GOT HAIL?

Here is what to do.

 

1. Don’t get in a hurry and make a hasty decision.

Too many people get in too big a hurry and fall prey to hustlers or people that are more interested in making a fast buck than taking care of you, the customer. If your roof is leaking, call us and we can perform an emergency repair to get you dry and keep you dry until permanent repairs can be completed. Most insurance companies will allow you a year and a half to replace your roof.

 

2. Contact your insurance company and turn in a claim immediately.

Waiting too long can sometimes result in the roof deteriorating and this can cover up any signs of hail damage if it exists. This in turn, could cause your claim to be turned down by your insurance company. When there is a large sized hail storm, your insurance company will probably be receiving a lot of calls, so be patient. It sometimes could take an adjuster several weeks to inspect your roof.

 

3. How the claim is handled.

Once the adjuster inspects your roof and determines there is a valid claim, the adjuster will figure a settlement based on the company’s preset rate per square (10’ X 10’ area) of the roof. You will receive a written adjuster’s report and first insurance check. This check is for the actual cash value of the roof (Total Replacement less depreciation less deductible.) The roof is then installed and then an invoice is submitted to the insurance company. Sometimes, we are able to supplement the insurance company for any additional items or amounts that were left off the original adjuster’s report. You then will receive a second check for the recoverable depreciation plus any supplements. (The 1st and 2nd check will equal the invoice less the deductible.)
