Storm damage? Get inspected first. Most homeowners call their insurance company before they know what's actually wrong — and that's how claims get denied or settled for half what they're worth. Here's the right order of operations.
Before you ever pick up the phone to your insurer. A licensed contractor walks every plane of the roof and tells you honestly whether you have damage that meets a claim threshold. No damage = no claim filed = no premium hike risk.
Exterior shots, ceiling stains inside the house, fallen branches in the yard, hail-strike marks on gutters and siding. Date-stamped. The first 24 hours after damage is when documentation is cleanest and most credible to an adjuster.
Real local contractors don't door-chase after a storm. If someone shows up offering to "handle everything" before you've even called your insurer, walk away. Out-of-state storm-chasers disappear the moment work gets complicated.
Adjusters miss damage every single day. Having an experienced roofer on the ladder with them is the biggest single factor in whether your claim pays out fairly — or under-pays you by thousands of dollars.
Once the claim is approved, we manage code upgrades, permits, dumpsters, material delivery, and final inspection. You shouldn't be project-managing your own roof replacement on top of a stressful claim.
