Here in Texas, we’re no strangers to severe weather. From thunderstorms and lightning to high winds and hail, our roofs take a beating. And while most roofs are built to withstand a lot of wear and tear, there comes the point when even the sturdiest of roofs need repair or replacement. If your home has suffered hail damage, you may be wondering how to file a roof insurance claim.

Your roof is designed to safeguard your home from several forces of nature: severe winds, large hail, downpours, and more. However, sometimes these weather conditions can cause damage to your roof in the form of hailstones or high winds. Consequently, this compromises not just the condition of your roof but also the rest of your house.

You’ll want to contact your insurance agent or company as soon as possible. You’ll need to give them some basic information about the damage, such as when it occurred and what type of damage was done. It’s also a good idea to have pictures of the damage available to show your insurance agent or company.

Once you’ve reported the hail damage to your insurance agent or company, they will likely send out an adjuster to assess the damage and determine whether or not your policy will cover the repairs. In most cases, hail damage is covered by homeowners insurance policies. However, it’s important to note that every policy is different, so it’s always a good idea to review your policy beforehand to see what is and isn’t covered.

If your policy does cover hail damage, the insurance company will likely pay for any repairs that are needed to fix the damage. In some cases, they may even provide you with a list of recommended contractors that you can use for the repairs. It’s important to note that you are not required to use the contractors on the list, but it can be a good idea to get multiple estimates from different companies before making a final decision.

After you have the repairs done, it’s a good idea to take pictures of the finished product and send them to your insurance company. This will help them keep track of the repairs that were made and ensure that you are reimbursed for the total amount of the repairs.

It’s also a good idea to keep all receipts and documentation from the repairs so that you have a record of what was done. This can be helpful if there are any disputes about the repairs later on.

If you have any questions about what your insurance policy covers, it’s a good idea to contact your agent or company representative. They should be able to help you understand your coverage and what options are available to you. Filing an insurance claim doesn’t have to be a lengthy, overwhelming process. Let Space Construction handle everything for you while you sit back and relax. We’ll file your claim and deal with the paperwork, meet with the adjuster, and restore any damage done to your home. With our experienced contractors on the job, you’re guaranteed a successful claim and a restored home in no time.

We have extensive experience filing insurance claims for damaged roofs of all types—asphalt shingles, metal, tile, etc. The roofing contractors on our team will perform their own inspection and manage the entire process from there: paperwork, meeting with the insurance adjuster, and finally handling the restoration efforts once your claim is approved.

Following the approval of your claim, your insurance company will likely send out a check to cover the cost of repairs. However, it’s essential to be aware that your insurance company may only pay for repairs up to the depreciated value of your roof. This means that if your roof is ten years old, your insurance company may only reimburse you for half of the cost of repairs.

If you have any questions about filing a roof insurance claim or about the claims process in general, be sure to contact Space Construction. Our experts will be able to help you navigate the process and ensure that you get the compensation you deserve.

Once the adjuster has inspected the damage and you have received estimates for repairs, your insurance company will send you a check for the cost of repairs. It’s vital to keep in mind that the check will likely be made out to both you and your mortgage company. This is because your mortgage company has a financial interest in your home as well. You will need to endorse the check and send it back to your insurance company so they can issue a new one made out only to you.

When you have received the check from your insurance company, you can begin making repairs. Remember, if you have any questions along the way, your insurance agent is always just a phone call away and happy to help however they can!

Hiring Space Construction to help with your roof insurance claim means that you’ll have someone on your side who knows exactly what they’re doing. We’ll be there with the adjuster from start to finish, making sure that all damage is accounted for so that you can get the best possible outcome.
