Understanding the Homeowners Insurance Claim Process
If a storm hits Parkville and Kansas City and you feel your home has incurred damage, below are the steps to follow to file a claim and receive insurance money to repair or replace damages to your home:
Contact a competent roofing company to request an inspection. Reputable roofing companies will not charge for this service. Be sure the individual completing the inspection has experience working directly with insurance adjusters on storm related matters.
If the roofing company identifies damage on your roof or gutter system, request a written estimate to complete the repairs.
Insurance Claim Process:
- The prudent “rule of thumb” is to only file a claim with your insurance agent if the total of the repair estimate(s) exceeds twice [2 times] your policy deductible.
- The claims department should contact you by telephone or through the mail.
- An adjuster will be assigned to inspect and evaluate the loss.
- The claims adjuster will provide you with a detailed and itemized explanation of your preliminary claim settlement including your deductible amount and any depreciation.
- Most homeowner policies grant coverage for full replacement cost provided the repairs are actually completed. In these cases, the depreciation is considered recoverable, and the final payment is made after your final receipts have been submitted and processed. (AKA you might not receive a check for the full amount initially; they will hold back money until you’ve completed the work to repair the damage.)
- Once you get the estimate from your claims adjuster, call Parkville and Kansas City’s Christian Brothers Roofing to review, compare inspection reports and handle negotiations on your behalf.
Top 6 Things to Know About Your Home Insurance Claim
If EMERGENCY or TEMPORARY REPAIRS are needed:
If needed, your insurance agent can authorize any temporary repairs to prevent further damage to your property. Your insurance company will require receipts for any emergency repairs you have completed so they can reimburse you for those expenses.
We suggest that you take pictures of the damage prior to completing any repairs.
Do not make any permanent repairs until the adjuster has had the opportunity to inspect the damaged area.
