Storm Damage Repair FAQs
If your home has sustained damage in a storm, you likely have questions about how to move forward with repairs. Here are answers to common questions Northern Lights Exteriors receives about storm damage repair:
If you suspect a storm has damaged your home, you’d be wise to take action as soon as possible. However, instead of immediately calling your insurance carrier, call Northern Lights Exteriors first. We’ll promptly visit your home to perform a thorough storm damage inspection so we can identify the full extent of the storm damage that has occurred.
Our assessment will document all instances of damage—even difficult-to-detect issues, such as slightly dented shingles, that other insurance adjusters and other companies may overlook. This way, you can confirm that an insurance claim is the appropriate course of action and know the full extent of the damage before you begin interacting with your insurance carrier.
The timeline for storm damage repair projects varies widely. More than anything, your project’s turnaround time will depend on how quickly the insurance claim settlement process goes. Some claims are wrapped up almost immediately while others can take months to resolve. After your claim is settled, Northern Lights Exteriors will be ready to promptly carry out any restoration work that’s needed and approved. We’ll order the products that your project requires and install them once they arrive.
Yes, our team is highly knowledgeable about the insurance claims process and will gladly assist you with your claim. We’ll attend your meetings with your claims adjuster and can engage with your insurance carrier throughout the process on your behalf. Our insurance claims assistance will not only save you time, it will also help ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.
Keep in mind that insurance companies are generally looking to pay out the smallest amount possible to maximize their profits. So, if an adjuster is asking you to sign off on a claim amount as a final settlement for storm damage, make sure that you get a second opinion before signing. Northern Lights Exteriors is happy to provide any assistance you require during the insurance claims process.
