However, many policies require you to submit your claim within 14 days of the storm. This means you should schedule a professional inspection immediately following an extreme weather event. Even if your roof appears fine, it might have hidden damage, which could manifest weeks or months later. If this occurs, you could end up having to cover the repair costs. If you don&#8217;t know if your homeowner&#8217;s insurance has a storm damage claim deadline,\u00a0call them and ask.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maintaining your roof matters.\u00a0<\/strong>Your insurer might turn down your claim if they discover that you&#8217;ve neglected your roof. If they learn that the damage resulted from poor maintenance, they&#8217;re less likely to cover repair or replacement costs. This is just one of the many reasons to take proper care of your roof.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You don\u2019t have to accept the first offer.<\/strong>\u00a0You don\u2019t need to settle on your adjuster\u2019s first offer, especially if it\u2019s not a reasonable amount. To get an idea about how much it will cost to restore your roof to its original state, obtain estimates from reliable contractors. Fortunately, many roofers offer free estimates and inspections. When you know how much the repair or replacement is likely to cost, you have a better chance of getting a fair payout.
