The right order of operations
Most homeowners call their insurance company first, then a contractor. That order causes more claim problems than anything else we see. Here's what actually works:
- Stay off the roof. Damaged shingles are slippery and decking can be compromised. Document from ground level only.
- Photograph everything fast. Date-stamped photos from multiple angles. Don't forget interior ceiling stains, fallen branches, hail marks on siding, dented gutters, and downspouts.
- Get a free inspection from a licensed local roofer. We walk every plane, document with our own photos, and tell you honestly whether the damage meets a claim threshold.
- File the claim with documentation in hand. Filing blind is how claims get under-paid or denied. We give you the photo report and a line-item estimate to file with.
- Have your contractor meet the adjuster. This is the single biggest factor in fair payouts. Adjusters miss damage routinely; an experienced roofer on the ladder with them changes outcomes.
- Get the work done by a local licensed contractor. Not a storm-chaser from out of state who knocked on your door. They disappear the moment the work gets complicated.
About storm chasers
After every major storm in Calvert County, out-of-state contractors flood the area. They door-knock, offer "free inspections," sometimes climb the roof and create damage that wasn't there, and pressure you to sign before you've thought about it. Real local contractors don't operate this way. If someone shows up uninvited offering to "handle everything," ask for their MHIC license number, verify it on the Maryland licensing site, and look up their physical address. The good ones welcome the scrutiny.
