Filing a roof insurance claim is a difficult and time-consuming task. After a catastrophic weather occurrence, dealing with your insurance company is the last thing you want to do. This is where your roof repair specialist can help.
A good roofing contractor can help you maximize your insurance claim. Here's how.
- Get an Expert Opinion
A reputable roofing contractor can identify and repair roof damage. After a big storm, obtain a professional inspection. Expert roofers will inspect your roof and report back to the adjuster. So, the adjuster knows what work your roof needs and can offer you a better settlement.
- Accurate Insurance Claim Paperwork
Many homeowners labor alone on their first claim paperwork, only to have it rejected due to a tiny oversight. Roofers can help you double-check your papers or even fill them out for you.
- Know if Your Claim Is Worth Filing
In some situations, filing an insurance claim may be futile. Knowing the cost of repairing or replacing your roof will help you decide whether or not to file a claim. Remember that filing a false claim might raise your insurance rates, increasing your overall costs.
- Detailed Documentation
Documentation is vital to getting your insurance claim paid out right away. Your roofer can supply you with a full damage report, including images. This packet is sometimes enough for insurers to approve a claim. Insurers might renounce their right to have an adjuster physically inspect the damage, saving you up to a week.
