Navigating a roof insurance claim on your own is genuinely confusing. We document damage, meet adjusters on-site, and help make sure repairs are properly and fairly covered.
Most insurance policies have real time limits for filing storm-damage claims — sometimes as short as a year from the date of the storm. Damage that seems minor today can also worsen with the next weather event, sometimes complicating what would have otherwise been a straightforward claim. If you suspect storm damage, the safest move is an inspection now, not "eventually."
No. You have the right to choose your own roofing contractor, regardless of who your insurance company suggests.
This happens more often than homeowners expect. Having a roofing professional present during the inspection, and reviewing the written estimate afterward, is the best way to catch a scope that doesn't match the real damage.
Yes. The inspection costs nothing regardless of what you decide to do afterward.
