Roof Damage Tips
Hail damage on your roof? Here's what to do β and what NOT to do. π βοΈ
β
DO document everything before any repairs begin β
DO call your insurance company promptly β most policies require timely notice β
DO get a professional inspection from a licensed contractor β
Mitigation - DO keep receipts for any emergency repairs you make to prevent further damage
β DON'T sign a contract with a contractor before your adjuster has inspected β DON'T let anyone pressure you into filing a claim if the damage is minor β DON'T make permanent repairs before the insurance company has completed their inspection
The claims process works best when everyone β insured, contractor, and adjuster β is working from the same set of facts.
