Damaged Roof Insurance Claims

Should You File A Damaged Roof Insurance Claim?

Looking at the damage to your property after a storm has passed can be unsettling. Luckily, GoodGood Roofing & Siding are experts when it comes to the damaged storm insurance claim process. Our experienced roofing contractors will be on-site quickly to identify the damage and work with your insurance adjuster directly. When you hire us, you can enjoy a hassle free process from start to finish during the roof restoration process.

If your roof was damaged during a storm and you have an insurance policy that covers roof damage, you may be able to have your roof replaced through your home insurance. However, it's important to note that not all policies cover roof replacement. Your policy may only cover repairs or other types of compensation for your home's structure or specific parts.

Storm Damage Checklist

The roof insurance claim process can be complex and confusing, particularly when you are trying to get your claim accepted. To make the process easier for you, we have put together this checklist of things to do if you think you have experienced storm damage to your property.

Step 1:

After a storm has safely passed, assess your roof for storm damage by walking around the perimeter of your property. Look for any obvious signs of damage such as missing, cracked or lifted shingles.

Step 2:

Check for dents in your gutters and cracks in your windows.

Step 3:

Inspect for fallen tree limbs, broken fences, and damage to landscaping.

Step 4:

Keep an eye out for leaks and water spots inside your home, especially in the attic and on the ceilings of upper rooms.

Step 5:

Take pictures and videos of any storm damage that you identify to share with your roofing contractor and insurance company in case of filing a claim.

What Are The Signs That You May Have Storm Damage To Your Roof?

Do you notice any missing shingles? It's fairly easy to spot because the missing shingle will have blown off the roof deck, leaving an "empty" spot on your roof. In the event of a wind storm, you may notice the lifting or creasing of your shingles. This is more difficult to spot from ground level, but often it will look as if the shingle has been bent, causing a crease.

When the seal between shingles and your roof is compromised or broken, wind can cause the shingles to lift. If you notice or suspect any of these issues present within your roofing system, we can help with our roof repair and roof replacement services!

Our professionals are trained to spot storm damage, which can go unnoticed by untrained eyes. We know you want to avoid dealing with storm damage in your home or business, so let us help you identify it before it becomes a major problem.
