Dealing with roof or siding damage after a bad storm is a huge headache—but filing the insurance claim shouldn’t be. At Better Roofing and Contracting, we’re not just your contractor; we’re your advocate, here to guide you through the process, cut the red tape, and make sure you get a fair deal.
Making Sense of the Storm Damage Claims Process
We know this process can feel overwhelming. To make it simple, follow these steps right after the storm hits:
- Stop the Leakage (and Save the Receipts): Your first priority is safety and preventing more damage. Throw a tarp over any major holes and take care of small, immediate fixes. Keep every single receipt for those emergency repairs—your insurer will need them.
- Document It Like a Pro: This is where you can really help yourself. Before you call the agent, grab your phone and take lots of clear photos and videos. Get wide shots of the overall damage and close-ups of specific issues, like bent gutters or missing shingles. The more detail you have, the faster the claim goes.
- Call Your Insurance Agent ASAP: Get in touch with your insurer immediately. They’ll give you a claim number and assign an adjuster.
- We Meet the Adjuster (You Don’t Have to Go It Alone): When the adjuster comes out, we want to be there. Having a Better Roofing expert on-site ensures every bit of hidden damage—the stuff that’s easy to miss—is properly documented. We speak their language and push for the comprehensive assessment your home deserves.
- Get It Fixed Right: Once your claim is approved, we work directly with the insurance company on the estimate. Our job is to make sure that the estimate covers the entire cost of a quality repair, not just the bare minimum. We take the stress out of the paperwork so you can focus on getting your home back to normal.
