Storm Damage
If a storm just blew through your neighborhood and you’re looking at missing shingles, a dented gutter, or a tree limb on the roof, don’t panic, but don’t wait either.
Stay off the roof yourself, especially if it’s wet, and get photos and video of the damage before anything gets moved or cleaned up. Insurance companies want to see it as the storm left it.
If there’s an active leak, a tarp over the spot buys you time and shows you took reasonable steps to prevent further damage, which matters for your claim.
Call a roofer for a free inspection before you call your insurance company, we’ll tell you honestly if it’s worth filing and document it the right way from day one.
