Roof Insurance Claims in Philadelphia

Roof Insurance Claims in Philadelphia

With Philadelphia’ harsh weather conditions, it’s inevitable that homeowners must often deal with the reality of the devastating damage storms can do. Wind, hail, debris, and trees can cause minor or severe damage if the conditions are right. If roof damage, in particular, goes unchecked, further water or structural damage can occur over time.

Lucky for some, there’s damage insurance to help fund repairs. However, the claims process is not always that simple. Home Genius Exteriors has helped countless Philadelphia homeowners file insurance claims for roofing repairs. We’re industry experts that can help you solve your roofing issues and file successful claims. As roofing insurance can be quite complicated, let’s take a closer look at the process and how we can help.

The Process

Understanding the insurance claims process can help you improve the chances of a successful claim. The typical process that occurs when you file an insurance claim for storm damage is as follows:

1. ASSESS DAMAGE

  • A self-inspection of the damage is a good first step, but bear in mind that you may not be able to spot all damage.
  • Contact your local roofing contractor to further assess the damage as there is a good chance you as the homeowner won’t catch everything.

 

2. CONTACT INSURANCE PROVIDER

  • Once damage is identified, contact your insurance company to report the issue and begin the claims process.
  • Make sure to get in touch with your insurance provider as soon as you’re aware there is damage to your roof.

 

3. INSURANCE ASSESSMENT

  • Your insurance provider will then send an individual to your home to assess in order to determine if there is damage and whether your insurance policy covers it.
  • If you believe you’re being ripped off, make sure to contact a roofing repair company that can provide a second opinion on the damage.

 

4. FILE DOCUMENTATION

  • Once you decide to repair the roof, you’ll have to file documentation that outlines the repairs required. This documentation should also outline the person who fixed it, as well as the cost associated with the repairs.

 

5. WAIT FOR THE OUTCOME

  • Once you have filed all your documentation, you should hear back from the insurance provider in due course.
  • If you experience a delay in the verdict on your claim, it’s important to ask your insurance company for additional clarity.

 

Insurance Claim Tips

On top of using the right roofing repair company, there are a few other things you can do to help ensure your roof damage claim is processed smoothly. Here’s how you can improve your chances of a successful claim.

Document Everything

Successful roofing insurance claims require extensive documentation. It’s important to take photos of damage, repairs, and anything else that you may think is relevant to your insurance claim. Don’t take roof damage insurance claims lightly.

Act Fast

As with any insurance claim, it’s essential to get in touch with your insurance company as quickly as possible. Timely filing is the best way to set the record straight and ensure they are aware that damage to your home has already occurred.

Have a repair team on standby

Besides helping to prevent further damage, a professional roof repair team can help you avoid further technical questions and requirements from your insurance company.

The crew that represent the company ( Buddy, Alex, Tim, Pablo, and the crew) are the greatest persons I've met. Very professional, pleasant, respectful, and they show up on time, they all take their time to explain all my questions/concerns and show me every step of the project. I am grateful to be served by these wonderful people and company.”

“Home Genius Exteriors replaced my entire roof and they were absolutely amazing. They were professional, did quality work, and had great customer service. We had missing shingles and Home Genius was able to complete our roof in less than a week from the estimate! Melissa did the estimate and was very knowledgeable and helped us make the best decision for our home. Casey was the project manager and she communicated all the information we needed, was on top of everything with the project, and was even helping clean up after the work was complete to make sure the yard was safe for my kids. Would definitely recommend Home Genius 10/10 they went the extra mile!”

“I’m very impressed with Home Genius Exteriors. From the sales opportunity, to ordering, and finally execution everything was smooth sailing. Rob, who sold us our roof, was educated on the product and process. He answered all my detailed questions with patience. A special comment must be left for our Project Manager, Mike, who went above and beyond in every way. He was always available, answers all our questions, thoroughly reviewed the work was done, and even let us know that he is available after the project with any questions. You can tell he truly takes pride in his work. I have worked with others, and so has my family, and I’ll tell you right now we’re sticking with Home Genius Exteriors for all future projects due to Mike’s customer service. Highly recommended company to work with! Our roof is gorgeous.”
