Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Insurance Claims

Navigating the insurance claims process for roof damage can be daunting, especially after a severe weather event. At Arrowhead Roofing, we’re committed to helping you every step of the way. Below, we address some common questions homeowners have about insurance claims and explain how our expertise can make the process smoother and more efficient.

Will I Slow Down My Roof Insurance Claim Process by Using Arrowhead Roofing?

Absolutely not. In fact, using a contractor that specializes in roof insurance claims can speed up the process. Insurance companies prefer working with professionals who understand their terminology and methods. At Arrowhead Roofing, we use the same estimating software as many insurance companies, which helps streamline communication and ensures accuracy in damage assessments.

Can My Agent Help Me Get a Better Claim?

Your insurance agent’s primary role is to ensure you have the right coverage. However, the claims department operates separately from your agent’s office and their ability to influence the claims process is limited. While your agent can provide advice and support, the claims adjusters handle the specifics of claim approval and payout. This is where our expertise comes in handy.

The Adjuster Told Me I Didn’t Have a Claim or Enough Damage. What Can I Do?

If an adjuster states that there’s not enough damage to file a roof insurance claim, you are within your rights to request a re-inspection. Many homeowners are unaware of this option. At Arrowhead Roofing, we’ve helped thousands of clients get the proper claim payments by identifying overlooked damage. Our experts can point out and discuss the damage with the adjuster, ensuring nothing is missed.

Do I Need Arrowhead Roofing at My Initial Inspection?

While it’s not necessary to have us present at the initial inspection, having a representative from Arrowhead Roofing during re-inspections is highly recommended. Our specialized knowledge in roofing and construction ensures that any discrepancies in damage assessment are addressed. Adjusters are trained professionals, but they may not have the same level of expertise in identifying specific roofing issues as we do.

Will My Insurance Premium Increase if I File a Claim?

If you live in an area affected by storm damage, your insurance premiums will likely increase regardless of whether you file a claim. Filing a legitimate claim for covered damage won’t uniquely impact your rates. At Arrowhead Roofing, we only recommend filing a claim if we confirm that the damage is covered under your policy. We aim to protect our clients from filing unnecessary claims that could affect their insurance records.

Can I Use Any Contractor if My Claim Is Approved?

Yes, as the policyholder, you have the right to choose any contractor to complete the work. However, selecting a reputable contractor like Arrowhead Roofing ensures that the job is done correctly and to industry standards. We handle over 400 claims annually and have built a reputation for quality and excellence. Choosing an unlicensed or uninsured contractor can lead to additional costs and issues down the road.

I Received My Insurance Paperwork but Don’t Understand It. Can You Help?

Absolutely. Arrowhead Roofing provides free insurance assistance to all our clients. We can help you understand your insurance paperwork and the claims process. This includes explaining any additional funds you may be entitled to, such as depreciation recoveries from replacement cost policies. We aim to ensure you fully understand your claim and the funds available for your project.
