After a serious storm, you should make it a habit to have a professional check if you need a roof repair. If roofing issues are present, make sure to address them immediately. Moreover, you may need to file an insurance claim for your storm damage repair or restoration, and a reputable contractor can help make the process easier for you.
Filing an insurance claim can be confusing and overwhelming, especially if you’re doing it for the first time. Fortunately, with the help of a good roofer, you’ll know who to contact and whether your claim is even worth filing at all. A reliable contractor will go to your home, check the damage, and work with your insurer to ensure that your claim covers the issue.
Insurance adjusters are not experts in roof repairs and replacement, meaning their assessments are not as reliable as the ones you can get from a roofing professional. An experienced contractor will check your roof thoroughly, analyze the issue and show their findings to the adjuster. This way, your insurance provider will know what kind of work your roof needs and may offer a more reasonable settlement.
Getting a roof inspection before filing a claim can help you ensure that it was indeed the storm that caused the damage and it wasn’t a result of a problem that already exists. For instance, if the issue occurred due to lack of maintenance, there’s a high chance that your insurance provider will refuse your claim. Working with a roofer will help you minimize confusion and also help you get a better claim settlement.
