Submit Your Hail Damage Claim To The Insurance Company

Contact your insurance agent to report the hail damage with the policy number and date of damage ready (the date the storm occurred). Your insurance specialist will guide you through the process and provide vital information, such as assigning a claim number to your case.

The Insurance Adjuster meeting

The adjuster assigned to your claim will contact you and schedule an appointment to assess the wind or hail damage of your home. Contact us immediately to have one of our project managers meet with you and the adjuster in order to represent you and make sure all proper damage and repairs are properly examined and documented. We will take photos and document everything. Our team of inspectors has plenty of experience meeting with insurance adjusters.

Review your claim report

Your insurance company will provide you with an itemized document report of all the damage areas found and the necessary repairs required the adjuster made note of during the inspection. Your insurance will also be providing one payment in the form of a check to begin the damage repairs or replacement process. Customers should keep in mind the first check amount will be for the repairs minus the depreciation and deductible amounts and will most likely be for less than expected

Authorized Work On Hail Restoration Can Begin

Once all items have been cleared and completed with your insurance company, we determine if the itemized repairs or replacements are in accordance with your home and to your best benefit. We can authorize repairs, sign the project contract and do begin the repair or replacement process right away.

Project Completion

Upon completion of the project(and making sure you are satisfied!) we send the final invoice to your insurance company for the depreciated amount that was withheld from the first check payment. The insurance will then release the second check payment to cover the remaining cost of the work that was performed. Final payment is then due to Oscar Roofing upon receipt of the second check. If there are any questions, do ask! We always explain the process in great detail and want to make sure there are no questions left unanswered.
