WHERE HOMEOWNERS GET LEFT EXPOSED
WHAT INCOMPLETE CLAIM GUIDANCE CAN MISS
A contractor should never pressure you to file or promise an approval. The right support starts with evidence, clear communication and a full understanding of the exterior work—not a rushed signature.
- Telling a homeowner to file before confirming there is enough visible storm damage.
- Inspecting only the shingles while missing siding, gutters, metal, vents, flashing or window damage.
- Sending the homeowner to an adjuster meeting alone without organized photos or a clear repair scope.
- Accepting an incomplete scope without checking measurements, required accessories, code-related work or damaged exterior items.
- Using confusing promises about approval, coverage or a ‘free roof’ instead of setting honest expectations.
- Disappearing after approval and leaving the homeowner to coordinate paperwork, scheduling, trades, cleanup and warranty details.
