Storm Guard of Columbus
A roof insurance claim typically begins when a homeowner contacts their insurance provider after storm damage. From there, an adjuster is assigned to evaluate the damage and determine what is covered under the policy.
While every policy is different, most adjusters look for visible signs of weather-related damage, such as:
Storm Guard’s team doesn’t determine coverage. That’s always between you and your insurance provider. Instead, our team focuses on providing accurate roofing assessments and clear documentation that helps you understand the condition of your roof before you make repair decisions.

Most insurance policies cover sudden and accidental damage caused by weather events such as hail, wind, lightning, or falling debris. Damage from age, neglect, or poor maintenance is typically not included. Always review your individual policy for details.
That depends on the extent of the damage and your policy's terms. If the storm damage is significant and covered, your insurer may authorize a full replacement. In other cases, coverage may apply only to specific repairs.
Most insurance providers ask that you report potential storm damage as soon as possible—often within 30 to 60 days of the event. Prompt reporting helps ensure your claim is reviewed correctly and that any damage is documented before it worsens.
Not necessarily. Claims caused by uncontrollable events like hail or high winds don’t always lead to higher premiums. However, frequent claims or those tied to maintenance issues may have an effect. It’s best to confirm details directly with your insurance provider.
If you believe something was missed, you can request a reinspection or provide additional documentation. Storm Guard can supply an independent roofing inspection and visual evidence for your records, which may help clarify your roof’s condition.
We recommend scheduling a professional inspection as soon as it’s safe. Quick inspections help identify potential leaks or structural damage early, preventing further problems.
