Your Roofing Advocate, Not Just Your Contractor
At Top Most Roofing, we don't just fix roofs—we fight for homeowners.
What sets us apart in Highland, Edwardsville, and the Metro East? Our owner, Brian Pokojski, spent 15 years as an insurance adjuster before ever picking up a hammer. That means we know exactly what insurance adjusters look for, how to document storm damage properly, and how to maximize your claim approval chances.
We've seen too many homeowners get denied for legitimate claims simply because the damage wasn't documented correctly. We've watched families struggle to navigate the insurance process alone. That's why Top Most Roofing exists—to level the playing field.
Whether you're dealing with storm damage, need a complete roof replacement, or just want an honest assessment, you're getting more than a roofing contractor. You're getting an advocate who understands both sides of the insurance equation.

Meet Brian Pokojski - Former Insurance Adjuster Turned Roofing Expert
The Journey from Adjuster to Advocate
For 15 years, Brian Pokojski worked as an insurance adjuster, evaluating thousands of roofing claims across Illinois. He saw the industry from the inside—and he didn't always like what he saw.
"I watched good, honest homeowners get their claims denied because they didn't know how to document damage properly," Brian explains. "I saw contractors who either didn't understand the insurance process or didn't care enough to help their customers navigate it. I knew there had to be a better way."
That realization led Brian to transition from adjusting claims to actually solving roofing problems. He founded Top Most Roofing with a simple mission: combine expert craftsmanship with insider insurance knowledge to truly serve homeowners in the Metro East.

What Sets Us Apart
Why Top Most Roofing Stands Apart
Insurance Adjuster Expertise You Won't Find Anywhere Else
Here's the truth: most roofing contractors don't understand insurance claims. They might know how to install a roof, but they don't know how to get your claim approved.
At Top Most Roofing, we're different.
Brian's 15 years as an insurance adjuster gives you a massive advantage:
- We know where adjusters look first - Certain types of damage matter more than others in the approval process
- We understand claim triggers - What documentation pushes a claim from "under review" to "approved"
- We speak their language - Technical terms, proper terminology, industry standards
- We avoid common denial reasons - Poor documentation, missed damage, incorrect estimates
The result? Our customers get their insurance claims approved more often, for appropriate amounts, with less hassle.
If your insurance company won't cover something right now, we won't pressure you to move forward anyway. Instead, we'll guide you patiently, explain your options, and help you understand what might trigger coverage in the future. Your financial well-being comes first—always.
Family-Owned & Operated with Small-Town Values
Top Most Roofing is a family-owned business, and that's not just a tagline—it shapes everything we do.
When you call us, you're not reaching a call center. You're talking to people who live and work in your community. People who shop at the same stores, attend the same events, and care about the same neighborhoods you do.
Our family values translate into how we treat you:
- No high-pressure sales tactics - We educate, not manipulate
- Honest assessments - If your roof can be repaired instead of replaced, we'll tell you
- Transparent pricing - No hidden fees, no surprise charges
- Long-term relationships - We want to be your roofer for life, not just one job
We're not chasing the next big contract in another state. We're building a legacy right here in Highland and the Metro East. That means every roof we install, every repair we complete, and every customer we serve reflects on our family name and our community reputation.
