Storm damage photos and insurance repair scope in Troy, MI
After a storm hits your Troy home, a clear record of the roof is the most useful thing you can have. A free inspection gives you photos of the damage and a written repair scope, and you keep both.
Your insurance company decides what's covered. Having the facts in hand makes that conversation clearer.
What you get from us
Every storm inspection gives you two things: photos and a written scope.
Photos of your roof
Each problem area is photographed, from missing or lifted shingles to damage at the flashing, vents, valleys and pipe boots. These are pictures of your roof, not samples from someone else's house.
A written repair scope
The scope says what we recommend, repair or replacement, and what the work involves. It's written in plain words, so you can read it, share it and ask questions about it.
If a repair turns out to be the answer, here's how roof repair in Troy works.
What we won't predict
Coverage and claim approval aren't ours to predict, so you won't hear guesses about either. Those decisions belong to your insurer.
What you will hear is what's on the roof and what it takes to fix it.
How to check any roofer after a storm
Ask any roofer, us included, for photos of the damage on your own roof and a written scope before work starts. Be careful with anyone who promises your claim will be approved, because only your insurer decides that.
Here are a few more questions to ask at the door:
- Are you licensed and insured?
- Where is your business based?
- Can I see the photos first?
Our answers: yes, licensed and insured; based in Sterling Heights since 2011; and yes, the photos always come first. You can hold us to that.
Questions about storm repair in Troy
How do I spot a roofing scammer?
Watch for pressure to sign on the spot, promises that your claim will be approved, and anyone who won't show you photos of your own roof. A legitimate contractor puts the scope in writing before work starts. Ask whether they're licensed and insured, and where they're based.
Why do I keep getting calls about roof inspections?
After a storm, roofing companies often call homeowners or knock on doors looking for work. Some are legitimate and some aren't. A free inspection is only worth something if it comes with real photos of your roof and a written scope.
What should I say to a roof insurance adjuster?
Stick to the facts: when the storm hit, what you noticed and when, and what you've done since. If you have photos and a written scope, share them. If you're not sure what your policy covers, ask the adjuster or your agent directly.
Can I see the photos before I agree to anything?
Yes. You get the photos and the written scope first, and nothing is scheduled until you've looked them over and decided.
Do I need a new roof just because a storm hit?
Not necessarily. If a repair will handle the damage, the scope will say so, and you won't be told the roof needs replacing.
