How to handle a roof claim here

  1. Get a free inspection with photos before you call your carrier, so you know whether there is a covered loss.

  3. Report the claim promptly and keep the claim number.
  4. Have your roofer at the adjuster inspection with their own documentation.
  5. Compare the estimate line by line and supplement what was missed.
  6. After the work, send the final invoice to release recoverable depreciation.
