Insurance adjuster coming for hail damage? Get what you're owed.
For homeowners in Independence, KY facing hail damage: a roofer who handles the insurance adjuster for you.
You spotted dents in your shingles after that last storm hit Independence. Now the insurance adjuster is scheduled. You're afraid they'll call it cosmetic and deny the new roof your house on KY 17 really needs.
Hail stones pelt your roof and knock off the tiny rocks that protect the shingles. Those bare spots soak up water and start to crack. You might see dark spots, dents in metal vents, or granules in your gutters. That is real damage, not just wear and tear. In Independence, spring and summer storms bring hail that often goes unnoticed until a leak appears.
A full roof replacement in Independence usually runs between $8,000 and $15,000. The size of your roof and the materials you choose affect the final number. Insurance covers it if the adjuster agrees the hail damage is severe enough. The process from inspection to approval can take two to four weeks. Some policies only pay for a patch, but a good roofer can show why full replacement is needed.
Before the adjuster walks your roof, have a roofer who understands insurance claims do their own inspection. TruRoof will meet the adjuster with you, point out every damaged shingle, and make sure the report matches what your policy covers. Do not let the adjuster inspect alone. Do not sign any paperwork from the insurance company until you have a second opinion from a roofer who has your back.
You get a new roof that keeps your family dry through the next Independence hailstorm. No patch job that leaks in six months. No fighting with the insurance company on your own. Just a solid roof overhead and the peace that comes with knowing it was done right.
What people in Independence say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."
