We guide you through every step, so nothing gets missed. Here's what to expect at every stage.
From first call to final payment. Here's exactly what happens and when.
Our certified inspector evaluates your roof for storm damage, no cost, no obligation. We document every damaged item with drone and close-up photos. Before your adjuster ever arrives.
If damage is found, we provide a complete documentation packet to support your claim. You file it directly with your insurer. We arm you with everything you need.
We meet your insurance adjuster on-site to ensure nothing is missed. This is the most important step. We're on the roof with your adjuster, pointing out every missed item. Nothing gets glossed over.
Most homeowners pay only their deductible. On an approved claim, insurance typically pays the rest.
Once approved, we schedule your build and order materials. Once your scope is approved, we lock in the build date and order your materials. Most jobs start within 2–3 weeks of approval.
Professional installation. Most roofs completed in a single day. Most Northeast Ohio roofs are done in a single day. Our crew arrives by 7am and cleans up with a magnetic nail sweep before they leave.
We inspect the finished work with you and handle any punch-list items. Your PM walks the finished job with you. Any punch-list items are handled before we leave.
We help you collect recoverable depreciation so you pay the minimum out of pocket. After the build, we submit the completion documentation to your carrier. They release the recoverable depreciation. Typically within 2–4 weeks.
Your adjuster arrives prepared, because we do the groundwork first.
Every damaged area documented from the air and at arm's length. Your carrier can't dispute what they can see.
A detailed line-item scope matching Xactimate standards. Same format your adjuster uses.
We cite the Ohio Building Code requirements that may apply to your repair. Drip edge, ice dam protection, ventilation.
Most homeowners only pay their deductible. Here's how it works.
The full cost to replace your roof with like-kind materials. This is what your claim is ultimately worth.
RCV minus depreciation. This is your initial check from the insurance company.
Your out-of-pocket responsibility. Typically $1,000–$2,500. This is the only amount you truly "pay."
In most cases, your insurance covers everything except the deductible. We help you recover the depreciation after the job is complete.
