- How do I know if my roof has hail damage?
- Hail damage often looks like bruises or dents on the shingles where the granules are knocked loose, and it is not always visible from the ground. You might also see dents on gutters, vents, or metal flashing. The safest way to know is a professional inspection, which we provide for free.
- What does wind do to a roof?
- High wind can lift and crease shingles, tear them off entirely, and drive rain under the roofing where it causes leaks. Damage often starts at the edges and ridges where wind pressure is highest. Even shingles that are not missing can be loosened enough to fail later.
- Should I file an insurance claim for roof damage?
- It depends on the extent of the damage and your deductible. If storm damage is significant and clearly exceeds your deductible, a claim usually makes sense. We inspect first and document what we find so you can make an informed decision before you call your insurer.
- How does the roof insurance claim process work?
- Typically you report the damage to your insurer, they assign an adjuster to inspect the roof, and the insurer issues a decision based on the adjuster's findings. Approved claims are paid according to your policy, often minus your deductible. We can document the damage and be present to walk the adjuster through it.
- Is there a deadline to file a storm damage claim?
- Most policies require you to report damage within a set window after the storm, and that window varies by insurer and policy. Waiting too long can lead to a denial because the insurer cannot tie the damage to a covered event. Report and inspect promptly to protect your options.
- What is a roof deductible and how does it work?
- Your deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance covers the rest of an approved claim. On roofing claims it is often a set dollar amount or a percentage of your home's insured value. The insurer subtracts the deductible from what they pay, so you should know your number before filing.
- Should I be present when the insurance adjuster inspects?
- It helps to have your contractor present when the adjuster inspects. We can point out storm damage the adjuster might otherwise miss and make sure the assessment reflects the full scope. Clear documentation reduces back and forth later.
- What if my insurance claim is denied?
- A denial is not always the end. You can request a re inspection, provide additional documentation, or ask your insurer to review the decision. Detailed photos and notes from an independent inspection strengthen your case.
- Can you help me deal with my insurance company?
- We document the damage with a written summary and photos, and we can meet the adjuster on site to walk through the findings. We are a roofing contractor, not your insurer, so the claim decision rests with your insurance company. Our role is to make sure the damage is clearly recorded and the repair is done right.
- How soon should I get my roof inspected after a storm?
- As soon as it is safe, ideally within days of the storm. Prompt inspection documents the damage while it is fresh and keeps you inside any claim deadlines. Our storm inspections are free, so there is no cost to find out where you stand.
