Step 1: Assess the Roof Damage
After a storm or accident, the first step is to visually inspect your roof—from the ground. Look for missing shingles, dented flashing, or obvious holes. If you suspect damage, don’t climb on the roof yourself.
Instead, call American Roofing Pros New Jersey to schedule a free inspection. We’ll safely assess your roof and provide photo documentation that can support your insurance claim.
Step 2: Review Your Homeowner’s Insurance Policy
Not all roof damage is covered by insurance. Most policies cover sudden and accidental damage caused by:
-
Windstorms or hail
-
Falling trees or debris
-
Fire or lightning
Wear and tear or age-related issues usually aren’t covered. Review your policy or contact your insurance agent to confirm your coverage.
Step 3: File the Insurance Claim
Once roof damage is confirmed, it’s time to file your claim. Most insurance companies require you to file within a limited time after the incident—so don’t delay.
You’ll need:
-
Documentation of the damage (photos, inspection report)
-
A copy of your insurance policy
-
Any estimates from roofing contractors
Need help? Our team at American Roofing Pros New Jersey can assist with this step to ensure a smoother process.
Step 4: Schedule an Insurance Adjuster Inspection
After filing the claim, your insurer will send an adjuster to inspect the roof. Having your roofer on-site during this visit ensures that all damage is properly documented—especially damage the adjuster might overlook.
We routinely attend adjuster meetings for our clients to advocate for a fair and accurate claim estimate.
Step 5: Roof Repair or Replacement
Once your claim is approved, you’ll receive funds to repair or replace the roof. Choose a licensed, insured, and experienced contractor like American Roofing Pros New Jersey to complete the work quickly and professionally.
