FAQs
Why should I schedule a professional roof inspection after a storm in Duff?
High winds, heavy rain, and hail can create damage that is not visible from the ground. A certified inspector will climb onto the roof, document all problem areas, and provide the written evidence your insurer requires. In Duff, most carriers give you a limited window—often 6–12 months—to report storm damage, so a prompt inspection protects both your roof and your policy benefits.
What is included in an insurance-covered roof inspection?
Our technician checks shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, decking, and attic insulation. We take photos, mark hail impacts, measure slopes, and generate a full condition report with repair estimates that use the same Xactimate pricing software preferred by insurance adjusters. This thorough documentation ensures the claim accurately reflects the scope of damage and the local code requirements in Duff.
How do I know if my roof damage qualifies for an insurance claim?
Most homeowner policies in Duff cover sudden, accidental damage from hail, wind, fallen trees, or fire. Wear-and-tear, improper maintenance, and age-related issues are normally excluded. After the inspection, we compare the findings to your policy language and regional wind/hail charts. If the damage matches a covered peril, we recommend filing a claim and can meet the adjuster on site to advocate for you.
Do I need to be home during the inspection or the adjuster meeting?
It’s not mandatory, but we recommend it. Being present lets you see the issues first-hand and ask questions in real time. If you can’t attend, we’ll text progress photos and a summary, then review everything with you by phone or video call. For adjuster meetings, having either you or your contractor on site helps ensure nothing is missed.
How long does the inspection, claim, and repair process usually take in Duff?
An inspection visit typically lasts 60–90 minutes, and you receive the written report within 24 hours. Insurers in Duff generally assign an adjuster within 3–7 days of filing. Claim approval can take 1–3 weeks depending on complexity and weather volume. Once approved, we order materials and schedule repairs; most residential roofs are completed in 1–2 days. From first call to finished roof, the average timeline is 3–6 weeks.
What documents should I prepare to speed up my insurance roof claim?
Have your homeowner policy number, photos of the storm or fallen debris, any previous repair invoices, and a copy of the inspection report. Gather utility bills or property tax statements if the insurer requests proof of residence. Providing this packet up front helps the adjuster verify coverage, establish the loss date, and close the claim more quickly.
