Why You Should Call a Roofer Before Your Insurance Company

Calling a roofer before the insurance company to assess damages caused by storms is really beneficial. Most roofing companies are in sync with insurance companies and frequently work with them. They can help you in understanding the insurance estimation processes. It also ensures that no insurance company takes advantage of your lack of knowledge. 

Here’s how your roofing contractor works with you to maximize your claim.

1. Roofers Are Experts

A roofer is an expert who can assess the damage and guarantee an accurate and thorough inspection of your roof damage. A roofer doesn’t just look for minor damage on the surface, but the person also assesses your roof for major damage like underlying water leakage problems as well. Once a roofing expert inspects the condition of your roof, the roofing company sends a claim with an accurate appraisal to the insurance company.

2. Saves Your Time

Filing an insurance is not only confusing, but a time-consuming process and may leave you frustrated. 

3. Detailed Documentation of Your Roof Repair

Documentation is a crucial part of getting your insurance claim honored the first time. Your roofer can provide a detailed damage report, including photos, for your review. Sometimes, submitting this packet is sufficient for insurers to grant a claim. That may save you more than a week since insurers can waive their right to have an adjuster personally examine the damage.

4. Accurate Insurance Claim Paperwork

There are several different forms to be filled out to collect on your insurance. Many homeowners find themselves working on that initial claim paperwork alone – only to have their claim rejected due to some minor oversight. Many experienced roofers are familiar with insurance processes and will help you double-check your paperwork.
