It is very common for us to find ourselves in a heap of trouble when our houses, particularly our roofs get damaged by a storm. We not only have difficulty finding a roofing expert to repair the roof, we also have difficulty going through the procedure of getting insurance claims.
The best solution for this type of problem is to look for a roofing contractor that can expertly repair our roof and at the same time very capable in processing insurance claims for houses damaged by a storm.
It is best to hire locally based roofing contractors. They are much more reliable than those who are not. Be cautious who to hire because there are crooks out there posing as roofing contractors. As a rule of thumb, consider only those contractors that have permanent addresses and listed in the Better Business Bureau.
To find out what coverage your insurance policy has, it is best to study them thoroughly. Quite frankly, most of us only take a look at our insurance policies after a disaster has struck. It would have been much better if we had studied the policy beforehand so we will know what it does and does not cover. To start the process of insurance claims in the event that your roof gets damaged because of a storm, insurance companies will require you to present a written estimate assessing the cost of the damage as well as the cost for repair. Once completed, your roofing contractor will file these reports in an industry accepted format for faster processing.
