Frequently Asked Questions

The insurance company will not re-insure items of the home not repaired.  Meaning if the same area suffers damage later the insurance company will not authorize payment due to the item not being repaired in the last claim.  Often there are follow-up inspections done to make sure the property was repaired to specifications.

In order to get full payment from the insurance company someone has to submit paperwork indicating that the deductible has been paid.

Simply put, Overhead and Profit allows roofing contractors or companies to add 20% to the total price of a roofing project to cover expenses. This total amounts for 10% of overhead and 10% of profit, netting a total of 20% to be paid by a homeowner’s insurance. We may request this from your insurance company if your claim is complex.
