FAQs
How do I know if my roof has storm damage that qualifies for an insurance claim?
Signs of covered storm damage can be subtle, so we recommend a professional inspection after any severe weather. Common indicators include missing or creased shingles, lifted flashing, dented metal components, granule loss that exposes shingle mats, water stains in the attic, and displaced ridge caps. Our Haag-certified inspectors document each issue with photos, measurements, and material samples so you have the factual evidence your insurer requires.
What does your insurance-ready roof inspection report include for Bean Station homeowners?
Our report is formatted to meet the documentation standards of all major carriers. It contains: (1) a written summary of storm conditions on the date of loss, as verified by NOAA data; (2) a roof diagram with slope, pitch, and square footage calculations; (3) high-resolution photos of every damaged area, labeled by slope and elevation; (4) test‐square results showing the percentage of affected shingles; (5) a repair vs. replacement cost breakdown using Xactimate pricing; and (6) recommended next steps. This comprehensive package speeds up claims approval and minimizes adjuster disputes.
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roofing inspection in Bean Station?
The sooner, the better. Most insurance policies require you to report storm damage within a specific time frame—often 30–60 days. Prompt inspection prevents further deterioration, preserves evidence before it weathers away, and helps you meet policy deadlines. We offer emergency tarping within 24 hours to stop active leaks while your claim is processed.
Will your team meet with my insurance adjuster during the claim process?
Yes. Once you authorize us, we will coordinate directly with your adjuster, walk the roof together, and explain our findings. Having a qualified contractor on-site ensures all damage is noted and that code-required items (such as drip-edge and ventilation upgrades) are included in the scope of loss. This collaborative approach typically results in faster, more accurate settlements.
Can you handle the paperwork and billing with my insurance company?
Absolutely. We assist with filing the initial claim, uploading supplemental documentation, and answering carrier questions. After approval, we perform the work for the approved amount, bill the insurer directly for covered items, and only collect your deductible from you. This turnkey process removes administrative stress and keeps your out-of-pocket costs predictable.
What if my insurance claim is denied or only partially approved?
If a claim is denied or underpaid, you still have options. We can request a reinspection, provide additional photographic or meteorological evidence, and, if needed, connect you with a public adjuster or appraisal service for a second opinion. Because our reports are thorough and compliant with policy language, many denials are reversed or supplements are issued once the carrier reviews the additional data.
