Tips to Help with Insurance Claims
Know Your Insurance Policy
The first step in any insurance claim is to read over and understand your policy. Many homeowners have insurance but don't know what their policy actually covers. Did you choose to exclude wind and hail damage, or is your coverage for replacement cost or actual cash value? These are questions that will be in your policy paperwork or are a phone call away from your local insurance agent. Slaughter Roofing is experienced in partnering with insurance companies to make repairs happen quickly, but everyone's insurance can be unique. Be sure to contact your agent to get the quickest response.
Check out the Damage
Following a storm, it's crucial to evaluate the damage not only to your roof but to your entire home. As local Greeley roofers for over 36 years, Slaughter Roofing can direct you to many other local trades that we work with regularly and trust to refer your home repairs to as well.
Track Everything
It's vital to maintain records of all communication with your insurance provider. A good insurance agent is invaluable, but a poor one can complicate claims. Remember, insurance companies are profit-oriented enterprises. Thus, it's in your best interest to document all damage by taking photos and jotting down notes on any conversations you have with representatives.
Get an estimate
This may seem like a no-brainer, but when you have a major storm it is important to choose a quality contractor like Slaughter Roofing. Following a storm in Northern Colorado, storm chasers often go door to door, seeking a quick payday at your expense. Choosing a local roofing contractor who has a vested interest in the affected community is a more reliable option. It's unwise to rely solely on the insurance adjuster's assessment of the repair cost. Instead, opt for a professional roofing team that can provide a thorough estimate complete with the company information and letterhead. If you require guidance with handling your insurance claim, Slaughter Roofing can provide the support you need. Give us a call at 970-330-7881.
