Storms have been making a daily appearance since school has started back in Georgia! On top of making sure your kids arrive to school with everything in tip top shape, have you inspected your roof after the recent heavy wind, rain and hail? Recently we discussed the types of storm damage that can affect a homeowner's roof. Today on the blog, we will discuss the steps to take if you suspect you have storm damage to your roof.

1. Choose Local

If you think you have roof damage after a storm, the next step is to contact a local trusted roofing company to provide a storm damage inspection. A local roofing company has professional and personal relationships within a local residential area to uphold and maintain. The roofing contractor has a professional and relational image to maintain with their customers and their personal community. It's important that the owner and team, but also the actual production crew is local to the area as they will take more pride in replacing their neighbors roof.

2. Storm Damage Inspection

When you make the appointment with a local roofing company, make sure you indicate the appointment is for storm damage due to the complex nature of this process. This information can help with the accuracy and speed to move forward with the claim process.

At Peach State Roofing we provide unique storm reports using drones and artificial intelligence that help the roof inspector along with the desk adjuster to make an accurate assessment of your roof and potential storm damage.

3. Xactimate Estimate

We also provide Xactimate estimates with industry specific files that can be sent directly to the insurance carrier for review. Xactimate Estimates are industry specific that insurance companies use to process a homeowner's claim. This makes a potentially overwhelmed Adjuster much happier dealing with your roof and home. A professional local company will provide a detailed report of the storm damaged roof to you, the homeowner.

4. Contact Insurance Provider

After you receive the detailed inspection of your roof, contact the insurance provider and file a claim with the detailed report of your roof inspection as well as the storm date and type of roof damage.

5. Follow Up with Filed Claim

After your claim is filed, continue to follow up with your local roofing company. Keep communication open with the roofing contractor with the date and time of appointment that an insurance adjuster will inspect your roof for damage. When all three parties are involved, this helps the claims process stay detailed, run smoothly and ensures a thorough process from start to finish.
