Guiding You Through the Roof Insurance Claim Process

Filing an insurance claim for storm-related roof damage can be overwhelming. At Sugar Land Roof Group, we connect homeowners with trusted, experienced roofing contractors who can assist with damage assessment, claim documentation, and roof replacement.

Important Disclaimer: Sugar Land Roof Group is not a public insurance adjuster and does not negotiate or settle insurance claims. However, the contractors we connect you with can meet with your insurance adjuster to ensure all necessary repairs are included in your estimate.

Step 1: Schedule a Roof Inspection & Get an Estimate

Before filing an insurance claim, it’s essential to confirm that your roof damage qualifies for coverage.

What to Expect from Your Roof Inspection:

A thorough inspection for storm damage caused by wind, hail, or heavy rains.
Detailed documentation of missing shingles, leaks, and structural damage.
A comprehensive report to support your insurance claim.

Step 2: Filing Your Insurance Claim

Once damage has been confirmed, the next step is to submit a claim to your insurance provider.

Key Steps for Filing a Claim:

Contact your insurance company’s claims department and report the damage.
Provide the following information:

Date and time of the storm event.
Your policy number.
Photos and inspection reports documenting the damage.

Obtain a claim number, which you will use throughout the process.

The roofing contractor we refer you to can help answer questions and review the repair estimates during this process.

Step 3: Insurance Adjuster Inspection

After filing your claim, your insurance company will assign an adjuster to inspect your roof.

✔ The adjuster should contact you within 48 hours to schedule an inspection.
✔ Once you receive an appointment, notify your roofing contractor so they can attend.

Why Should a Roofing Contractor Be Present?

Insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, which means they may not always account for all necessary repairs. A roofing contractor will:

Ensure all storm-related damage is properly documented.
Verify that the repair scope aligns with local building codes.
Advocate for any repairs that may have been overlooked.

Note: While the contractor can discuss repair needs, they cannot negotiate your claim.

Step 4: Reviewing Your Insurance Estimate

Once the adjuster completes their inspection, you will receive a Scope of Work detailing:

Approved repairs and costs.
Depreciation amounts (if applicable).
Your policy deductible.

Next Steps:

Provide your insurance estimate to your roofing contractor for review.
The contractor will confirm that all necessary repairs are included.
If any critical repairs are missing, the contractor can assist in requesting a supplement from your insurer.

Timeframe: Most insurance estimates arrive within 7-10 days of the adjuster’s inspection.

Step 5: Roof Replacement & Insurance Payment Process

Insurance payments for storm-related roof damage are typically issued in two parts:

First Payment: ACV (Actual Cash Value Payment)

This initial payment is released after claim approval.
It covers the depreciated value of your roof based on age and condition.

Roof Replacement Begins

Once your ACV payment is processed, the roofing contractor schedules your replacement.
You are responsible for paying your insurance deductible.

Second Payment: Depreciation & Final Invoice

If your policy includes Recoverable Depreciation, your insurance company will release an additional payment after the work is completed.
The contractor submits a final invoice to your insurer to ensure you receive all eligible funds.

Final Step: Once the final payment is received, you submit it to your roofing contractor.
