FAQs

How do you work with insurance adjusters after a storm in Washburn?

Once you contact us, we schedule a free on-site inspection to document wind, hail, or ice damage with photos and a written report. With your permission, we then meet the insurance adjuster at your property, walk the roof together, and compare findings. Our Haag-certified inspector explains local code requirements and current material costs to be sure the adjuster’s estimate is accurate. After the claim is approved, we review the insurer’s scope of work line-by-line, negotiate supplements if anything was missed, and handle all repair documentation so you receive the full funds you’re entitled to under your policy.

What steps should I take immediately after noticing storm damage to my roof?

1) Put safety first—stay off the roof and watch for downed power lines. 2) Photograph visible damage from the ground or inside the attic. 3) Call your insurance carrier to open a claim and receive a claim number. 4) Contact our Washburn storm-damage team for an emergency tarping or shrink-wrap service to prevent further water intrusion. 5) Schedule a professional inspection within 72 hours; quick action helps preserve evidence and speeds the claim.

Will my insurance policy cover the full cost of roof replacement or repair?

Most homeowners policies in North Dakota provide Replacement Cost Value (RCV) coverage for sudden, accidental storm damage, meaning the insurer pays today’s cost for comparable materials minus your deductible. However, older roofs sometimes have Actual Cash Value (ACV) endorsements that subtract depreciation. We review your declarations page with you, explain any exclusions (e.g., cosmetic metal roof damage or manufacturer defects), and structure our estimate to match your policy so you know exactly what will and won’t be reimbursed.

How long does the storm-damage inspection and claims process usually take in Washburn?

• On-site inspection: 1–2 hours, same-day reports available. • Adjuster meeting: typically within 7–10 days of filing the claim, depending on insurer workload after a large storm. • Claim approval: 3–14 days after the adjuster visit. We frequently shorten this by promptly sending drone photos, EagleView reports, and code citations. • Roof replacement scheduling: 1–3 weeks once materials are in stock and weather is favorable. In most cases, Washburn homeowners have a fully restored roof within 30–45 days of the original storm event.

What types of storm damage do you commonly see on roofs in Washburn, and can you repair all of them?

Our crews regularly encounter 1) hail bruising and granule loss on asphalt shingles, 2) lifted or missing shingles from 60+ mph winds, 3) punctures in metal panels from large hail, 4) ice-dam water stains on decking, and 5) fallen-tree impact damage. We are certified installers for GAF, CertainTeed, and Malarkey asphalt shingles, as well as Standing-Seam and R-panel metal systems, so we can repair or replace every common roof type in Ward County. Structural carpentry and gutter replacements are handled in-house, giving you a single point of contact for the entire restoration.

Can filing a storm damage claim raise my insurance premiums?

In North Dakota, claims caused by “acts of nature” such as hail, wind, and lightning are generally classified as Catastrophe (CAT) losses. Most insurers cannot single you out for a rate increase solely because you filed a CAT claim; instead, they may adjust premiums region-wide after a major storm. Submitting legitimate storm claims therefore rarely hurts your individual rate history. We help you weigh the repair cost versus your deductible and advise whether filing makes financial sense before you contact your carrier.
