When your roof is devastated by a storm, it is
essential to act fast – here is what you should do:
-
Damage assessment – the first
thing to do in the case of any kind of roof damage is the evaluation of the situation.
The best way is to call TAG General Contractors to do it for you – roofing experts know
how to identify and how to document even the smallest damage in a way that is
in compliance with the requirements of your insurer as well;
-
Damage mitigation and repair –
starting the repair work as soon as possible is also essential, but first you
need to get the damaged roof area covered in foil to prevent further damage in
case a second storm comes and you also need a detailed roof repair cost
estimate to know what kind of costs you are faced with and to include into your
insurance claim;
-
Inform your insurer and submit
the claims file – each insurer has specific rules about how and when
compensation claims can be submitted. Check your home insurance policy to see
what is covered and what is not, then put together the claims file and submit
it based on the procedures used by your insurer.
