Many people think that roof damage can only occur during severe storms, but even small storms can cause issues with your roof. If you think that last storm left you with a damaged roof, don’t panic. Just follow this guide from Beyond Exteriors, and you’ll have a strong, sturdy roof again in no time.
Step 1.) Get a Roof Inspection From a Local Roofing Company
You can’t fix storm damage if you don’t know its extent, but how do you check for roof damage after a storm? Simple — you schedule a roof inspection with a trusted roofing company.
Beyond Exteriors can inspect your roof by:
- Looking for surface-level damage: Our team can visually inspect the roof from the outside.
- Uncovering deeper roof damage: We’ll remove storm debris and test your roof to determine what needs to be repaired or replaced.
- Discussing our findings with you: We’ll tell you what is considered storm damage to a roof and let you know your options.
Once we inspect your roof, we will give you a free estimate for the cost of the damage.
Step 2.) Contact Your Insurance Provider
Once you’ve gotten a professional roof inspection and know the extent of the damage, you need to contact your insurance provider to put in a claim. Roof repairs can be costly, and you may wonder whether homeowners insurance covers roof damage from storms. It usually does, but the extent of your coverage will depend on your insurance.
Beyond Exteriors has extensive experience guiding customers through the insurance claims process. We can help you understand what your policy will cover, file your insurance claim, and get the most out of your insurer.
Step 3.) Perform Emergency Roof Repairs
Insurance companies often get bogged down with calls after a storm, so handling your claim might take longer than expected. In the meantime, you should limit further damage to your roof with these simple steps.
Beyond Exteriors can perform emergency roof tarping to keep your roof from leaking. We can also perform emergency storm damage repairs to prevent further damage to the interior of your home.
Step 4.) Receive Insurance Claim Approval
At this point, your insurance company will get back to you with information about your claim. An insurance adjuster will show you how much they’re willing to cover based on the information they’ve received, but this isn’t always enough. An adjuster will often talk to the contractor to get a full picture.
Beyond Exteriors can speak with your insurance adjuster to ensure you get as much coverage as possible for your repairs.
Step 5.) Perform Roof Repairs or Replacement
Once the claim is finalized and approved, your contractor can start your roofing work. If you’ve been working with Beyond Exteriors up to this point, you can relax as we handle the rest. We’ll cover everything from cracked or missing shingles to full roof replacement work.
