FAQs
How does the roof-insurance claim process work for homeowners in Allardt?
After a damaging event (such as hail or high winds), contact your insurance carrier and our roofing team as soon as everyone is safe. We will perform a free inspection, document the damage with photos, and create a detailed report. You then open a claim with your carrier, provide our inspection report, and schedule an adjuster visit. One of our specialists can meet the adjuster on-site to ensure all damage is noted. Once the carrier issues an approval and estimate, we review it for accuracy, handle any supplements for overlooked items, and move forward with repairs or full replacement. When the work is finished, we submit a completion certificate and final invoice so the carrier can release any remaining funds owed to you.
What kinds of roof damage are typically covered by homeowners insurance?
Most standard policies that serve Allardt cover sudden and accidental damage caused by perils such as hail, straight-line winds, fallen limbs, tornadoes, and fire. They usually do NOT cover wear and tear, improper installation, or lack of maintenance. If the damage is the direct result of a covered peril—and occurred within the policy’s time limit—it is normally eligible for repair or full replacement, minus your deductible. We review your policy language with you so you understand what is and is not covered before any work begins.
How quickly should I file a claim after storm damage in Allardt?
File as soon as possible. Most carriers require that claims be reported within 6–12 months of the loss, but waiting can lead to secondary water intrusion that the insurer may later classify as “neglect.” Prompt filing also secures your place in the adjuster schedule, which can back up during peak storm season. Our team can usually inspect your roof within 24 hours of your call and help you submit the necessary documentation the same day.
Will filing a roof repair claim raise my homeowners insurance premium?
Storm-related claims are generally considered “act of God” losses, so they do not carry the same premium impact as liability or fire claims. However, some carriers track the total number of claims on a policy over a rolling period. One weather claim rarely affects rates in Allardt, but multiple claims in a short time frame might. We always encourage clients to weigh the size of the loss against their deductible and claim history before filing, and we’re happy to provide a repair estimate for comparison.
Do I have to get multiple estimates for my insurance carrier?
Most insurers in Tennessee no longer require multiple estimates. They rely on standardized pricing software (such as Xactimate) that sets fair market rates for labor and materials in Allardt. What matters most is that the scope of work is comprehensive and accurately priced. We use the same software, so our estimate lines up with the carrier’s, reducing back-and-forth and speeding up approval. If your policy or adjuster specifically asks for more than one quote, we can recommend other reputable contractors so you stay in compliance.
Can I choose my own roofing contractor, or does the insurance company assign one?
You have the legal right to select the contractor you trust. Some carriers maintain a “preferred vendor” list, but you are not obligated to use those vendors. Hiring a local, licensed, and insured roofer familiar with Allardt’s building codes ensures quality workmanship and easier communication. We coordinate directly with your carrier on documentation, code upgrades, and billing, so you retain full control while enjoying a seamless repair experience.
