Roofing Insurance Claims Made Easy

Roofing insurance claims are easy once you understand how they work.

In general…

The average homeowner will typically deal with at least one roofing claim in their lifetime. Most of these claims are legitimate and relatively easy to resolve.

However, it’s not uncommon for homeowners to pay more than expected when dealing with a roofing claim.

We have all heard horror stories about people getting ripped off with their home roof insurance.

Being that…

Many homeowners have no idea how to deal with roof insurance claims or working with roofing contractors.

We’ll cover how to deal with a roofing claim so you can avoid the hassle and stress of coming up short with your insurance check.

There are two types of roof inspections required With Your Claim

They are…

1) A licensed roofing contractor will get you a written inspection complete with replacement or repair costs for the roof.

Next…

2) Your insurance adjuster will provide their inspection for the insurance company.

Our intention is that your roof gets repaired or replaced correctly at the best price.

Before You File Your Roofing Insurance Claims…

The first thing to remember…

Call your roofing contractor first to get a list of the damages and repairs.

You’ll get a written estimate from your roofer to know if it’s worth filing a claim.

You’ll want to file a claim if your damages are extensive.

Next, call the insurance company.

The insurance company will send out a representative to your home, and assess the damage. After the insurance adjuster finishes the report they’ll report to you and the company.

After you have the estimate from the adjuster, you’ll want to compare the estimate with the estimate from your roofing contractor.

If the estimates are different, you’ll want to get with your roofer and go over both estimates in detail to see why there’s a difference.

First thing to remember…

As your roofing contractor, we’ll ensure that the insurance company has all the information to provide you with a properly repaired or replaced roof.

If You Have Extensive Hail or Wind Damage…

If you can’t stay in your home, your insurance policy may include compensation for a hotel stay while the roof gets repaired.

You’ll want to discuss this with your homeowner’s insurance agent, as all policies offer different options.

You may qualify for a roof replacement benefit if you have extensive damage.

This damage could mean replacing your entire roof with a new one.

Most important…

Next, we recommend documenting your conversation with your insurance representative immediately after the damage.

When it’s safe, take as many pictures of the damage as possible.

Also, take photos of the inside of the house where you see signs of water leaks.

Your pictures will be a valuable part of your documentation.

Call your insurance company that holds your homeowner’s policy.

You may have an agent or a claims department. Describe what happened to cause damage to your roof.

Give the date and time the damage occurred.

Tell the person where you can see the damage. For example, explain to the agent if you notice wet, streaking spots coming in from the upstairs bathroom.

Next, the insurance company will likely schedule an insurance adjuster to evaluate the damages. Be sure to set the appointment when you are available and be at home during the inspection.

Above all…

If you have serious damage. It’s a good idea to call a roofer as soon as the damage occurs so they can cover it up with tarps, and it doesn’t worsen.
