When a storm hits, your roof is often the first line of defense against the elements. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most vulnerable parts of your home. Storm damage can leave your roof compromised, leading to further issues if not addressed promptly. At SkyDeck Roofing and Construction, we understand the stress and urgency that comes with storm damage. This blog post will guide you through the process of storm restoration and working with your insurance to get your roof replaced.
Understanding Storm Damage
Storm damage can take many forms, from hail and wind damage to fallen debris. After a storm, you might notice missing or damaged shingles, dents, or punctures. It's essential to identify these signs early to prevent more extensive damage to your home.
The Importance of a Professional Inspection
While it might be tempting to inspect the damage yourself, a professional inspection ensures no detail is overlooked. At SkyDeck Roofing, we offer free inspections and tarp placement for damaged areas. Our experienced team can assess the extent of the damage accurately and provide a comprehensive report for your insurance claim.
Insurance Policies and Coverage
Understanding your insurance policy is crucial when dealing with storm damage. Policies vary, but they generally fall into two categories: Actual Cash Value (ACV) and Replacement Cost Value (RCV). ACV policies cover the depreciated value of your roof, while RCV policies cover the full cost of replacing it. Knowing what your policy covers can help you navigate the claims process more effectively.
Steps to Take After a Storm
Safety First: Ensure the safety of your family and property. Avoid going on the roof yourself.
Document the Damage: Take photos and videos of all visible damage. This documentation will be vital for your insurance claim.
Contact Your Insurance Company: Report the damage and start the claim process as soon as possible.
Schedule a Professional Inspection: Contact SkyDeck Roofing for a thorough inspection and damage assessment.
Working with Your Insurance Company
Communicating effectively with your insurance company is key to a successful claim. Here are some tips:
Be Prompt and Detailed: Provide all necessary information and documentation quickly.
Stay Organized: Keep all correspondence and documents related to your claim.
Utilize Your Contractor: SkyDeck Roofing can help communicate with your insurance adjuster, ensuring they understand the full extent of the damage.
At SkyDeck Roofing, we assist with the insurance process, making sure you get the most out of your coverage.

This includes verifying measurements, checking the list of materials, and confirming all necessary repairs are included. This thorough review helps prevent any surprises and ensures the restoration process goes smoothly.
