Common questions
What should I tell the roofer?
Describe where you see water, when it happens and the roof type if you know it. If you can, note which rooms are affected and whether leaks follow wind from one direction.
Should I file an insurance claim for storm damage?
Document the damage with photos and contact your insurer. A roofer can provide a written assessment. Keep the photos with the date and time, and save any receipts for emergency tarps or temporary repairs.
