Tips on Making a Hail Damage Insurance Claim

Repairing hail damage is usually a very expensive process. This is why any roofer will suggest filing a hail damage insurance claim to lessen the financial burden of the project. Filing for a claim isn’t a sure thing, but you can increase your chances of getting your claim approved if you remember the following tips.

Do Not Delay

Time is your biggest enemy when filing for an insurance claim. The longer you fail to report the damage to your roof, the more likely your claim will get rejected because of negligence. You also have to make sure you get in touch with a professional roofer to have your roof checked.

Get as Much Information as Possible

You should try to get as much info about the damage as possible, even before your local roof repair expert arrives at your place. If you can, take pictures of the damaged parts of your roof. Check indoors if the hail has caused enough damage to create roof leaks. The more info you can provide to the roofer when they arrive, the easier it will be for them to come up with the right fixes.

Get Every Detail of the Roof Work

You’ll have better chances of getting your claim approved if you have a detailed estimate of the costs associated with the repair. Include as much information about the project as you can including the costs, materials that will be used and even a detailed schedule and expected duration of the project. You will have to coordinate with your chosen roofing contractor to get this part down.

Stick to Local Contractors

Another way to increase your chances of getting your claim approved is by choosing a local roofing contractor. In most cases, certified local contractors are recognized by insurance providers. This is especially true for areas recently hit by a storm because storm chasers are more likely to target homeowners. With local contractors, you (and your insurance provider) will be sure that the money’s going to a legit contractor.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
