration. We recommend this company.
I had my roof replaced by Don and his crew. I am very pleased — they did a great job. Responsive and quality work from start to finish.
