Question 1

How do I know if my roof has hail or wind damage?

Accepted Answer

Storm damage is not always obvious from the ground. Hail can damage shingles without creating an immediate leak, while strong winds can lift, crease, loosen, or remove shingles. A professional roof inspection can identify potential storm-related damage.

Question 2

Should I have my roof inspected after a major storm?

Accepted Answer

If your area experienced significant hail, high winds, or severe weather, having the roof inspected is a good precaution. Finding damage early can prevent minor problems from becoming larger leaks or repairs.

Question 3

Can Indiana Roof & Home help with insurance-related roof damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work with homeowners whose properties have experienced wind, hail, and other storm damage. We can inspect the property, document visible damage, explain the repair or replacement scope, and work with you through the construction portion of the claim.

Question 4

Should I call my insurance company before having my roof inspected?

Accepted Answer

You do not necessarily need to file a claim before knowing whether damage exists. Many homeowners prefer to have the roof inspected first so they have a better understanding of its condition before deciding whether to contact their insurance company.

Question 5

Will you meet with my insurance adjuster?

Accepted Answer

When appropriate, we can be present during the adjuster's inspection to help identify and document areas of damage and answer construction-related questions about the property.

Question 6

Does a roofing contractor decide whether my insurance company will approve my claim?

Accepted Answer

No. The insurance carrier determines coverage according to your policy. Our role is to inspect the property, document the condition and damage we observe, and provide an accurate scope for the roofing or exterior work that is needed.

Question 7

What should I do if shingles blow off my roof?

Accepted Answer

Contact us as soon as possible. Missing shingles can expose the roofing system to water intrusion. Depending on the situation, the area may need a temporary repair followed by a permanent repair or replacement.
