Insurance Claims
Storm damage is stressful enough. We document everything, meet with your adjuster, fight for full coverage, and handle the repairs — so you don't have to navigate the insurance maze alone.
*Most homeowners pay only their deductible when the claim is approved.
The Reality
They'll minimize damage, delay payments, and deny valid claims. You need someone in your corner who knows the game — and knows your roof.
Adjusters often miss damage or undervalue repairs. Without a professional inspection report, you won't know what you're owed.
Insurance companies drag their feet. Meanwhile, a damaged roof leads to leaks, mold, and bigger problems. Speed matters.
Valid claims get denied every day. Without proper documentation and someone who knows the code requirements, you're fighting blind.
How It Works
We handle every step of the insurance claims process — you just point us at the damage.
We inspect your entire roof and exterior — shingles, flashing, gutters, siding, vents, skylights. No cost, no obligation. If there's no damage, we'll tell you honestly.
Every piece of damage gets photographed, annotated, and compiled into a professional report. This is the evidence your insurance company needs — and the ammunition for your claim.
We guide you through filing — or handle it directly with your insurance company. We know exactly what they need to see and how to present it so nothing gets overlooked.
We meet the insurance adjuster on your roof — in person. We walk them through every piece of damage, point out what they missed, and make sure the scope matches the real repair cost.
Once your claim is approved, we complete all repairs with the same quality and thoroughness we're known for. Lifetime workmanship warranty on everything we install.
Our Documentation
Insurance companies respect thorough documentation. Ours is built to meet — and exceed — what adjusters need to approve full coverage.
Every damaged area photographed close-up and wide-angle, with annotations showing exact location and type of damage.
A full-roof diagram marking every impact point, crack, crease, and missing component — the same format adjusters use internally.
We spec the exact materials needed and cite local building codes, so the adjuster can't downgrade your repair to a cheaper option.
When the initial payout falls short, we prepare and submit detailed supplements with additional evidence to close the gap.
What We Cover
From golf-ball hail to straight-line winds — we've seen it all and know exactly how to document and repair each type.
Bruised shingles, cracked vents, dented gutters, and fractured siding. Hail damage is often invisible from the ground — but it shortens your roof's life dramatically. We find every impact.
Lifted, creased, or missing shingles. Blown-off ridge caps. Damaged flashing. Wind damage exposes your roof deck to water and gets worse with every storm. We document the full scope.
Active leaks, water stains, attic moisture, and interior damage. When water is getting in, we respond fast — emergency tarping first, then full inspection and claims support.
The Adjuster Meeting
Most roofing companies hand you an estimate and wish you luck. We meet your insurance adjuster on-site, walk the roof together, and make sure every damaged component is accounted for.
We walk the adjuster through every impact, every crease, every missing piece — so nothing gets overlooked or undervalued.
We ensure the adjuster's scope matches current building code requirements and uses the correct materials — not a cheaper substitute.
If the initial estimate is short, we don't just accept it. We prepare detailed supplements with additional documentation to close the gap.
Know Your Rights
Your insurance company cannot force you to use their "preferred" contractor. You have the legal right to hire whoever you trust.
If the initial payout doesn't cover the full repair, you have the right to submit supplemental documentation for additional coverage.
A denial isn't the final word. You can request re-inspection, provide additional evidence, and escalate through your state's insurance department.
The more thorough and professional your damage report, the harder it is for an insurance company to underpay or deny your claim.
Why Divided Sky
Plenty of contractors can fix a roof. Very few know how to navigate the insurance process, maximize your claim, and get you the coverage you're owed. That's where we're different.
We've been through the process hundreds of times. We know how adjusters think, what they look for, and how to present documentation that gets approved.
We don't hand you an estimate and hope for the best. We're on the roof with the adjuster, walking them through every damaged component.
If there's no damage, we tell you. If the damage isn't worth a claim, we tell you that too. We don't manufacture claims — we fight for legitimate ones.
We don't just look at shingles. We document damage to gutters, siding, vents, screens, fencing — everything that's covered. Most homeowners leave money on the table.
When the first check falls short, we prepare professional supplements with additional evidence and line-item breakdowns to recover the full amount.
Every repair and replacement is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty. We don't just get you paid — we make your home better than before the storm.
What Homeowners Say
"Our insurance company initially denied our claim. Divided Sky came out, documented everything properly, and the claim was approved on re-inspection. They saved us thousands."
"They met with our adjuster and found $8,000 worth of damage the adjuster missed on the first pass. The supplement was approved within a week. Incredible service."
"I was overwhelmed by the whole insurance process. Divided Sky handled everything — I barely had to lift a finger. New roof looks amazing and I only paid my deductible."
FAQ
After any significant storm (hail, high winds, heavy rain), schedule a free inspection. Many types of storm damage — especially hail damage — are invisible from the ground. We'll inspect your entire roof and exterior and give you an honest assessment.
In Texas, insurance companies cannot raise your rates for filing a weather-related claim — it's considered an "Act of God." Your rates are based on the overall risk in your area, not individual weather claims. Filing a legitimate claim is your right as a policyholder.
Our inspection and claims assistance are completely free. If your claim is approved, you typically pay only your deductible — your insurance covers the rest. We work directly with your insurance company to ensure the full repair cost is covered.
Absolutely. Many claims are denied initially due to insufficient documentation or adjuster oversight. We can perform a new inspection, prepare comprehensive documentation, and help you request a re-inspection. In many cases, denied claims get approved on the second review with proper evidence.
From inspection to adjuster meeting typically takes 1–3 weeks, depending on your insurance company's scheduling. Once approved, we can usually start repairs within 1–2 weeks. The entire process from storm to completed repairs averages 4–8 weeks.
This is common — and it's exactly where our supplement process comes in. We prepare detailed additional documentation showing the gap between the approved amount and the actual repair cost, then submit it to your insurance company. Most supplements are approved within 1–2 weeks.
No. In Texas, you have the legal right to choose your own contractor. Insurance companies may suggest a "preferred vendor," but you are not obligated to use them. Choose a contractor you trust — one who works for you, not the insurance company.
