One of the first things homeowners do when dealing with roof storm damage is to file a roof insurance claim. Unfortunately, not all roof claims are approved. And sometimes, even if they are approved, they may be underpaid.
Homeowner’s insurance is sorted into different policies that cover named perils. Roof damage caused by a storm and fire are usually included in the named perils, but your insurance policy must specify its coverage within the contract’s terms and conditions. Otherwise, your insurance claim might get denied.
