The Importance of Roof Insurance Claims Done Right
When your home is damaged, the first step for many homeowners is to consider their insurance policy. Homeowner’s insurance is meant to cover these exact problems, right? Unfortunately, navigating an insurance claim can be complicated and messy without the proper guidance. Roof insurance claims require a lot of specific steps, detailed information collection, and high-quality images to maximize your chances of approval. But understanding what those steps are can be confusing, especially when you’re dealing with the aftermath of a devastating storm. When one misstep is all it takes to be denied coverage, how do you give yourself the best chance of success?

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to hire an experienced roofing contractor?
While the savings of DIY can feel tempting, DIY roof repair can cost you more in the long run. Your insurance might require you to use a professional roofing company to perform your repairs to maintain your coverage.
Failing to do so may lead to the denial of coverage in the future. Furthermore, a skilled roofing contractor has the experience necessary to ensure that your roof is done right and weatherproofed in the event of another storm or adverse weather conditions.

What step should be taken after roof damage?
Your first step should be to contact Coastal Elite Roofing for a complete survey of the damage. In the meantime, take whatever photos you can safely take of the surrounding area’s damage and any evidence of the storm’s effect.
Once we arrive, our team will quickly survey the area to determine how safe it is for your family to remain in the home. We’ll also take thorough photos and make chalk markings that will be useful for improving your chances of coverage once you contact your insurance company.
What aspects impact my coverage?
Coverage is primarily determined by a few key factors: age, cause of the damage, and frequency of claims. While other factors can come into play, these three will be some of the biggest outside of the specifics of your policy. A roof expected to last for 20 years on its 15th year is unlikely to receive the same level of coverage as a younger roof; similarly, a roof that has damage caused by failure to perform maintenance will receive less coverage than one that received damage from an unexpected natural disaster. But no matter the age or cause of damage, repetitive claims (especially for minor damages) will raise rates and risk your chances of getting covered.
