FAQs
What types of roof damage are usually covered by homeowners insurance in Huntland?
Most Huntland policies pay for sudden, accidental damage caused by wind, hail, fallen trees, lightning, or other named perils. Normal wear-and-tear, lack of maintenance, or gradual leaks are generally excluded. Our inspectors document whether the damage came from a covered storm event so you have the evidence your carrier needs.
How do I know if my roof damage qualifies for an insurance claim?
Start with a no-cost inspection from our Haag-certified team. We look for hail impact marks, lifted or creased shingles from high winds, punctures from debris, and water intrusion in the decking or attic. If the findings match the date of a recent storm tracked by NOAA for the Huntland area, we recommend filing a claim and supply you with a detailed report and photos.
What is the step-by-step process your company follows to assist with my claim?
1) Inspection & documentation—We photograph and measure all damage. 2) Claim filing—We help you call your carrier and reference the loss date. 3) Adjuster meeting—Our project manager meets the adjuster on-site to ensure no damage is overlooked. 4) Estimate review—We compare the insurer’s estimate to local code requirements and pricing. 5) Supplement submission—If anything was missed, we submit supplements with supporting evidence. 6) Roof repair or replacement—Once approved, we schedule the work, bill your carrier directly, and give you all completion photos for your records.
How long do I have to file a roof damage claim in Tennessee?
Most carriers give you 1 year from the date of loss, but some policies allow only 180 days. Because storms can strike Huntland in any season, we recommend scheduling an inspection within a week of noticing damage so you do not miss any filing deadlines.
Will filing a roof claim raise my insurance premiums?
Claims caused by natural events—wind, hail, or lightning—are usually classified as ‘Act of God’ losses. Tennessee carriers typically cannot surcharge you the same way they would for at-fault claims like water backup. However, multiple claims in a short period can still affect renewal pricing. We help you decide whether the repair cost exceeds your deductible enough to justify a claim.
Do I have to pay anything out of pocket when using insurance for a roof replacement?
You are responsible only for your deductible and for any elective upgrades, such as architectural shingles or added ventilation. We apply any recoverable depreciation directly from your carrier to keep your up-front cost low, and we never ask for final payment until the roof passes our quality checklist and any municipal inspection in Huntland.
