One of the first things homeowners do when dealing with roof storm damage is to file a roof insurance claim. Unfortunately, not all roof claims are approved. And sometimes, even if they are approved, they may be underpaid.
Homeowner’s insurance is sorted into different policies that cover named perils. Roof damage caused by a storm and fire are usually included in the named perils, but your insurance policy must specify its coverage within the contract’s terms and conditions. Otherwise, your insurance claim might get denied.
Your insurance provider will most likely perform its own inspection of your roof. If the company has determined that the roof damage is actually caused by poor maintenance, it may reject your roof claim. To avoid this problem, you should work with a professional roof repair and maintenance contractor to help you keep your roofing system in the best condition.
