    Understanding Your Denial

    Why Roof Insurance Claims Get Denied

    Insurance companies deny claims for many reasons, but most can be challenged with the right documentation and expertise.

    Pre-Existing Damage

    They claim the damage was already there before the storm. A second opinion with better documentation often proves otherwise.

    Missed Filing Deadline

    Ohio has specific filing windows after a storm. If your deadline hasn't passed, we can help you file correctly.

    Insufficient Documentation

    The adjuster's photos weren't detailed enough to show the full extent of damage. Our drone + close-up documentation changes that.

    Wear and Tear Classification

    They call legitimate storm damage 'normal aging.' We know the difference and can prove it with proper documentation.

    Policy Exclusion

    A coverage gap they didn't explain upfront. We review your denial letter and identify whether the exclusion actually applies.

    Matching Dispute

    Ohio law (OAC 3901-1-54) requires insurers to pay for matching materials when partial replacement creates a visible mismatch on the same roof plane. This is one of the most commonly ignored coverage requirements.

    Who in the world does that? Cornerstone does.

    Showed up at 6:15 am, done by 2:15 PM. Same day. Not one nail left behind. As I walked around I noticed they had even painted the vent stacks to match. A++ in my book!

    All we did was make a claim. Cornerstone handled everything.

    We had wind damage and all we had to do was call our insurance. Every phone call, every email, down to the silliest questions. Knowledgeable and professional from start to finish.

    An absolutely amazing job on our complete exterior. Roof, gutters, and siding. They coordinated everything from the insurance claim to materials, and treated us with patience the whole way.

    "Cornerstone is a very professional company with excellent work ethics. They really care about providing excellent service and doing a quality job. They arrived on time and spent a great deal of time providing protection for my house and plants/flowers. The workers were friendly and responsive to any of my questions. The job was done in a day and their clean up after the work was done was very detailed and complete. They have been back to my house to check on their work and to make sure I was satisfied. Any concerns/questions I had were addressed immediately. I have had numerous compliments on my new roof from friends and neighbors. I would definately recommend Cornerstobe Roofing."

    "Hands down the easiest insurance roof claim experience I've ever had! With his experience and expertise, the owner himself made the entire insurance experience a complete breeze. After that the rest of his team stepped it up and made the scheduling and completion of work happen so smoothly — they had the job completed with a bow on top by the time I even thought to call for an update! There's no doubt about it, I'll be calling Cornerstone Roofing and Siding for any future needs."

    "We had a fantastic experience working with Cornerstone Roofing and Camen. He handled everything from start to finish — helping us replace our roof, filing the claim with our insurance company, and working diligently to get everything approved. Camen was extremely thorough, and his support staff was excellent. Even the roofing crew did a great job, showing skill and professionalism throughout the project. We're very happy with the new roof and also love the new gutters they installed."
