FAQs
How do I know if my storm-damaged roof in Cookeville qualifies for an insurance claim?
Start by calling a licensed local roofer for a free inspection. We look for hail bruising, missing shingles, lifted flashing, and water intrusion—all common after Cookeville’s spring storms. If damage is consistent with a recent weather event and exceeds your deductible, it typically qualifies. We document photos, measurements, and a written report you can submit to your carrier.
What is the step-by-step process for filing a roof insurance claim with your company?
1) Schedule a no-cost inspection. 2) If damage is found, we help you call the claim into your insurer while on-site. 3) Your insurance adjuster sets an appointment; we meet them to ensure all damage is noted. 4) Once the claim is approved, you receive a scope of loss. 5) We review the scope, choose shingles that meet Cookeville’s building codes, and sign a work agreement. 6) We install the new roof, submit a completion packet, and the insurer releases the final payment.
Will my insurance premium increase if I replace my roof after a storm?
In most cases, no. Tennessee law treats wind and hail as “Acts of God,” meaning carriers cannot raise your rates individually for a catastrophic claim. Your premium can change with area-wide rate adjustments, but a single weather-related roof claim in Cookeville generally will not trigger a surcharge.
How long does the entire roof replacement claim process take in Putnam County?
Timelines vary by insurer, but typical milestones are: inspection and claim filing (1–3 days), adjuster meeting (5–10 days), claim approval (3–7 days after meeting), roof install (1–2 days for an average 30-square home), and final payment release (7–14 days after completion). From first call to final check, most Cookeville homeowners are finished within 3–4 weeks.
What out-of-pocket costs should I expect when using insurance for a new roof?
Your only mandatory cost is your deductible, usually $500–$2,000. Tennessee law forbids contractors from rebating or “eating” the deductible. Upgrades you choose beyond the carrier’s scope—such as premium metal valleys, designer shingles, or added ventilation—are optional and priced separately.
