FAQs
What types of storm damage are typically covered by homeowners’ insurance for roofs and siding in Flintville?
Most standard homeowners’ policies in Tennessee cover sudden, accidental damage from wind, hail, falling trees or limbs, and heavy snow or ice. Coverage usually excludes normal wear-and-tear, improper maintenance, and gradual deterioration. If a recent storm in Flintville caused missing shingles, dented siding, or leaks, you likely have a valid claim.
How soon after a storm should I file an insurance claim for roof or siding damage?
File as quickly as possible—ideally within 30–60 days of the event. Prompt filing helps you meet policy deadlines, preserve evidence, and avoid disputes over whether subsequent weather worsened the damage. Our team can perform a free inspection within 24 hours and help you document everything before contacting your carrier.
What documentation will the insurance company need for my roofing or siding claim?
You’ll need a detailed inspection report, photos or videos of all damage, a written estimate from a licensed Flintville contractor, and a copy of the storm event (weather reports or news articles). Keep receipts for temporary repairs like tarping, plus any correspondence with your insurer. We compile, label, and submit this packet for you to streamline approval.
Will my premiums increase if I file a storm-related roofing or siding claim?
Insurers base premium adjustments on overall regional risk rather than a single weather claim. A first-time, act-of-God claim rarely spikes rates in Tennessee. However, multiple claims in a short period or prior undisclosed damage could impact costs. We can review your policy and discuss the likelihood of changes before you decide to file.
Can I choose my own contractor, or do I have to use one recommended by the insurance company?
You always have the right to select your preferred, licensed contractor. While carriers may suggest “preferred vendors,” you’re not obligated to use them. Choosing a local Flintville specialist like us ensures quality materials, manufacturer-backed warranties, and an advocate who represents your interests—not the insurer’s bottom line.
What happens if the insurance adjuster’s estimate is lower than my contractor’s?
Discrepancies are common. We compare line items, supply additional photos, and negotiate directly with the adjuster using industry-standard Xactimate software. If needed, we request a re-inspection or invoke your policy’s appraisal clause. Over 80 % of our Flintville clients receive supplemental payments that fully cover approved repair or replacement costs.
