Storm Damage Insurance Claims Assistance

Your homeowner’s insurance should pay for the cost of restoring your roof to its original condition if it has been damaged by hail, wind or other storms. That’s at least how it should be in theory. It doesn’t always work that way in practice. Your insurance company is motivated to keep its costs low. After all, they are a for-profit business. Their biggest cost is paying out claims. It’s a fact that your insurance company and your interests may not be completely aligned. You want your roof back to its original condition before the storm. Your insurance company wants you to manage costs.

Do we really believe that insurance companies only want to deceive you? That wouldn’t be fair. We are not saying you should ignore the process. Your agent will not be the claims adjuster, no matter how much you love your insurance agent. It’s a complicated process, and homeowners don’t know as much about the details.

Is your adjuster knowledgeable about roofing and insurance claims?

We’ve seen it all too often: Roof insurance adjusters don’t have enough knowledge about roofs. It may sound absurd, but this is a common occurrence.

Here are some examples of what we have seen:

• Hail damage, which is covered by insurance, is often confused with “blistering”, which is heat damage from a poorly ventilated roof system that is not covered by insurance. Your claim will be denied if the adjuster makes a mistake.
• Insurance companies sometimes employ adjusters from other departments to deal with large storms. These adjusters have no roofing experience and are often unable to handle the flurry of claims.
• Roof claim adjusters are not able to distinguish between true storm damage (covered) and normal wear and tear (not included).
• One memorable moment was when we met an adjuster on the first day in the field. He wasn’t properly trained and had no adjuster to help him. And he didn’t know how to climb the ladder.

Ask yourself: If any of these events occurred with your claim, would you believe you’ll receive a fair shake if you didn’t have someone who is experienced looking after you? RoofWorks and Construction can help you if your roof has been damaged by hail, wind or other storm damage.
