What to Do
If You Have Storm Damage
So the weather has passed, and you think your roof may have suffered damage. What do you do next? Knowing what steps to take can be the difference between a total nightmare and a less daunting experience. This checklist will get you off to a great start.
Initial Inspection
Inspect your property. Are there any missing shingles, damaged gutters, or other signs of debris hitting your home? Take note of any destruction you find.
Documentation
Document—with pictures—any damage that has occurred. This is essential when it comes to protecting yourself during the insurance process.
Professional Inspection
After you have completed the visual analysis and documentation process, it’s time to schedule a roofing inspection from a reputable roofing company like Anchor Roofing.
File Your Claim
The final step is to file an insurance claim.
