Roofing Wind & Hail Restoration
Severe storms can leave you damaged, disappointed, and feeling vulnerable. High winds, hail, and heavy rains can be downright scary but for many local residents, the aftermath is what really stings. Having to deal with insurance companies or ‘storm chasing’ contractors can often times be worse than anything Mother Nature had to offer.
The thing is, insurance restoration after a storm is mandatory. When your roof especially is suffering from missing or damaged materials, it can lead to water exposure that infiltrates the entire home. Soon your roof repairs turn into insulation, drywall, and carpet replacement as well. This holds true for siding, gutters, and other exterior restoration projects as well – they were able to bear the brunt of the first storm, but find themselves exposed after the fact.

Insurance Claim Tips
Review your insurance policy so that you understand it. Is your homes roof damage actually covered, or did you choose to exclude wind and hail damage in your policy and is your coverage for replacement cost or actual cash value
Inspect your entire home, not just the roof if you suspect there is roof damage from a storm. You need to know the extent of the damage when you start a claim.
Your estimate must be based on what you had and not how you want it. Get a written estimate on a roofing company’s letterhead with the company’s contact information and don’t rely on the adjuster to determine the cost.
Be quick about getting your estimate as the longer a roof sits with damage, the more weather and dirt makes it less obvious what the damage is since it looks like wear and tear.
Keep a journal of all correspondence. A seemingly simple claim could blow up into a nightmare, so good record keeping from the start will help insure your claim is not denied. Keep track of who you spoke to, times and dates and storm damage photos and videos are a great idea.
Insurance companies do not have your best interest in mind, as they are also a business. Make sure you have a solid repair estimate because you’re entitled to fair trade pricing and consider hiring a public adjuster to work on your behalf, especially if your claim is large or complicated.
Multiple estimates are not necessarily a good idea as your insurance company will choose the lowest bid which may not be the best quality.
In the aftermath of large storms, watch out for roof repair scams. If your roof is damaged, you should make the call for an estimate.
Not all states require a roofing license, so check the roofing companies licensing. It’s best to work with a licensed contractor so you know they meet proper professional standards.
