Storm damage roofing in Rolling Hills
Most storm claims are lost on documentation, not on damage. Photograph everything before anybody touches the roof.
Or call (424) 462-0286Describe the storm damage job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Rolling Hills contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Rolling Hills and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a storm damage job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Photographs of the damage before any work happens
- A local address you could actually drive to
- What the emergency tarp costs, separate from the repair
- A written scope you can put in front of an adjuster
- Whether the contractor is licensed and insured in this state
Keep every receipt, including the tarp and the emergency call-out. Reasonable measures to prevent further damage are usually recoverable, and usually forgotten.
Photograph the outside, the inside, and the date. Then get a tarp on it. An adjuster can work with photographs of the original damage; they cannot work with your description of what it looked like before the repair.
A local contractor who inspects and documents properly is more use to your claim than a fast one who is already on the roof.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: the marine layer keeping the north slope damp. Nothing dramatic happens. A slope stays damp most mornings for thirty years, and eventually that is enough.
About storm damage here
How quickly will someone call?
Usually within the hour during working hours. If you marked the job as an emergency it goes to the front of the queue and is normally picked up faster than that.
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
Contractors have to give us their state licence number and proof of liability and workers compensation cover before they can receive requests. You should still ask to see current certificates yourself before work starts — a licence can lapse between checks.
What happens to my information?
Your details are passed to up to three local roofing contractors so they can quote. That is the only use. You can ask us to delete them at any time, and there is a do-not-sell page for exactly that.
Do you handle commercial buildings?
We do. It is a different set of contractors — commercial and low-slope work is a separate trade from residential re-roofing — so answering the property question accurately matters.
What is it going to cost?
Three questions, about a minute, and up to three Rolling Hills contractors come back to you.
