Here are the steps we take to help you navigate the process of inspecting and repairing a roof damaged by a storm, including dealing with insurance claims:
1. Inspection for Storm Damage
- Conduct a thorough inspection of the roof to identify and document all damage caused by the storm. - Take detailed photographs and notes of any visible damage, including missing shingles, dents, leaks, or other issues.
2. Filing an Insurance Claim
- Assist the homeowner in contacting their insurance company to report the storm damage and start the claims process. - Provide the necessary documentation and photos to support the claim.
3. Adjuster Meeting
- Schedule a meeting with the insurance adjuster to inspect the roof together. - Be present during the adjuster’s inspection to point out all documented damages and ensure nothing is overlooked.
4. Receiving Loss Summary and First Check
- Review the loss summary provided by the insurance company, detailing the estimated cost of repairs or replacement. - Ensure the homeowner receives the first check from the insurance company, which is typically a portion of the total estimated cost.
5. Completing Roof Replacement
- Schedule and complete the roof replacement using high-quality materials and skilled labor. - Ensure all work is performed to the highest standards and within any relevant local building codes.
6. Receiving Final Check from Insurance
- Submit the final invoice and any required documentation to the insurance company. - Ensure the homeowner receives the final check from the insurance company, covering the remaining balance of the repair or replacement costs.
7. Final Walkthrough to Ensure Satisfaction
- Conduct a final walkthrough with the homeowner to inspect the completed work. - Address any questions or concerns and ensure the homeowner is fully satisfied with the new roof.
