Things To Remember About Storm Damage Insurance Claims

9/1/2021 (Permalink)

The weather can be very hard to predict, so you'll never know exactly when a storm will hit your area. Unfortunately, a storm can seriously damage your roof. Damaged roofs cause costly water leaks, so you should act quickly to repair your roof. 

   *Look for Damage as You Can Look for Damage as Soon As You Can: Even if your roof looks intact from the outside, there could be significant damage to your roofing system.  You should act quickly and  call a reputable roofer to inspect your roof if you suspect damage. 

    *Document All The Details-You will need pictures and notes of all the damage areas of your roof. In some cases, your roofing contractor will be able to assist with this task. 

    *Contact Your Insurance Company-You should contact your insurance company as quickly as possible once you have documented the damage to your roof. Some insurance companies have a time limit on how long you can file a claim. Make sure to read your insurance policy carefully so you can understand your rights and responsibilities.  

    *Choose a Contractor You Can Trust-If your roof insurance claim is approved, then you need to choose a contractor you can trust with your roof repair or replacement.
