FAQs
How do I know if my roof in Powell has storm damage that qualifies for an insurance claim?
After a wind or hail event, look for missing or lifted shingles, granule loss that exposes the shingle mat, dents in metal flashing or gutters, leaks in the attic, or wet insulation. Because some damage is hard to spot from the ground, our certified inspectors offer a free post-storm assessment. We document all damage with photos and a written report that meets insurance carrier guidelines, so you’ll know whether filing a claim is warranted.
What is the step-by-step process for navigating an insurance claim for roof storm damage?
1) Inspection – We perform a no-cost inspection and create a detailed damage report. 2) Claim Filing – If damage exceeds your deductible, you contact your insurer to open a claim; we can be present during the call to ensure correct terminology. 3) Adjuster Meeting – We meet the insurance adjuster on site, point out all damage, and provide supporting documentation. 4) Approval & Scope – Once approved, we review the carrier’s scope to confirm all required repairs are included and negotiate supplements if anything is missing. 5) Restoration – Our Powell roofing crew completes the work to manufacturer specs, usually within one or two days. 6) Final Documentation – We submit completion photos and invoices to the carrier, and you receive the final payment minus your deductible.
Will my premiums increase if I file a storm damage roof claim?
In most cases, wind or hail claims are considered “Act of God” losses and do not single you out for a premium hike. Insurers typically base rate changes on the overall storm patterns in Powell and surrounding Franklin and Delaware counties, not on individual claims. You are already paying for this coverage, so using it when you suffer covered damage generally makes financial sense.
How long do I have to file a storm damage claim on my roof in Ohio?
Most homeowner policies allow 6–12 months from the date of loss, but some carriers require you to give “prompt notice,” which can be interpreted as 30–60 days. Because delaying can jeopardize coverage, we recommend scheduling an inspection within a week or two of the storm. If hidden damage surfaces later, we can reference the initial inspection date to help keep the claim viable.
What if the insurance payout is not enough to cover the full roof replacement cost?
We carefully compare the carrier’s estimate with current Powell market pricing and International Residential Code requirements. If line items are missing—such as ice-and-water shield, ventilation, or drip edge—we submit a supplemental request with photos, code citations, and material invoices. Over 80% of our clients receive additional funds through this process, ensuring the project is fully funded except for the deductible.
How quickly can you replace my storm-damaged roof once insurance approves the claim?
Material delivery is usually scheduled within 3–5 business days after carrier approval. A typical single-family roof in Powell takes 1 day to tear off and replace, though complex roofs may require 2 days. We coordinate directly with your adjuster and city inspectors to streamline permits and code compliance, so you get a watertight, manufacturer-warranted roof with minimal disruption.
