When harsh weather hits your area, your roof and other parts of your home may get damaged. Even if your roof looks in good shape after a storm, you should still hire a reputable roofing contractor to check it. Sometimes, you will not even know it has a problem until water starts leaking into your interior. Moreover, a roofer can also help with your insurance claim.

Avoid Confusion
Filing a storm damage insurance claim can be confusing and overwhelming, especially if you’re doing it for the first time. Review the coverage of your policy to know what your insurer will and will not pay for. Your roofer can assist by inspecting the damage on your roof and working with your insurer to help ensure that repairs are covered.
More Accurate Assessment
Unlike adjusters, residential roofing contractors are experienced and knowledgeable about spotting roof damage. Roofing professionals can offer you a more thorough and accurate assessment of the issue. After the inspection, your roofer will show their findings to the adjuster. This way, the adjuster knows what exactly your roof needs and can offer you a more reasonable settlement.
Know If Your Claim Is Worth Filing
In some cases, it may not be worth it to file an insurance claim. When you know how much it would cost to repair or replace your roof, you’ll get a better idea if your claim is worth filing or not. Keep in mind that your insurance rates may go up if you inappropriately file a claim, costing you more over time.
