How Do I Start a Claim for Exterior Roof, Siding, or Gutter Damage?
Do to the recent storms, our insurance claim staff have naturally been run off their feet with inquiries as to the process of filing a claim. Below is a step by step guide for filing a claim for damage to your home’s exterior.
Remember through the process that you are in control of who the roofing or siding contractors are that do the repair work.
If your home exterior has experienced significant hail damage the process to filing an insurance claim and getting your roof or siding repaired is quite easy in most instances.
1. Call your insurance company and inform them of the exterior damage to the roof, siding, gutters, fascia, soffit, etc.
2. If you have any concern with your insurance company or the process of filing a claim, contact the Insurance Bureau of Canada for guidance.
3. Your insurance company will dispatch someone to assess the damage to your roof or siding. This person typically is an estimator (inspector) or a roofer, depending on what the damage is.
4. Remember that the insurance companies are busy in a storm area. The hail claim process is quite simple but the volume of hail claims can inundate the insurance providers. Also, limited trades such as gutter installers, roofers, and siding repair installers can hold up claims.
5. While waiting for your insurance company and repairs to the storm damage you can as possible stop further damage from occurring by adding tarps to skylights or roofing etc. If you cannot get up on your roof or if it is unsafe, call a roof or siding contractor to help.
6. Be sure to take photos of the damage to roofing, skylights, soffit, fascia, flashing, siding, garage doors, house doors, windows, etc. Documentation of hail damage is important. Your siding or roofing contractor should be asked to provide a report if you request an inspection by them also.
7. Remember that you are in control or which roofing or siding contractor does the work. If you have a particular roofing contractor or sider that you prefer, be sure to contact them and have the contractor speak to the insurance company direct.
