How to get the insurance company to pay for a new roof replacement?
As a roofing company, we understand the stress and financial burden that comes with having to replace a damaged roof. Fortunately, if your roof has been damaged due to a covered event, your insurance policy may cover the cost of a new roof replacement. However, getting your insurance company to pay for a new roof replacement can be a complicated process. In this blog post, we will provide you with some tips on how to get your insurance company to pay for a new roof replacement.
Document the damage
The first step in getting your insurance company to pay for a new roof replacement is to document the damage. Take photos and videos of the damage, and make a list of any items that were damaged as well. This documentation will be used as evidence when you file your insurance claim.
Review your insurance policy
Before filing your insurance claim, review your insurance policy to ensure that your roof damage is covered. Not all insurance policies cover roof damage caused by natural disasters such as hail, wind, or storms. It's important to understand your policy and what is covered.
Hire a roofing professional
Hire a professional roofing company to assess the damage to your roof. A professional will provide an estimate of the cost to repair or replace the roof, and provide a detailed report of the damage. This report can be used as evidence to support your insurance claim.
File an insurance claim
Once you have documented the damage and have a professional report, it's time to file an insurance claim. Contact your insurance company and provide them with the documentation of the damage and the professional report. Be sure to ask for a claim number, and keep a record of all conversations and correspondence with your insurance company.
Cooperate with the insurance adjuster
Before filing your insurance claim, review your insurance policy to ensure that your roof damage is covered. Not all insurance policies cover roof damage caused by natural disasters such as hail, wind, or storms. It's important to understand your policy and what is covered.
Negotiate with the insurance company
If your insurance company offers to pay for a repair rather than a replacement, negotiate with them. Provide them with evidence that a replacement is necessary and provide them with the estimate from the professional roofing company. Don't settle for less than what you need to cover the cost of a new roof replacement.
