Step-by-Step Instructions


Step 1: Professional Roof Inspection - Before filing a roof damage insurance claim, it's crucial to have a professional roofing contractor like us inspect your roof. Having a professional inspection ensures your claim is based on expert findings, increasing the likelihood of a favorable outcome. This initial assessment helps:

  • Accurately Identify Damage: Pinpoint the extent and type of damage, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
  • Document Evidence: Provide comprehensive evidence through photos and detailed notes.
  • Estimate Costs: Give a clear estimate for repair or replacement costs, aiding your discussion with the insurance company.


Step 2: Review Your Insurance Policy - Understanding your policy’s specifics is key:

  • Coverage Details: Know what types of damage are covered and any limitations that may apply.
  • Deductibles: Be aware of the deductible amount you will be responsible for.
  • Exclusions: Identify any exclusions to avoid unexpected denials during the claims process.


Step 3: Initiate the Claim - After the inspection and policy review, proceed with filing your roof insurance claim:

  • Contact Your Insurance Provider: Inform them about the damage and your intention to file a claim.
  • Submit Required Documentation: Provide all necessary documents, including inspection reports and photographs.


Step 4: Work with Your Roofing Contractor During the Adjuster’s Visit -

  • Coordinate with the Adjuster: Ensure your roofing contractor is present when the insurance adjuster assesses the damage.
  • Clarify Discrepancies: Your contractor can help address any discrepancies between their findings and the adjuster’s report.


Step 5: Finalizing the Claim -

  • Review the Settlement Offer: Carefully examine the offer from your insurer.
  • Negotiate if Necessary: If the offer doesn't match the initial repair estimates, work with your contractor to negotiate for a fair settlement.


Step 6: Approve Repairs -

  • Schedule Repairs: Once the claim is settled, schedule the repair or replacement work with your roofing contractor.
  • Ensure Quality: Choose a licensed and insured roofing company like ours to ensure quality craftsmanship and adherence to safety standards.
