FAQs
How can I tell if my roof suffered storm damage after a hail or wind event in Cowan?
Look for obvious signs such as missing or lifted shingles, dents in metal flashing, cracked or bruised shingles, torn roof vents, and shingle granules collecting in downspouts or gutters. Inside, check your attic ceiling for water stains or daylight showing through decking. Because some damage is subtle, Insurance Maze Roofing offers free post-storm inspections with photo documentation so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before filing a claim.
What should I do immediately after I notice storm damage to my roof?
1) Stay safe—avoid climbing onto a wet or unstable roof. 2) Take clear photos or video of visible damage from the ground. 3) Prevent further interior damage by placing buckets under leaks and covering valuables. 4) Call Insurance Maze Roofing; our crew can install emergency tarps to stop active leaks and provide a written inspection report. 5) Contact your insurance carrier to open a claim, using our documentation to support your case. Acting quickly helps you meet most insurers’ reporting deadlines and minimizes out-of-pocket repairs.
How does the insurance claim process work for storm-damaged roofing in Cowan?
After you call your carrier, they assign a claim number and schedule an adjuster visit. We meet the adjuster on-site to point out damage, building code requirements, and local wind-speed ratings. The adjuster prepares a report (called a scope of loss). If the scope is incomplete, we help you request supplements. When the claim is approved, your insurer issues the first check (minus deductible). We then complete the roof restoration, send your carrier final documentation, and you receive any remaining depreciation funds. Throughout the process we track paperwork and keep you informed so you avoid the traditional insurance maze.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the full cost of a roof replacement?
Coverage depends on your policy type and deductible. Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies pay the full current cost of a comparable roof, minus your deductible. Actual Cash Value (ACV) policies subtract depreciation, so you pay more out of pocket. Code-upgrade endorsements may be needed to cover items such as ice-water shield or ridge ventilation now required by Cowan’s building codes. Insurance Maze Roofing reviews your policy with you, explains any coverage gaps, and pursues eligible supplements so you maximize the benefits you’ve already paid for.
How long does storm damage roof restoration take from start to finish?
Timeline averages: • Inspection & documentation: 24-48 hours after your call. • Claim approval: 5-14 days, depending on your insurer’s workload. • Material ordering & scheduling: 2-5 days once funds are released. • Roof replacement: 1-2 days for most Cowan homes, longer for large or specialty roofs. • Final inspection & cleanup: same day as installation. Weather delays or special order materials can add time, but most customers in Cowan see the entire process completed within 2–3 weeks.
