Even though you can’t really have a guarantee that your insurance claims will be taken seriously by your insurer, it’s usually considered that the reputation of the insurance company will be on the line if they try too hard to avoid providing you with the right compensation. As a result, being organized, presenting the right evidence and having a professional roofer, like R4 Roofing and Exteriors, at your side can carry a lot of weight. If you also hire a knowledgeable attorney or insurance adjuster, it will be even better.

The first thing you need to do before filing an insurance claim is to take a closer look at your actual insurance policy to see if the damage is covered. If your coverage level actually says that you can get compensated, for example, when your roof was damaged by an uncommonly strong storm, you can start the process of gathering evidence to showcase the damage and file your claim.

Start by taking pictures and videos of the damage as soon as possible. If a big hole opened up in your roof during the storm, make sure you film it and show how much damage it caused to your home as the water was coming through. Also, ask your roofer to complete a thorough investigation so they can give their expert opinion on the damage and how much it will cost to fix it. Should you present all the right documents and evidence to your insurance company, there’s really no reason why you can’t get the proper compensation for repairing the damage properly.
