Insurance Claim Basics - We like to keep it simple.

Filing a claim doesn’t have to be traumatic!  And being aware of what to expect can make all the difference. The following is a step-by-step guide to filing a claim and being confident that your home is restored to its original state.

The following is an ideal order for a claim submitted to your insurance company:

1. The Incident: Hail, wind, or physical damage occurs to your home.


2. Report Damage: Contact your insurance agent. If the storm was wide spread, there will most likely already be adjusters in your area.


3. Make an Appointment: An insurance adjuster will usually call you and schedule an appointment to come to your property for an assessment within 24 - 48 hours.


4. Call Peak to Peak: A good option is to have a contractor there to meet with the adjuster. This creates accountability on both sides having an insurance expert there along with a construction expert. It can also drastically simplify the claims process and allow for repairs to begin much sooner.


5. Make a List: Meanwhile, make a list of damages that you see when walking around your home.
Things to look for include:
Dents in gutters,
Fascia and metal around windows
Broken flowerpots and damage to lawn furniture
As a good rule of thumb, if there is damage to your car, then there is damage to your roof. A great way for you to do a preliminary assessment of your roof damage without going on it is to look for roof granules in your gutter after a rain.


6. Be There: Make certain that you are available during your appointment.


7. Get the Estimate: A Statement of Loss will be written up by the adjuster and agreed to by Peak to Peak. The adjuster will either leave you this statement of loss or you will receive it in the mail in a few days. The statement of loss serves to itemize your losses and the estimated cost of repair. This shows what work the insurance company is willing to fund to restore your property back to its original condition before the storm.  

***Note: If the contractor is not present at time of adjuster inspection, there may be some items missing from the Statement of Loss.  This would result in the need for supplementation to capture full scope of work. For this reason, we highly recommend having your contractor present for your appointment with the adjuster to avoid misunderstandings and to speed up the restoration of your home.


8. The Work is Completed: The job is done by a licensed, insured contractor and the insurance claim is closed out. We are committed to doing our part in the most timely manner possible so that you can move on with your life. Our average project turnover is 7-10 business days from the time the contract is signed.
