Insurance Claim Process For Troy Homes
A roof insurance claim in Troy follows the same path every time. Knowing the stages, and who is responsible for each one, is the difference between a claim that pays for the roof and one that stalls at a partial repair.

The Claim, Stage By Stage
- Stage 1: free inspection and documentation of the damage
- Stage 2: you file the claim with your carrier and get a claim number
- Stage 3: the adjuster inspects the roof, and we are there
- Stage 4: the carrier issues its estimate and first payment (actual cash value)
- Stage 5: we file supplements for missed items and code requirements
- Stage 6: the work is completed, usually in one to two days
- Stage 7: the final invoice releases the recoverable depreciation
