    1. Assess damage

    To begin, you should visually inspect the damage to your roof (from the ground) and make sure the damage was caused by a storm. Check to see if there are any issues such as missing shingles, hail, or tree damage. It is also important for you to inspect your attic and ceilings to ensure there is not any leaking, even if you do not notice any damage to the outside of you roof. You will want to contact a CT roofing company to inspect your roof since they will notice potential problems that you may not.

    2. Contact your insurance provider

    If you and your roofing company do notice damage, it is time for you to contact your provider to report the problem and begin the insurance claim process. It is important to do this as soon as possible. Also, you do not want more damage to occur while waiting for this process. Contact a licensed roofer to repair or tarp your damage until the roof insurance claim has gone through. Guaranteed Roofing will do this free of charge, contact us to find out how. 

    3. Claim assessment

    Next, your insurance company will likely send a representative to your home to assess the damage. The point of this is for the insurance company to determine if there is damage and whether or not your policy will cover it. You may want to contact a roofing company to get a second opinion of this. 

    4. Wait for the claim outcome

    Once all inspections and documents have been submitted, you should hear back from your insurance provider regarding your roof insurance claim. Be sure to keep in contact with them to ensure this is done in a timely manner. Our roofing company is happy to assist you with this process and ensure you get a fair settlement.
