Should You File an Insurance Claim?

Hail and wind damage constitute an insurable loss. This loss is one that your insurance carrier is required to cover. It is your insurance carrier’s fiscal and legal obligation to return your property to the condition it was prior to the loss.

Most insurance companies have a one-year limitation to file a claim. Storms producing winds that exceed 50 mph are very common in the Midwest. A new roof protects the investment of the insurance company. Your insurance company does not want to pay for further interior damage if it can avoid it.

Midwestern storms will damage your roof and it is nearly impossible to see the damage from the ground. Granules are what protect your shingles from being exposed to the sun’s UV rays. Hail hits will cause granules to break down, leading to roof leaks and further damage. Also, high winds blow shingles loose, which means they will never re-seal. This will also cause your roof to leak.

If there is no significant damage on your roof to justify filing an insurance claim, we will let you know. This is our policy. We do not advise homeowners to file a claim on marginal damage. If there is substantial damage, we will advise you. When we are certain there is a sufficient amount of hail hits, bruises, dimples, missing shingles or creased shingles on your roof, we then are confident the insurance company will pay to replace your roof, less the cost of your deductible.
