Claims for Storm Damaged Roofs

Most insurance companies will have time limit guidelines on how long you can wait to file a claim for repairs or replacement. Make sure you are aware of these limits so you do not miss out on your claim.

Inspect Your Roof for Damage After a Major Storm

To get ahead of the process, you can perform a few safe inspections before the roofing contractor arrives. Check for visible damage such as leaks or cracks. If there is apparent visible damage, document it with photographs. Never walk onto a roof after a storm; leave this to a professional. Even if the roof looks fine from your quick inspection, you should still contact your roofing contractor. Roof damage arrives in many forms, and it is vital to rely on a proper inspection.

What Type of Roof Damage Should You Look For?

Minor damage can include leaks, cracks, and water damage. Heavy winds can blow shingles and other coverings off of your roof. Hail damage can consist of dents or cracks, which may seem innocent but can cause significant future damage if not addressed. Considerable roof damage will be apparent. This type of damage will most likely occur after substantial weather, such as major hailstorms.

Any damage, no matter how small, should be documented excessively. Take pictures and videos if possible, and have our contractors and inspectors document the damage as well.

Roofing Insurance Claim FAQ’s

After the initial realization that you will need your insurance company to assist with roof replacement or repairs, you will most likely have many questions.

The process typically goes as follows:

A claims adjuster associated with your insurance company will perform an inspection of your roof. PRQ will also inspect the roof to give an unbiased estimate of the repairs.
After the official inspection, the claim (how much repairs or replacement will cost) will be sent to your insurance company.
Next, your insurance company will send you a check to help pay for the repairs or replacement. The deductible and depreciation amount are often deducted from this check.
Our team of experienced roofing contractors perform repair or replacement.
After work is completed, we send an invoice to the insurance company, and the insurance company sends you the depreciation amount if it was withheld.

l

Note: The property owner must pay the deductible for an insurance policy; it can’t be discounted or rebated by any contractor. A Colorado law explicitly outlines the procedures for insurance deductibles for property restoration. The 2012 Colorado State Senate Bill (12-038) states, “Prohibiting roofing contractors from paying, waiving, rebating, or promising to pay, waive, or rebate all or part of any insurance deductible applicable to an insurance claim made to the property owner’s property and casualty insurer for payment for roofing work.”

What Type of Inspection is Required?

One of PRQ’s trusted contractors will inspect your roof, but your insurance company will want to send out one of their claims adjusters to document the damage as well. The insurance company will want to make sure the suggested repairs are necessary. Your insurance company will only pay for repairs or replacements that they deem necessary. To make sure your roof gets repaired as best as possible, make sure everyone involved in the process, including the claims adjuster and your contractor, documents the damages thoroughly. Your check to pay for repairs or replacements will be sent to you after the claims adjuster certifies the necessary procedures.

Why Did My Insurance Company Withhold Depreciation?

Insurance companies will sometimes withhold the depreciation amount to make sure you use the given money on the roof repairs rather than keeping most of it for yourself. You will get the depreciation money back after you prove that you paid for your roof repairs. An insurance company will require an invoice from the roofing contractors as proof.

Insurance companies refer to the value your roof would be without the damage as AV or actual value. The cost to replace the roof is called RV, or the replacement value.

How Much Will I Have to Pay Out of Pocket?

The only money coming out of your pocket should be your insurance deductible. The deductible is the money the insurance company requires you to pay before they cover the remaining costs. The deductible will be paid directly to your contractor to perform repairs. You should be aware of your deductible before any damage occurs. It is essential to read through the insurance policies before deciding to work with an insurance company. If the deductible is too high, you may want to consider switching insurance companies.

“PRQ was great to work with. I almost didn’t have them even inspect my roof because despite clear hail damage on my window screens another roofer said they didn’t see any shingle damage. PQR inspected and brought the photos to show me and my insurance company. Then they did the work of coordinating with my insurance company. Unlike some companies they didn’t claim that they could rebate my deductible, but they did commit to doing the work and ensuring my cost was only my deductible. They have lived up to that commitment. They also coordinated the removal and reinstalling of my solar panels, including expediting the roof inspection with the city to get my panels back on and producing. I highly recommend PRQ.“

Joe G., Denver, CO (Google Review – February 2021)

“These guys were great to work with. They were referred to us by our insurance and they were able to move quickly AND handle the insurance side (our initial payout was maybe 25% of what it should have been, and Jim +team got us all the rest). Great communications and friendly team to work with. Definitely will refer to friends and family.“

Lindsay W., Colorado (Google Review – January 2021)

“I highly recommend PRQ Exteriors for any roof repairs or replacement needs. We had hail damage to our 19 year old roof. Ryon Dudley and his team at PRQ performed an inspection, documented the hail damage and worked with our Insurance carrier from start to finish to ensure a hassle-free roof replacement. They asked for 0 $ up front, took care of the necessary paperwork throughout the transaction and did a great job removing the old roof material and installing new storm resistant shingles. To my surprise they were able to do all the physical work in 1 day. Thanks to Ryon and PRQ team.“

Colorado Guitar Works, Broomfield, CO (Online Review – November 2020)

“We were denied 2 times by our insurance company so a neighbor recommended Patrick with PRQ. He had to hire an independent adjuster since our insurance would not cooperate. Within days we were approved for a new roof. Within one week our new roof was installed and we received a Premium Discount on our policy since the roof was a better roof than our last. I have recommended PRQ to several neighbors and I would hire him again in a second. They are very professional and completed everything they said they would do in a expedient manner.“

Julie M., Golden, CO (Facebook Review – August 2017)

“PRQ Exteriors (Derek and Pat) was extremely professional and helpful in assisting with interfacing with the insurance company when filing our claim. As a project, they managed the installation of new shingles, skylights, fascia painting, and gutter replacements and accomplished it all within one week. All of their subcontractors were on time, efficient and courteous. We are very pleased with the end result which looks great.“

David G., Colorado (Better Business Bureau Review – Sepember 2019)

“A neighbor recommended PRQ based on his good experience with them. I used them as a contractor to deal with July 2019 hail damage. They handled the roof replacement, solar panel deinstall and reinstall, gutter replacement and are working with me on window replacement. Work was done accurately and efficiently, and they took great care of coordinating the subcontractors. Alex was great to work with. I’d use them again and I recommend them.“

Randy B., Colorado (Better Business Bureau Review – January 2020)

“Ryon and the entire PRQ crew were amazing to work with, all of Ryon’s commitments were on time, he walked us through the entire process and coordinated everything with our insurance company too! Great experience from start to finish and we LOVE our new roof! Highly recommend Ryon and PRQ for your roofing needs!“

Andrea B., Greater Denver Area, CO (Google Review – 2020)
