Storm Damage Insurance

Are Roofing Contractors Really Necessary for Insurance Claims?

Your insurance adjuster can assess damage and determine how much compensation you’ll receive. Remember, though, that they are on the insurance provider’s side. Your roofing contractor will do a thorough assessment and ensure that all relevant points are covered for your benefit.

Should I Still File a Claim Even If I Don’t See Any Damage?

It’s true that sometimes a storm can leave your roof unharmed. However, damage can be hard to spot especially if you don’t know how and where to look. This is why it’s important to have your roof inspected to determine if there’s damage and if you need to file a claim.

How Long After a Storm Can I File My Claim?

The time you have to file after a storm depends on your insurance policy. In most cases, you can file a claim up to a year from the time of the storm. We recommend, however, contacting a contractor immediately, not only to help you with the claim, but also to have any potential damage addressed promptly.

Can a Storm Raise My Premiums?

In many policies, “acts of God” like storms do not necessarily raise premiums. This can vary from one company to another, however, so it’s best to consult your provider to discuss coverage and premiums.
