What you do in the first day after a storm can make or break your insurance claim. Here is a simple checklist.
Stay safe first
Never climb onto a storm-damaged roof yourself. Downed power lines and weakened decking make it dangerous. Assess from the ground.
Document everything
Take clear photos and video of all visible damage, inside and out, before anything is moved or cleaned up. This evidence is the backbone of your claim.
Prevent further damage
Cover broken windows and call a roofer for emergency tarping. Insurers expect you to limit additional damage, and keeping receipts for temporary repairs helps.
Call your insurer and a roofer
File your claim promptly and have an experienced roofer document the damage alongside the adjuster so nothing gets missed.
