Common Reasons Claims Are Denied

And how we help you avoid these pitfalls

โš ๏ธ

Wear and Tear

Insurance covers sudden storm damage, not gradual deterioration from age. Insurers often claim damage is pre-existing.

โœ“ How We Help:

We document the specific storm event and prove the damage is new and storm-related, not pre-existing deterioration.

โš ๏ธ

Lack of Maintenance

Insurers may claim you didn't maintain your roof properly, which caused or worsened the damage.

โœ“ How We Help:

We show evidence that proper maintenance was performed and the damage resulted from the covered event, not neglect.

โš ๏ธ

Insufficient Documentation

Claims are denied when homeowners don't provide enough evidence or detailed photos of the damage.

โœ“ How We Help:

We create comprehensive documentation packages with professional photos, measurements, and technical reports.

โš ๏ธ

Missed Deadlines

Insurance policies have strict deadlines for reporting damage and filing claims after a storm event.

โœ“ How We Help:

We help you act quickly to meet all deadlines and ensure your claim is filed properly and on time.

Insurance Claims FAQs

Common questions about roof insurance claims

Will filing a claim raise my insurance rates?โ–ผ
In South Carolina, insurers cannot raise your rates solely for filing a weather-related claim. However, multiple claims over several years may affect your rates. We help ensure you only file when necessary and the damage is significant enough to warrant a claim.
Should I pay my deductible upfront?โ–ผ
Your deductible is typically subtracted from your claim payout by the insurance company. You don't pay us the deductible - you pay us the claim amount minus your deductible after the insurer issues payment. We never ask you to pay your deductible upfront.
How long does the claims process take?โ–ผ
Most claims are resolved within 2-4 weeks if documentation is complete. However, after major storms affecting many homes, the process may take longer due to high adjuster workload. We stay on top of your claim to keep things moving.
What if my claim is denied?โ–ผ
You have the right to appeal. We help you gather additional evidence, request a re-inspection, or work with a public adjuster if needed. Many initially denied claims are approved on appeal with proper documentation.
Do I have to use my insurance company's preferred contractor?โ–ผ
No. You have the right to choose any licensed contractor. Insurance companies may have "preferred" contractors, but you're not required to use them. We work with all major insurance companies.
What if the insurance estimate is lower than your estimate?โ–ผ
This is common. We provide detailed line-item estimates using Xactimate software (the same system insurers use) and meet with adjusters to negotiate fair pricing that covers all necessary repairs to code.
