Document Roof Damage
If you notice any damage to your roof, you should document the damage when it happens. You can grab a notebook and write the date as well as the type of damage. If possible, take pictures with your cell phone or tablet of the damage. It is better to have a written description as well as pictures to prove the damage. If you can get a video of your roof, you should also do that. Any pictures or videos that can show the damage done can be requested by your insurance company in the claims process.
Keep Copies of Your Insurance Policies
Some homeowners do not think to keep copies of their insurance policies available for them to look at. Make sure you have a copy of any warranties and insurance policies that pertain to your home in a spot you can get to fairly easily.
With a copy of your insurance policy, you should be able to determine what will be covered by your insurance company. Check to see how long you have to file a claim and what you can not file on a claim. If you have questions about this our team can help you.
In most cases, if you are filing a claim on your homeowner’s insurance, the insurance company will send out an adjuster to inspect your roof, and then they will decide the payout from the insurance company. We know this can seem a bit intimidating but rest assured this is normal procedure.
