You’ve Suffered Roof Damage From a Hurricane … Now What?

We are in the midst of hurricane season and with Ian recently wreaking havoc on the Southwestern coast of Florida, it’s imperative that you know what to do when you experience roof damage from a hurricane. Ideally, it’s best to check your policy and extend coverage prior to the season, especially if you live in an area that is susceptible to hurricanes. After the damage occurs follow these simple steps: 1. Following the damage, call your insurance company to make a claim. 2. Share documentation with your insurance company to get a more accurate claim. During this is process it is smart to call a roofing company to get an assessment of the damage. 3. After the insurance claim decision is made, make sure to ask questions until you understand the decision and what to expect moving forward. 4.
