Insurance Claim Questions Answered
Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?
It depends on your policy and the cause of damage. Storm damage from a covered event is typically covered. Normal wear and tear is not. The same applies to whether your claim funds a roof repair or a full replacement. Not sure what your policy covers? We will inspect your roof for free.
Does insurance cover hail damage to my roof?
Typically yes, if the damage is documented and tied to a specific storm event. Hail shows up as bruising or fractures in shingles. Wind shows up as missing or lifted shingles. Both qualify when documented properly. The strength of the claim depends on the documentation. We handle it.
What is the roof insurance claim process?
Six steps: free roof inspection, damage assessment with photos, claim filing with the insurance company, adjuster coordination on site, supplements and appeals if the claim is short or denied, quality installation once approved. We handle every step. (See our process above.)
What happens if my roof insurance claim is denied?
A denial is not the final answer. It usually means the documentation was not strong enough or the claim was not filed correctly. We file supplemental documentation. We appeal. We have done this for over 20 years. Send us your denial letter and we will tell you honestly what your options look like.
Do I need a roof inspection for an insurance claim?
Yes. A professional inspection with documented evidence is essential for a successful claim. Adjusters need photos, measurements, and a damage report tied to a specific event. We provide free roof inspections. We come out, document everything, and you keep the report whether you file with us or not.
Should I use my insurance company's preferred contractor?
You have the right to choose your own contractor. A preferred contractor works under contract with the insurance carrier. An independent contractor like Wells Built works for you. The structural difference matters when there is disagreement about scope or price.
How long does a roof insurance claim take?
A straightforward claim typically runs 2 to 6 weeks from filing to approval. Most residential installations take 1 to 2 days. Denials, supplements, and appeals extend the timeline. We will give you an honest estimate once we have inspected the roof.
