Insurance Coverage for Your Roof

Will Your Homeowners Insurance Cover Wind and Hail Damage on Your Roof?

Homeowners insurance should serve as a vital safety net, offering financial protection against unforeseen events that may damage your home. Numerous potential hazards, such as wind and hail, stand out as common culprits capable of wreaking havoc on your property. At James Russell Roofing and Restorations, LLC, we deeply understand the anxiety and uncertainty that often accompany such damage. Rest assured, our dedicated team is committed to supporting you as you confidently navigate the intricate process of your insurance claims, providing guidance every step of the way.

Understanding Your Coverage

Many standard homeowner’s insurance policies cover wind and hail damage. However, the details can vary depending on your policy and location. It’s important to review your policy documents or speak with your insurance agent to understand the extent of your coverage. Here are some key points to consider:

  • Coverage Limits:  Your policy will probably have a maximum limit on the amount it will pay for covered damages. We recommend you ensure this limit is enough to cover potential repair or replacement costs.

  • Deductibles: A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage begins. This can be a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of your home’s insured wind or hail damage value.

  • Exclusions: Some insurance policies may not cover certain types of wind or hail damage, or they may have specific conditions to be met for the damage to be covered. At James Russell Roofing and Restorations, LLC, we advise you to always carefully read the fine print of your insurance policy to understand any exclusions.

Steps to Take After Wind or Hail Damage

If the roof on your home has been damaged in a storm by wind and hail, we recommend following these steps to ensure a potentially smooth claims process:

  • Document the Damage: Remember to take photos and videos of the damage as soon as it’s safe. At James Russell Roofing and Restorations, LLC, we’re happy to take these photos and send them to your insurance. This could be more beneficial since we know exactly the type of damage your insurance company is looking for when filing the claim.
  • Temporary Repairs: We can currently perform temporary repairs to prevent further damage and make your home livable. These repairs may include covering broken windows or holes in the roof. We will cover the cost of these temporary repairs and include them in your claim. Your insurance company should reimburse these costs.
  • Contact Your Insurance Company: Please notify your insurance provider as soon as possible. Provide them with the documentation we have obtained and details of the damage. We have years of experience dealing with insurance companies and would be happy to help you speak to your insurance company to help them understand your exact issues.
  • Get an Inspection: When you file a claim, your insurance company will most likely send an adjuster to evaluate the damage. It is highly recommended that you and one of our team members be present during the inspection to ensure that all the affected areas are accurately identified and documented.
  • Choose a Reputable Contractor: Work with James Russell Roofing and Restorations, LLC’s trusted and experienced roofing and restoration team to obtain a detailed estimate for the required repairs. We have experience working with numerous insurance companies and always strive to ensure that no details are missed and every repair is covered.
