All roofs are vulnerable to some amount of damage whenever a huge storm hits. Unfortunately, for some, roofing damage after a storm may require extensive repair or even a full replacement. If you find yourself in such a predicament and needing financial help from your insurance company, roof replacement and repair expert, Superior Roofing, suggests you do the following.
Call For Assistance
Once you are able to, contact your roofer for help right away. Don’t attempt to inspect your roof yourself to avoid any untoward incidents. Your roof may look undisturbed, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t damaged. A full inspection of your home will be needed; apart from your roof, you should have your siding and windows inspected, too. The information gathered during inspection will be useful when filing your claim.
Document Everything
Particularly in instances where emergency roof repair has to be undertaken to prevent further damage to your property, documentation is necessary. Be sure to work with a roofer like Superior Roofing who understands the importance of keeping all records organized and available for your use in talks with your insurance company.
File Your Claim Urgently
As soon as you have all the information and documents you need, make the call to your insurer and file a claim. There are a number of steps that you’ll have to go through before receiving whatever financial assistance you may be given, and the sooner you do the paperwork, the less trouble you can expect.
