Filing A Hail Damage Claim With Your Insurance Company

The process of filing a hail damage claim has a number of steps. An insurance adjuster will come inspect your property, they will recommend a contractor to handle repairs, and your claim will be filed and, hopefully, approved. What many homeowners don't know is that you don't have to use the contractor recommended to you by your insurance company. Even general contractors can handle a hail damage claim if that is the route you choose to follow.

Roofing General Contractors And Your Hail Damage Claim

If you think your property may have damage after a storm, the first thing you want to do is bring out a contractor for an inspection. Roofing general contractors are trained to see damage that your insurance adjuster may overlook. If you even suspect damage, having a contractor on site when your insurance adjuster comes to perform their inspection can work to your benefit.

The general contractor will voice any concerns about the scope of work that you may have with the insurance adjuster. With their professional support, all of the necessary work should be included when you file your hail damage claim. The inspection is also a great time for you to ask all of your pressing questions. When you work with expert roofing general contractors, you’ll receive high-quality advice and insights into the insurance claims and hail damage repair process.

What If There’s A Dispute?

Many homeowners can get easily frustrated with the insurance claims process. You’ve got a busy schedule and the last thing you want to deal with is an insurance claim. At times, even the roofing general contractors and insurance adjusters can disagree over the scope of work. Should there be a dispute over the scope of work on your property, a public adjuster will get involved to determine the final scope.

Very rarely will the hiring of roofing general contractors lead to a dispute in the insurance claims process. In fact, most insurance premiums include the overhead and profit costs that lead most homeowners to believe they cannot hire a general contractor for repairs that are going to be claimed through their insurance. If you're not sure whether or not your premium includes these additional costs, talk to your insurance representative.

Executing The Repairs

After all of the roof damages are accounted for, the repairs can begin. As their title implies, roofing general contractors are very knowledgeable in roof repairs. They’re familiar with the best practices for hail damage repairs and can help you make the best decisions for your property.
