File Claims Better with a Sacramento Roofing Contractor

The Yancey Family, Serving Sacramento Since 1888

Filing roofing claims can be a nightmare – both in terms of paperwork and the bureaucracy you may have to go through. If only a roofing job were not so expensive, we have no doubt most homeowners will prefer to skip filing and just pay out in cash. Fortunately, there is a way to file claims better. Read this guide from the Sacramento roofing contractors at Yancey Home Improvements to learn more!

Ask a Sacramento roofing contractor to confirm the cause and nature of the damage.
When you ask for a Sacramento roof inspection, ask your roofing contractor to explicitly state the cause and nature of the damage in their report. Get at least three inspections stating the same. You can show these estimates to the insurance adjuster when he comes over. These inspection reports will lend strength to your claim.
Have a contractor present when the adjuster comes.
If you have chosen a contractor to do your roof, request if he can come over when the adjuster visits. This way, they can compare notes on the damages on your roof. If your insurance company has a network of roofing contractors in Sacramento, hiring one of them will improve your chances of getting the most for your claim dollars.
Get multiple estimates.
Different insurers have varying coverage policies when it comes to roofing. If you are unsure how much your insurer pays out for roofing jobs, it’s best to get multiple estimates from your roofer. Consider low-end, medium, and high-end estimates. This way, you have several options depending on the pay-out your insurer will agree to.

“I need a total bathroom remodel, and everyone at Yancey has been a delight to work with. All my questions have been answered, the choices of materials were abundant, and Scott guided us expertly through the process one step at a time. I would highly recommend them!”

Laura Powell

“Yancey was awesome to work with. My estimator was Brian Speaks, and he made the entire experience simple and enjoyable for us. There was no high pressure sales, and Brian went out of his way to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and needed. His pricing was fair, and he helped us get financing right on the spot. If I would provide more than 5 stars, I would.”

Ryan Calderwood

“Tommy was very helpful in explaining the roofing process and itemizing the pricing. He was upfront and honest about policy and interpreting the contract for my mother and I. We are a house full of women and we are always worried about being taken advantage of price-wise but we were not treated that way. Thank you for the excellent service and stunning new roof!”

Caroline H

“I chose Yancey for my reroof because of their business longevity. They've run into every situation imaginable and Brian addressed these concerns in the contract. Being told in advance is an explanation, being told after the fact is an excuse. They gave no excuses. The team working was always on time and did exceptional quality work with dry rot repair. The roof looks great and I expect it to work well for years to come.”
