FAQs
How do I know if my storm-damaged roof in Morristown qualifies for an insurance claim?
If your roof shows signs such as missing shingles, lifted flashing, dents from hail, or leaks that occurred immediately after a recent storm, it may qualify. Our team provides a free inspection, documents all damage with photos and written notes, and compares it to the storm date to help verify eligibility under your policy’s wind or hail provisions.
What paperwork will my insurance company require for a roof replacement claim?
Typical documentation includes a detailed inspection report, photos of the damage, the date and type of storm event, a written estimate for repairs or replacement, and a copy of your roofing contractor’s license and insurance. We supply all of these items in an organized packet and can upload them directly to most carriers’ claim portals.
Will your company meet with my insurance adjuster at my Morristown home?
Yes. We coordinate directly with the adjuster, meet them on-site, point out all storm-related damages, and discuss local building code requirements. This helps ensure nothing is overlooked and that the adjuster’s report accurately reflects the scope of work and current material prices in the Morristown area.
How long does the insurance approval process usually take?
Most claims are approved within 1–2 weeks after the adjuster visit, but timelines vary by carrier and claim volume after major storms. We stay in contact with the desk adjuster, provide any additional documents immediately, and keep you updated so your project can move forward as soon as funds are released.
Do I have to pay my deductible before the roof work begins?
Yes. Tennessee insurance regulations require homeowners to pay their policy’s deductible. After the claim is approved, you’ll receive the initial ACV (actual cash value) check. We collect your deductible and that first insurance payment when materials are delivered, then bill the carrier for any remaining recoverable depreciation after final inspection.
What happens if my insurance company denies or partially pays the claim?
A denial or underpayment isn’t always final. We can request a re-inspection, submit supplemental documentation, and reference Morristown code upgrades or current material pricing differences. Many claims are adjusted upward on review. If the insurer still denies coverage, we’ll provide a competitive out-of-pocket quote and discuss financing options so your home stays protected.
