Who is Curt Testa?
Curt Testa is a Property Restoration Specialist with Allied Emergency Services, Inc., focused on storm-related property damage and restoration project delivery. His work centers on proper documentation, code-aware repair planning, and helping homeowners navigate the common gaps between real-world repair requirements and what an insurance estimate may initially include.
Primary service area: Illinois (Chicagoland and surrounding communities).
Also supports: Wisconsin and cross-border restoration needs where licensed/qualified.
What Curt is known for
Storm Damage Restoration
- Wind, hail, tornado, and storm-related exterior damage
- Roof, siding, windows, gutters, and building envelope restoration
- Temporary protection and emergency measures to prevent further loss
Claim Scope & Estimate Dispute Support
Insurance estimates can sometimes miss line items or under-scope repair methods. Curt’s approach is to document damage thoroughly, identify repair necessities, and support the correct scope so the property can be restored properly.
Common scope gaps Curt helps identify:
- Omitted components needed for complete system restoration
- Access/safety requirements (where applicable)
- Proper sequencing for water intrusion and interior repairs
- Code-minimum requirements and manufacturer installation standards (when relevant)
Note: Curt/Allied are restoration contractors—not your attorney and not acting as your public adjuster. If your claim is disputed or complex, you may also want to consult a licensed attorney or licensed public adjuster.
