FAQs
How do I know if my roof damage in Monteagle qualifies for an insurance claim?
After severe weather—such as hail, high winds, or heavy rain—look for missing shingles, dented metal, granule loss, leaks, or water stains inside the home. Because some damage can be hard to see from the ground, the safest way to know if you qualify is to schedule a professional inspection. Our certified inspectors document storm-related damage with photos and measurements that align with the requirements of most major insurance carriers. If the damage is sudden and caused by a covered peril, you’ll likely qualify for a claim.
What happens during a professional roof inspection for insurance purposes?
We begin with a free on-site assessment, checking shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, and the attic for hidden moisture. Using drones and moisture meters when needed, we create a detailed damage report, complete with high-resolution photos, slope diagrams, and repair estimates. This report is formatted specifically for insurance adjusters, making it easier for them to verify the findings and approve the claim.
How soon after a storm should I schedule a roof inspection in Monteagle?
Call us as soon as it’s safe—ideally within 72 hours of the event. Most policies require prompt reporting, and early documentation prevents disputes over whether damage was pre-existing. Quick inspections also help you avoid secondary issues such as mold, interior leaks, or structural deterioration that might not be covered if you delay.
Will filing a roof damage claim increase my insurance premiums?
In Tennessee, claims caused by Acts of God—like hail or wind—typically do not raise premiums for individual policyholders. However, widespread storm events can lead to regional premium adjustments over time. Your personal rate impact depends on your insurer’s guidelines, claim history, and policy type. We can review your policy and help you understand any potential cost implications before you file.
How do you work with my insurance company throughout the claims process?
Once you authorize us, we can meet the adjuster on-site to point out damage, provide our inspection report, and discuss code requirements for Monteagle and Grundy County. We handle supplemental documentation, negotiate for fair market pricing, and keep you informed at every step. Our goal is to streamline communication so you receive an accurate settlement and high-quality repairs without added stress.
Do I need to be present during the roof inspection and insurance adjuster visit?
Your presence is helpful but not mandatory. For the initial inspection, homeowners often prefer to be there to discuss findings in real time. For the adjuster meeting, we can represent you if you have scheduling conflicts, provided we have your written permission. We’ll share photos, explain the damage, and review the adjuster’s scope with you afterward, ensuring transparency and confidence in the final claim outcome.
