FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WIND DAMAGE CLAIMS

How to know if I should file a wind claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
Most advisably, you have damages validated BEFORE notifying your insurer to avoid a frivolous claim. There are no fixed rules on what is sure to cause the damage. For instance, damage can even result from gusts of 60 mph and 1-inch hail based on the surface affected by it.

How many shingles need to be missing for insurance?

keyboard_arrow_down
Insurance policies tend to cover the use of like-kind roofing materials. Should your roof shingles have been discontinued and be unavailable anymore, the insurer will be responsible for replacing every shingle on your roofing system even if there is only one missing shingle.

Will a wind damage claim increase my premiums?

keyboard_arrow_down
Usually, an “act of God” insurance claim will not raise your premium. But on the other hand, even if you do not turn in an insurance claim or are not affected by a big catastrophic storm, the rate will likely increase because many other people file claims.

What to do if I have a partially denied claim or a claim denial?

In this case, you are recommended to get Four Elements Adjusters to review the claim and offer a secondary coverage opinion.

How to know if a public adjuster is necessary on my wind damage claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
Insurers tend to require thorough estimates written in a specialized piece of software. Also, unfortunately, many commercial property owners have a partially denied claim. Mastering Xactimate and having extensive insurance experience, Four Elements Adjusters make sure to close your claims professionally, promptly, fairly, and with reduced stress.

What if my insurer does not pay Overhead and Profit on my hail damage claim?

keyboard_arrow_down
O & P (Overhead and profit) is a portion of your contractor bill. Sometimes, insurance companies do not pay this on the claim’s roofing portion because they consider it already part of the Xactimate estimate. Should your insurer not pay, there are ways to negotiate this lack of agreement. For details, do contact us.
