Trusted Guidance for Storm Damage Insurance Claims

Determine if a Claim is warranted: Unless you have been hit with a catastrophic hail or wind storm, you should have a qualified roofing contractor, such as Brian Thompson Roofing, inspect your roof prior to making a claim to determine if there is enough roof damage to warrant making a claim. Many roofing companies will tell you there is damage and that you should file a claim without ever having inspected the roof, in hopes that an adjuster will agree to replace it. In many cases, the storm damage can be repaired for less than your insurance deductible, and with most insurance companies, once you have filed a claim, it goes on your record even if the insurance company doesn’t pay a penny.

With some insurance companies, if you have 2 or 3 claims in a 1 to 3 year period, they will cancel your insurance. Brian Thompson Roofing always looks at your property as if it is our own. If we wouldn’t file a claim, we don’t recommend that you file one. We will support all our roof damage assessments with photos.
