Let’s Help With Your Storm Damage Claim

Navigating the storm damage insurance claims process can be overwhelming, especially if it is your first time filing one. You should be time conscious when calling your insurance company because some providers set a deadline for when you can submit a claim. Moreover, it would always be helpful to get an inspection from roofing professionals to get an idea about the condition of your roof. 

As a leading roofing and seamless gutter installation company, here’s what we can do to help with your storm damage claim. 

Assessing the Damage

When it’s safe to go out, and the storm has passed, contact a local roofer for an inspection. Most times, insurance providers send their adjuster to check how severe the damage is. However, hiring a roofing contractor can help you make sure that you’re getting a fair assessment of your claim. 

Documentation

While waiting for your roofer, you can take photos of ant visible roof damage from the ground. However, you should not climb up the roof yourself because it is extremely dangerous for someone who has no training, especially following a weather event. Fortunately, many kinds of storm-related issues can be seen from the ground. You can use these pictures to support your storm damage insurance claim. 

Addressing the Damage

After the inspection, your roofer may recommend whether the system needs repair or replacement. In some cases, immediate roofing repairs are necessary to prevent further damage. Most times, insurance providers cover the cost of these repairs.
When hiring a roofer for your storm damage repairs, make sure to do your research and read reviews. It would help to check your prospective contractor’s status with the Better Business Bureau. Also, choose roofers who are from your area.
