We suggest having your roof inspected every year, and each time after a major storm event, such as a hurricane. Many parts of your roof deteriorate over time with temperature changes between seasons and may need attention sooner than later. A free inspection and yearly roof maintenance are worth the peace of mind to not have to worry about leaks.
Not every roof leak is serious enough to file an insurance claim. Roof leaks can be caused by improper installation and other factors that only need to be repaired. The only way to really determine the problem is to call and schedule a FREE roof inspection or fill out the “Contact Form” so a representative from HORIZON can evaluate everything.
An insurance claims specialist from HORIZON will perform a thorough inspection of your roof and/or property to determine if an insurance claim is necessary. Since all insurance carriers have different guidelines when it comes to storm damage, it is important to determine whether or not filing a claim is worth your time.
The main answer here is preventative maintenance. If your roof is near the end of its service life and you know it will need to be replaced sooner than later, it may be in your best interest to go ahead and get it replaced to prevent future leaks or major issues that could occur as a result of waiting; not to mention the curb appeal and value that a new roof will bring to your home. A new roof can be an excellent investment with an attractive return. The National Association of REALTORS indicate that a new roof can return 105% of the value of the project upon selling your home.
YES! Any inspection or estimate from HORIZON is 100% FREE of CHARGE!
HORIZON is NOT a storm chaser as we ONLY do work in the Carolinas. With offices in both Charlotte and Raleigh we are able to service the entire state of NC and most of SC.
Reviewing your claim allows your roofer to help you get all of your money from your insurance company. Your roofer wants to get paid and so do you. Allowing your roofer access to your insurance claim gives them the ability to submit a final invoice that matches the claim amount and get your money to you more quickly. This also ensures that any “recoverable depreciation” the insurance company initially held back from you is fully recovered and paid in full. Another reason to allow your roofer to look at your paperwork is in case your insurance adjuster left off items that need to be paid for by the insurance company as part of your claim. If your roofer finds certain items are missing, they can “supplement” for additional money from your insurance.
Yes, you definitely should! With a lot of contractors sub-contracting out all of their work these days, it is important to protect yourself as a homeowner and always request a “Certificate of Insurance” (COI) from whomever you choose to work on your home.
