You’ll be prepared to restore your roof as soon as possible if you know what to do in such a situation. Additionally, you should learn how a professional roof replacement expert can help you repair your storm-damaged roof.

Assess the Damage
Damage caused by storms can be difficult to detect, especially if it’s hidden or too small. The first thing you should do after a storm is to check for visible damage. Take pictures of the damage before contacting your insurance company to file a claim. These images are frequently used to assist the insurance adjuster in assessing the damage. Several parts of your home are particularly vulnerable to storm damage.
Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
When your roof has been damaged by a hurricane, calling a skilled roofing company is one of the most important things you can do. Your roofer will advise you on whether to file a claim based on your policy’s deductible and the extent of the damage. Several contractors offer a free roof assessment, pointing out damaged areas and providing an estimate.
Keep in mind that it is critical to engage only with reputable local roofers when scheduling an inspection. Out-of-town roofers or storm chasers will likely turn up in your area and try to make a quick buck by offering huge discounts, demanding upfront money, and then either making substandard repairs or bolting before ever touching your roof.
File a Claim
In the event a professional roof inspection confirms your roof was damaged by the storm, you will need to file a claim with your insurance company. When you make a claim, your insurance company will likely send an adjuster to evaluate your roof.
If the adjuster claims that your roof doesn’t have any damage or the damage was due to a lack of maintenance rather than the storm, having a roofing contractor on your side to advocate for you would be beneficial. Upon approval of your claim, your insurance company will specify the amount of coverage you will receive. They will send you money for the roof repair or replacement, and you can pick any roofing company you like.
Hire a Reliable Roofing Contractor
Repairs must be completed as soon as possible. Inadequate restoration will cause more water damage to your house as well as potential health dangers to your family. Mold and mildew can start to grow whenever there is moisture in your home. Make sure to arrange immediate repairs to avoid further damage and health risks.
