After a storm hits, it’s ideal to schedule an inspection by a local roofing company. The company’s assessments greatly supplement the necessary data to file a successful insurance claim. Your local contractor’s opinion will also matter after insurance adjusters inspect your roof. 

Today, we talk about the importance of getting a second opinion on your roof’s storm damage.

Why You Should Consider a Second Opinion

Insurance adjusters may miss or omit several details that could qualify your roof for coverage. For example, they may claim the roof lacked maintenance; that’s why it was damaged by the storm. Another reason they usually point out is that the storm exacerbated previous damage that wasn’t addressed properly.

Local roofers have a report consisting of photos and videos to support that your roof has suffered significantly from the storm. This is crucial when insurance adjusters insist that your roof only has minor damage. A second opinion from a roofing contractor who responded to your emergency call can disprove the insurance adjuster’s claims.

Why Trust Local Roofers

Local roofers like Exterior Building Solutions forge genuine relationships with their clients in the community. They will give an honest perspective to ensure your home receives the coverage it deserves. Local roofers are meticulous and will record every damage caused by the recent storm.

Assessing Your Insurance Adjuster’s Offer

Adjusters may try to undercut the storm damage benefits you might receive. To ensure they give you a fair payout, get at least three estimates from local contractors to have an idea about the repair and replacement costs that your roof needs. Compare this with the adjuster’s offer and challenge it with the help of your roofer if it seems insufficient.
