A roof insurance claim checklist: make the property safe, document damage, review your policy, report the claim, secure emergency repairs, meet the adjuster with your contractor, review the scope in writing, and keep final photos. Do it in this order and nothing important gets missed.

Step by Step

  1. Make everyone safe. Stay off the roof.
  2. Photograph damage inside and out.
  3. Find your policy and check your deductible.
  4. Report the claim to your insurer and record the claim number.
  5. Tarp openings and keep receipts.
  6. Get a free Roof X estimate and photo report.
  7. Meet the adjuster on the roof with your contractor.
  8. Review the adjuster scope in writing and compare with ours.
  9. Ask about supplements if hidden damage turns up.
  10. Approve the repair, keep final photos and warranty paperwork.

Questions to Ask Your Insurer

  • What is my deductible for this storm?
  • Is my roof paid at replacement cost or actual cash value?
  • What documentation do you need from me?
  • What are the deadlines?

Questions

Roof Claim Checklist: Common Questions

Something else on your mind? Call (813) 590-1124 and talk to a real person.

What is the first thing to do after roof damage?

Stay safe, then document and report. If water is coming in, tarp it.

Do I need three estimates?

You are not required to get three. Compare in writing if you want.

Can I choose my own contractor?

Yes. Your insurer cannot force you to use a particular roofer.

What if costs go above the adjuster’s scope?

Ask about a supplement. We document hidden damage with photos.
