It’s every homeowner’s worst fear. The National Weather
Service issues a warning for severe weather in your area. You and your family
ride out the storm safe from harm, thank goodness, but soon after you notice
the dreaded drip, drip, drip. Your first move is probably to place assorted
cooking pots and bowls around the house to collect the rainwater before it
ruins your floorboards, carpeting and furniture, but what do you do next? Contact
the insurance company where you bought your homeowners policy as soon as
possible. Your insurance company will typically send out an insurance assessor
to evaluate the damage and determine if your roof needs to be replaced or
merely repaired and if your homeowners’ policy will cover the work. If the
storm damage is covered by your insurance, they will usually request that you
obtain some price quotes from qualified roofing repair contractors in regards
to how much the work will cost. You may need to contact up to three different
roofing specialists. Once this is done, you will review the quotes and decide
which company has made the best offer. You then call the contractor of your
choice, and they will proceed with repairing or replacing your damaged roof as
needed. Upon completion of this work, your insurance company will pay the bill.
