Unfortunately, storms can cause a lot of damage on roofs, so you should have a roof storm damage checklist to help you take the necessary steps after such a severe weather event.

1.       Contact a professional roofer

Contrary to popular belief, the first step after a storm damaged your roof is not contacting your insurance company. Call a professional Parker roof repair company instead that will secure the roof if necessary, conduct a roof inspection and offer you a written report on the damage and the necessary repairs. This report will prove to be essential in the process of making your insurance claim and the assistance of a professional roofer is invaluable.

2.       Take note of any roof storm damage

Documenting the damage and taking pictures is important to prove your insurer what happened.

3.       Look for old roof inspections and maintenance report that you received from professional roofing companies along the years

If you're not able to prove that you took care of your roof on a regular basis, your insurance may deny your claim and consider that the roof got damaged because you have ignored it for too long.

4.       Look for your insurance policy

Read it again and make sure you know what it covers and what are the conditions to get compensation.
