Insurance roof repair: what to do if your roof has been damaged by a storm
In the event of storm damage to your roof, Heavy Metal Roofing advises following these straightforward steps to address the issue promptly and effectively.
Step 1: Contact the insurance company
The initial step involves contacting your insurance company promptly after the damage occurs. This quick response is crucial in obtaining all necessary documentation for a successful claim.
Step 2: Assessment by insurer
An assessor will be sent by the insurer to examine the condition of the roof and determine whether it requires repairs or replacement.
Step 3: Insurance decision and assessment report
The assessor will meticulously document their observations and capture photos of any visible damage. They will provide a report outlining their findings and recommending any essential work. This report is then submitted to your insurance company for approval, following which an estimate for repair or replacement costs will be provided.
Step 4: Allocation of insurance builder or cash settlement
Following the approval, you will be assigned an insurance builder for the necessary works or offered a cash settlement for nominated repairs.
Step 5: Engage a professional roofing company
