Filing a Roof Insurance Claim

Walker Roofing has had many years of experience working with insurance companies. Our process begins when our salesmen come out and determine if you have damage. You will then need to contact your insurance company to set up your claim. We can meet with you and your insurance adjuster to discuss the damage. Then, we prepare a damage report for you to give to your insurance adjuster. We are always available to answer any questions they may have regarding the damage.

We work with many insurance companies and have a solid reputation for handling the repairs and returning your property to a pre-damaged condition. We receive referrals from many well-known insurance companies and are listed as an approved contractor of choice.

We are able to take care of your roofing, siding, soffit, fascia and gutter work all within one claim and with one contractor. This will resolve the frustration that homeowners have when scheduling and negotiating with multiple contractors.

Roofing Insurance: Myths & Facts

Myth:

My insurance rates will go up if I turn in a claim.

Fact:

sually when a storm comes through an area, it affects a large enough area that the rates go up for the entire state and yours will go up whether you turn in a claim or not. Don’t be stuck with higher rates and damage that goes unfixed.

Myth:

I have to get three estimates and go with the lowest estimate.

Fact:

You are not required to get three estimates. You are able to determine who you want to perform your work. Just because you have insurance money does not mean you have to go with the lowest or cheapest estimate in order to save the insurance company money.

Myth:

It doesn’t matter who I have fix my roof after a storm.

Fact:

During storm season, many companies come into an area temporarily as “storm chasers.” They work an area after a storm then leave to go on to the next storm area. They will not be here to call for warranty work and/or service calls. Many do roofs as fast as they can because they will not worry about warranty on the roof.
