Signs Your Roof May Have Storm Damage
Missing or Displaced Shingles
Areas where shingles have blown off or been displaced are clear indications of wind damage.
Granule Loss
Check gutters and downspouts for accumulation of granules, which indicates shingle deterioration from hail or severe weather.
Dents or Divots
Small circular impressions on shingles, vents, or gutters are telltale signs of hail impact damage.
Water Stains on Ceilings
Interior water stains or discoloration on ceilings and walls may indicate roof leaks from storm damage.
Damaged Flashing
Lifted, bent, or missing flashing around roof penetrations, chimneys, and skylights can lead to leaks.
Insurance Claims FAQ
Will filing an insurance claim raise my premium?
In most cases, claims for damage caused by severe weather events or 'acts of God' should not result in premium increases, as these events are considered outside of your control. However, insurance regulations vary by state and provider. We can help you understand your specific policy terms before you decide to file a claim.
What types of roof damage are typically covered by insurance?
Most homeowner's insurance policies cover roof damage caused by fire, wind, hail, fallen trees, and other sudden, accidental events. Damage from normal wear and tear, aging, or lack of maintenance is typically not covered. Our team can help determine if your damage is likely to be covered before you file a claim.
How long do I have to file a claim after storm damage?
Most insurance companies require you to report damage within a specific timeframe, typically ranging from 30 days to one year after the damage occurs. However, it's always best to file as soon as possible. Waiting too long can make it harder to prove the damage was caused by a specific storm event and may give your insurance company grounds to deny the claim.
What if my insurance company denies my claim?
If your claim is denied, we can help you understand the reasons and determine if an appeal is appropriate. This may involve requesting a re-inspection with a different adjuster, providing additional documentation of damage, or working with a public adjuster to support your case. Many initially denied claims are later approved with proper advocacy and documentation.
Do I have to pay my deductible?
Yes, you are legally obligated to pay your insurance deductible. Any contractor who offers to 'waive' or 'absorb' your deductible is likely committing insurance fraud, which is illegal and could potentially void your insurance coverage. We work with financing options to help make your deductible more manageable if needed.
Success Stories
"After my insurance initially denied my claim, Skyline stepped in and got it approved within a week. Their team knew exactly what to look for and how to document it properly. I ended up with a beautiful new roof with minimal out-of-pocket expense."

"The insurance process was completely overwhelming until Skyline took over. They handled everything from documentation to meeting with my adjuster. What I thought would be a partial coverage turned into a complete roof replacement with only my deductible out of pocket."
Jennifer L.

"After a major hailstorm, several contractors knocked on my door, but Skyline was the only one who took the time to explain the insurance process in detail. Their professionalism throughout the claim and repair process was outstanding. I couldn't be happier with the results."
