How Does Insurance Settlement Work For Roofing Claims?

It’s not every day that we need to file an insurance claim with our homeowner’s insurance company to get a roof covered. Most people aren’t sure how insurance settlement works until they cross that bridge. The whole process can be a bit intimidating and time-consuming if you’re not sure what to expect. Eclipse Roofing has experience in helping local KC residents get new roofs covered in a timely and efficient fashion.

Help! A Storm Wrecked My Kansas City Roof!

If you suspect hail or wind damaged your roof, you should call a roof inspector to evaluate the situation. Since these no-obligation quotes are always free, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Having a professional opinion on your side is always a bonus when negotiating with an insurer.

Once you have a roofer’s assessment in hand, you should then call your insurance carrier’s claims office. The claim handler will assign a claim number and adjuster to your case. Be sure to keep all this information for your own records. Sometimes insurers ask you to get three different estimates from local KC roofers.

Get A Fair Insurance Settlement

The adjuster will schedule an appointment to come out and take a look at your roof. Inform your adjuster that you will have a roofing contractor present at the meeting (to serve as your advocate). Insurers, by nature, are looking to keep their costs down and  may not necessarily have your best interests at heart.

Once the adjuster has a look at your roof, he or she will provide a detailed summary of the repairs needed. In some cases, this may mean a whole new roof needs to be put on. The roofing contractor will compare this information to be sure no important details have been omitted. Any discrepancies will be negotiated with Eclipse Roofing’s insurance liaison on your behalf to ensure you get a fair deal.

Get Funding & Get Going

The initial check usually arrives with the claim summary. Sometimes additional paperwork is required by your mortgage company — a process which can take up to 10 days. Keep in mind, you will still be responsible to pay your deductible, whatever that may be. The total cost of the roof replacement will be covered by: the first insurance check, your out-of-pocket deductible, the amount of depreciation withheld by the insurance company, and any necessary supplements.  Once the roof has been completed, we will contact the insurance company to make sure any depreciation withheld is released and all the money promised by the insurer has been collected.

Our roofing contractors in Kansas City MO Offers free estimates.

Roofing contractors in Kansas City MO can seem like a dime a dozen. Our city, in particular, has a high need for roofers due to the high winds and hail storms causing damage to area housing structures. Yet, the powerful storms also attract a number of opportunists who set up shop here, but may not necessarily be qualified or very good at roofing.

Here are a few of the factors that make Eclipse Roofing a good choice for your next job:

1. GAF/ELK Master Elite Certification

To become a factory-certified GAF Master Elite™ roofing contractor, we had to show that we are:

  • Fully licensed by the state of MO to perform roofing work.
  • Adequately insured for your protection
  • Have a proven reputation for quality service in our community
  • Are fully committed to ongoing professional training.

Did you know that only 3 PERCENT of roofing contractors have qualified as a “Master Elite” contractor?!

2. Exceptional Customer Service

We have not received a single complaint, which is why we have been given the Angie’s List “Super Service” award for 6 consecutive years — since Angie’s List first started giving out the award, in fact! As a small local company, we truly put our clients first. The vast majority of our business comes from personal referrals.

3. High Quality Materials

The best roofing companies do not try to under-bid competitors by using sub-par materials. We believe in doing a quality job RIGHT the first time. We guarantee our workmanship for 5 years, in addition to the manufacturer’s warranty. D.I.Y. jobs may be cheaper, but they also void the warranty — which can be 25 to 50 years on some types of roofing materials. We work with top-of-the-line shingle manufacturers like CertainTeed and GAF/ELK to bring you reliable products that will not fail!
