FAQs
What does an insurance–adjuster roofing inspection involve?
Our licensed adjuster-trained specialists perform a thorough exterior and attic inspection, document storm, wind, and hail damage with photographs, measure the roof, and create a detailed damage report that meets insurance carrier guidelines. This process ensures that nothing is overlooked and gives your insurer the evidence they need to approve a fair settlement for your Rutledge property.
How do you help Rutledge homeowners file a roof damage insurance claim?
We guide you through every step: (1) pre-inspection to confirm damage, (2) claim filing assistance with the correct loss date and policy details, (3) on-site representation when the insurance adjuster arrives, and (4) submission of supplemental documents or estimates if the initial offer is short. Our goal is to maximize your claim while keeping the paperwork and phone calls off your plate.
Can you work directly with my insurance company after the claim is filed?
Yes. With your written authorization, we communicate directly with the carrier’s adjusters and desk reviewers. We negotiate scope, pricing, and code-required upgrades using Xactimate—the estimating software most insurers prefer—so you receive the full funds necessary for a code-compliant roof repair or replacement in Rutledge.
What kinds of roof damage are usually covered by homeowners insurance?
Policies typically cover sudden and accidental events such as hail strikes, high winds that lift or tear shingles, fallen trees or limbs, tornado debris impacts, and ice dam water intrusion. Wear and tear, improper maintenance, and age-related deterioration are excluded, but we document the difference so your legitimate storm damage is clearly separated from pre-existing issues.
How soon can my roof be repaired once the claim is approved?
After the insurer issues the first check (Actual Cash Value), we schedule materials and crews—often within 1-2 weeks for standard asphalt shingles and 2-3 weeks for specialty products. Emergency tarping or temporary patching is available within 24 hours to stop active leaks while you wait for full repairs in Rutledge.
Will filing a roof claim raise my insurance premiums?
In Georgia, rate changes are generally based on the overall claims history of your region rather than a single weather-related loss. Because storms are considered ‘acts of nature,’ most carriers do not surcharge individual policyholders for one legitimate roof claim. Always confirm with your agent, but in Rutledge, homeowners rarely see a premium spike solely because they repaired storm damage through insurance.
