Roof Damage Insurance Claims
Roof Insurance Claims in Houston
With Houston’s harsh weather conditions, it’s inevitable that homeowners must often deal with the reality of the devastating damage storms can do. Wind, hail, debris, and trees can cause minor or severe damage if the conditions are right. If roof damage, in particular, goes unchecked, further water or structural damage can occur over time.
Lucky for some, there’s damage insurance to help fund repairs. However, the claims process is not always that simple. Beck Roofing & Restoration has helped countless Houston homeowners file insurance claims for roofing repairs. We’re industry experts that can help you solve your roofing issues and file successful claims. As roofing insurance can be quite complicated, let’s take a closer look at the process and how we can help.
The Process
Understanding the insurance claims process can help you improve the chances of a successful claim. The typical process that occurs when you file an insurance claim for storm damage is as follows:
1. ASSESS DAMAGE
- A self-inspection of the damage is a good first step, but bear in mind that you may not be able to spot all damage.
- Contact your local roofing contractor to further assess the damage as there is a good chance you as the homeowner won’t catch everything.
2. CONTACT INSURANCE PROVIDER
- Once damage is identified, contact your insurance company to report the issue and begin the claims process.
- Make sure to get in touch with your insurance provider as soon as you’re aware there is damage to your roof.
3. INSURANCE ASSESSMENT
- Your insurance provider will then send an individual to your home to assess in order to determine if there is damage and whether your insurance policy covers it.
- If you believe you’re being ripped off, make sure to contact a roofing repair company that can provide a second opinion on the damage.
4. FILE DOCUMENTATION
- Once you decide to repair the roof, you’ll have to file documentation that outlines the repairs required. This documentation should also outline the person who fixed it, as well as the cost associated with the repairs.
5. WAIT FOR THE OUTCOME
- Once you have filed all your documentation, you should hear back from the insurance provider in due course.
- If you experience a delay in the verdict on your claim, it’s important to ask your insurance company for additional clarity.
Insurance Claim Tips
On top of using the right roofing repair company, there are a few other things you can do to help ensure your roof damage claim is processed smoothly. Here’s how you can improve your chances of a successful claim.
Document Everything
Successful roofing insurance claims require extensive documentation. It’s important to take photos of damage, repairs, and anything else that you may think is relevant to your insurance claim. Don’t take roof damage insurance claims lightly.
Act Fast
As with any insurance claim, it’s essential to get in touch with your insurance company as quickly as possible. Timely filing is the best way to set the record straight and ensure they are aware that damage to your home has already occurred.
Have a repair team on standby
Besides helping to prevent further damage, a professional roof repair team can help you avoid further technical questions and requirements from your insurance company.

Erik and his team of professionals, set the gold standard for a company that earns a 5 star rating. I've never experienced such professionalism, punctuality, honesty, integrity, communication, and most importantly: exceptional work. … More Erik offered me advice based on honesty and taking care of the clients needs, rather than his bottom line. I have nothing but good things to say and will be using them again and recommending them to friends and family. Thanks for the awesome repair work!

Husband and wife team communicate well and update often with photos and videos of damage and repair. The final cost was close to the original estimate. The crew cleaned up everyday and they soft washed the front and back porches/decks, … More drive and walkways at the end. All areas of concern were repaired and the fresh paint/gutters make the house look 10 years younger!

I purchased a home that has a 20+ year old standing seam metal roof. I had a small leak coming from poor chimney flashing that needed to be repaired. I was having a hard time getting anyone to come out and look at it because it was such … More a small job. When I called Beck Roofing, they were very accommodating from the get go and also offered their service to do a full roof inspection while they were there.
Upon inspection, they noticed the ridge caps were installed with improper screws causing damage and rust on the panels. They gave me a bid to repair it correctly in order to preserve the life of the roof. It ended up being a much bigger job than originally anticipated yet they did not raise the original bid price once they uncovered other issues as they were removing the caps. This is so rare these days and frankly refreshing. They honored their bid! The crews were super, and the follow up by Erik and Sandy was amazing.
They also offer roof cleaning service as well.
I am so pleased how it all turned out and have no doubt this will extend the life another 25+ years. -
I am so very thankful to Eric and his crew. I had a leak in my ceiling that no one else could seem to find or fix. Eric came and found the problem right away and we quickly scheduled it for repairs. He and his crew was amazing and very … More respectful of my property even when I wasn't home.
From the first phone call with Sandy to the end of the job, everyone was so helpful and understanding.
Thank you all so much for a job well done. -
Everyone at Beck Roofing and Restoration has been amazing. They helped us mitigate and rebuild our house after we had many pipes bust in the freeze. They worked with us through every step of the process, help us custom build cabinets … More to be exactly what we wanted, and guided us though the decision making process. Then when it came time for our roof to be replaced, they took care of us once again. They took all the needed pictures for insurance documentation and supported us through the entire process twice. Brandy and Erik have been beyond amazing and we are so thankful for everything they have done to help us make this process easier and positive. We will definitely use them for any remodeling we do in the future. Thank you all so much!
