Insurance Steps To File A Claim
Unfortunately, homeowners often must deal with the harsh reality of the devastating damage storms can do. Wind, hail, debris, and trees can cause minor or severe damage if the conditions are right. If roof damage, in particular, goes unchecked, further water or structural damage can occur over time.
More fortunately, many people decide to invest in damage insurance that can help fund the costs of making vital repairs to a home. If you’re someone who has experienced roof damage, you may find the claims process tedious and annoying. Regardless, it’s critical to ensure that you approach the insurance claim correctly if you want to recoup the right amount of money
At Proaccess Roofing, we’ve helped countless homeowners file insurance claims for roofing repairs. We’re experts in the industry that can help you solve your roofing issues and file successful claims. As roofing insurance can be quite complicated, let’s take a closer look at the process and how we can help.
The Process
Understanding the insurance process can help you improve the chances you lodge a successful insurance claim. The typical process that occurs when you file an insurance claim for storm damage is as follows:
Assess Damage
If you notice damage to your roof or home, first call Proaccess Roofing to assess the damage. Some damage may be hard to recognize, so we recommend inspections every 2-3 years or after bad storms because hail damage, wind damage, and debris can cause issues without you realizing the problem.
Contact Insurance Provider
If Proaccess Roofing determines that there is roof damage, it is now time to contact your insurance company to report the issue and begin the claims process. Proaccess Roofing will be there with you to walk you through the claims process.
Wait for Insurance Assessment
Next your insurance company will most likely send out an insurance adjuster to your home to assess the damage. The inspector's job is to verify the damage that Proaccess Roofing assessed during their hands-on inspection. Proaccess Roofing will be on site during this adjustment to represent you through this process.
File Documentation
Once the insurance adjustment is completed and the roof is approved for a repair or a replacement, Proaccess Roofing will review the received documentation from the insurance company with you and confirm details of the provided estimate from insurance.
Wait for the Outcome
Once you have filed all your documentation, you should hear back from the insurance provider in due course. If you experience a delay in the verdict on your claim, it’s important to ask your insurance company for additional clarity.
Using the right roof repair company
By using the right roof repair company, you can help ensure that the insurance process is handled correctly.
