As a property owner dealing with
potential damages to your property, the first step is to get a clear
understanding of whether or not your property has been impacted. Choose Roofing Professionals of Texas to examine
your property.
1. You
should have your property inspected by an insured, state registered contractor
BEFORE you call your insurance company to adjust the property. After a major
storm the insurance company is going to be flooded by claims. By having your
property looked at by contractor who specializes in storm damage, you and the
insurance claims adjuster will know that the damage is legitimate. Claims
adjusters are very busy after a storm. They have very limited time to inspect
each property, a preinspection helps the adjuster move quicker and get to their
next appointment on time. A storm restoration professional should be on site to
assist the adjuster in locating all the visible damage. This helps property
owners get their repairs faster, because your property won’t be subject to time
consuming reinspections when undocumented damage is discovered.
2. Remember
that all roofers are not the same. Although many claim to be storm damage experts, there are few who are willing
to make the commitment to become true specialist. There are many unique factors
that are involved in storm restoration work. One of the most important is being
able to identify what hail, and wind damage looks like. This sounds simple, but
storm damages can look like many different things. Hail damage for instance can
look JUST LIKE nail pops, mechanical damages, or algae or moss that has fallen
off. It takes a trained eye and sense of touch to understand the differences in
different types of damages. Along with an understanding of damages, the person
inspecting your property needs to understand your states insurance regulations,
building codes and the requirements and guidelines of your insurance company
for your specific area of the country. Many people are unaware that insurance
companies have different coverage guidelines in different areas of the country.
Combining knowledge of these regulations, along with the knowledge of exteriors
construction is what allows for an accurate accounting of damages. This
accounting is an integral piece in making your property whole again while using
the proper tools, and materials in as short a time as possible.
Once a trained roofing
professional has inspected your property, you now have the necessary
information to move forward with confidence. With the unquestionable knowledge,
experience, and expertise of UASRC contractors, you can be confident in the
information and advice you receive and therefore be confident in the decisions
you make regarding your property.
