- Don’t call your insurance company claim department immediately. It may well be that there is little or no damage to your roof. A call to your insurance company initiates a claim and sets things in motion that may not be reversable. Have your roof and other parts of your property checked out by a professional like The Jack Caton Roofing team. If there is no damage, we are happy to tell you and if the damage can be repaired for less than your deductible you will save money and a claim on your record.
- Don’t call your insurance agent. They can’t help and will generally tell you to call the company claim department.
- Don’t get on the roof to see if you can determine if there is damage. Gravity and inertia are unforgiving. We climb on roofs and inspect homes for various kinds of damage just about every day and our inspections are FREE. Please don’t risk your health. Go to jackcatonroofing.com or call The Jack Caton Roofing Team at 719-776-0087.
- Don’t put it off. Even if you know you have damage and plan on waiting to see if there will be another damaging hail storm have us inspect your roof. You need to know and it’s helpful to have some documentation regarding the condition of your roof. When The Jack Caton Roofing Team does and inspection we provide you with a full report including photos identifying the damage along with specific recommendations about what to do next. This is especially true if you are selling your home, the home inspection has been completed with no roofing issues. The sales contract is clear about things like this and you do have an obligation to determine if there is damage to the roof and other parts of the house due to storm between the time of the inspection and the scheduled closing.
