FAQs
How do I know if my roof has sustained storm damage?
After a storm, look for visible signs of damage such as missing shingles, dents in metal roofing, leaks, or water stains on your ceiling. For a thorough assessment, it's advisable to have a professional roofing contractor inspect your roof as some damage may not be easily visible from the ground.
What should I do immediately after a storm has damaged my roof?
First, ensure your safety and that of your family by avoiding any hazardous areas. Next, document the damage with photos and videos. Contact your insurance company to report the damage and begin the claim process. Finally, reach out to a professional roofing contractor to schedule an immediate inspection and temporary repairs to prevent further damage.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover roof repairs for storm damage?
Coverage for storm damage is typically included in most homeowner’s insurance policies, but it is important to review your specific policy details. Generally, insurance will cover damage caused by wind, hail, and other weather events. Your insurance company will require documentation and an inspection to process the claim.
How long do I have to file an insurance claim after storm damage to my roof?
The timeframe for filing an insurance claim can vary depending on your insurance policy and provider. Most insurers encourage filing a claim as soon as possible after the damage occurs. It's best to check your policy for specific deadlines or contact your insurance agent for guidance.
What are the common signs of hail damage on a roof?
Common signs of hail damage include bruised, dented, or cracked shingles, granule loss that exposes the roof felt, soft spots on the shingles, and dents in metal roofing, gutters, or vents. Again, a professional inspection is recommended to accurately assess the extent of the damage.
Can a professional roofing contractor help with the insurance claim process?
Yes, a professional roofing contractor can assist with the insurance claim process by providing a thorough roof inspection, documenting the damage, and offering detailed estimates for the necessary repairs or replacement. This can help ensure that you receive fair compensation from your insurance company for the storm damage.
