Understanding Your Roof Insurance Claim
When storm damage strikes, navigating the insurance claim process can feel overwhelming. This comprehensive guide walks you through every step.
Step 1: Document the Damage
Immediately after discovering damage, take clear photos and videos from multiple angles. Include:
- Close-ups of damaged shingles
- Wide shots showing affected areas
- Any interior water damage
- Debris that caused the damage
Step 2: Temporary Repairs
Make only temporary repairs to prevent further damage. Keep all receipts as these costs are typically reimbursable.
Step 3: File Your Claim
Contact your insurance company promptly. Provide:
- Date of damage
- Cause of damage (wind, hail, etc.)
- Description of visible damage
- Photos and documentation
Step 4: The Adjuster's Inspection
Your insurance company will send an adjuster. We recommend having our team present during this inspection to ensure all damage is properly documented.
Step 5: Review the Settlement
Carefully review the adjuster's estimate. If you disagree with any findings, you have the right to request a reinspection or provide additional documentation.
