Akron’s Trusted Source for Storm Damage Repair Services

Yes. Storm damage is accidental rather than intentional. That means the damage will be covered if that type of damage is covered in your home insurance policy.

In rare situations, an insurance company may deny storm damage repair claims if you willfully neglect maintenance or repair needs, such as replacing a roof beyond its life expectancy or if improper installations or DIY work was identified as the cause of damage.

For most cases, though, storm damage will be classified as accidental and not the homeowner’s fault.

In most cases, homeowners should be able to file a claim for storm damage with their insurance company. This process starts with a claim filed over the phone or online. After the claim is filed, an adjuster will visit your home to inspect the damage.

After the adjuster has finished their review, you will find out whether your claim is approved or denied. If denied, you may be able to dispute this conclusion and seek out compensation.

If approved, you can find a roofing company to perform your home’s required repairs.

It sounds simple, but storm damage is any damage determined to be caused by severe weather. Insurance adjusters and roofing professionals can often tell, upon inspection, whether roof damage was caused by extreme weather elements such as hail and wind or occurred for a different reason.

Ultimately, insurance will determine whether the damage qualifies as storm damage to approve or reject your claim.
