Step 1: Call V Star Roofing
Setup a Free Inspection Appointment. We will examine, evaluate and document all damages to your property. After the inspection, the contractor will determine whether it is advisable to make a claim.
File a Claim
Contact your Insurance Company through their claims department. Inform them that your property has sustained damage and give them the type of damage (hail, wind, etc.) and the DATE OF LOSS.
At this time, let them know that a professional from V Star Roofing has examined the property and who that contractor is. Your insurance company will give you a Claim Number at this time, write this number down and provide it to your contractor for reference.
Insurance Adjuster Meeting
An Insurance Adjuster will Contact You within 48 hours of making a claim to schedule an appointment at your property. Inform them of the contractor you have selected and that you would like V Star Roofing to be present for the inspection. Confirm with V Star Roofing the date when your insurance adjuster will be out for the inspection so we can meet them during the inspection. We will discuss damages to your roof and type of work needed to take place with the insurance adjuster. This includes all measurements, pricing and any code upgrade requirements necessary to bring your property back to its original condition before the storm.
Insurance Summary
The Insurance Company will send you a Loss Summary Report containing the list of damages and the proceeds associated. Along with the summary will be your first installment check called an ACV (actual cash value payment). It is important to review this with your V Star Roofing Contact to ensure that it’s complete and accurate. At this time, you will determine repairs to be made and products to be installed.
