Insurance Claims

We Understand Exterior Storm Damage and Insurance Claim’s.


We Work On Your Behalf.

Safety First! Before entering a building or getting on its roof, check for structural damage. Don’t enter or get on a roof if there is any chance of the building collapsing. Be careful walking around. Upon entering the building, do not use open flames, since gas may be trapped inside. Instead, use your flashlight to light your way. Keep power off until an electrician has inspected your system for safety. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing.


The Insurance Repair Process:

• Call your insurance company. If possible have your policy number and the date and time of your loss.
• Make sure to tell them where you can be reached, especially if you are unable to stay in your home or business.
