How to Start an Insurance Claim for a Roof or Siding

People are calling asking us how to go about making that insurance claim for their roof or siding that has been damaged in a storm. So here are the steps you need to take.
  1. Call the claims department of your insurance company and let them know you believe that you may have some storm damage. They will ask when the damage occurred and what type of damage.
  2. They insurance company will send out an adjuster to asses the damage to your home. They will then write up a scope of work so you will know how much the insurance company will pay for the work that needs to be done.
  3. You will then need to call roofers or siders to come out and give you an estimate on what they will charge to do the work. It is also good to tell the roofing/siding company that this is an insurance claim.
  4. Once you choose the company you want to work with, they should be able to handle the insurance side of things from here on out. The insurance company will send you the checks to give to the roofing/siding company but other than that, they should be able to handle it for you.
Should be fairly easy for you as a homeowner. If you need any help or a free, no obligation quote, call Hunter's Choice Roofing and Siding at 330-408-7194.
