How We Help You Navigate Insurance After a Storm
August 4, 2025

From Inspection to Approval, We’re With You Every Step of the Way

If a recent storm left your roof with damage, your first call might be to your insurance company—but your second call should be to a roofer you trust.

Why? Because the insurance process can be confusing, time-sensitive, and overwhelming—especially if it’s your first time dealing with it. At Watertight Roofing, we don’t just fix roofs—we walk alongside homeowners across Nebraska and Iowa to make sure the insurance side goes as smoothly as the repairs.

Here’s how we help take the stress out of storm damage claims and advocate for you every step of the way.

✅ Step 1: We Start With a Free, No-Contact Roof Inspection

Once a storm hits, the clock starts ticking on your claim window. We’ll:

  • Inspect your roof safely and thoroughly
  • Document everything we find with detailed photos
  • Identify storm-specific damage like hail bruising, lifted shingles, or impact cracks
  • Give you a clear summary of what’s going on

💡 Bonus: This also gives you a record of your roof’s condition before your adjuster visits—super helpful for your claim.

✅ Step 2: We Help You Understand Your Coverage

Home insurance policies can be complicated. We’ll walk you through:

  • What kind of damage is usually covered
  • How your deductible works
  • What to ask your adjuster
  • Timelines for filing and completing work

You don’t need to figure it all out alone—we’ve read plenty of fine print so you don’t have to.

✅ Step 3: We Work Directly With Your Insurance Adjuster

This is one of the biggest benefits of working with Watertight Roofing.

We’ll:

  • Be on-site during the adjuster’s visit
  • Point out damage that may be missed
  • Advocate for the repairs or full replacement you actually need
  • Help provide supplemental documentation if something was overlooked

Our job is to protect your home and your investment, and that includes helping you get the coverage you deserve.

✅ Step 4: We Handle the Repairs or Replacement—Quickly & Professionally

Once your claim is approved, we get to work:

  • We use high-quality, storm-rated materials
  • Most roof replacements are completed in a day
  • Our crew leaves your yard clean, safe, and spotless
  • We honor all workmanship and manufacturer warranties

Need emergency tarping or temporary protection while you wait on your claim? We’ve got that covered too.

🧾 What About Supplemental Claims?

Sometimes, your insurance company might miss a few items the first time around. No problem—we’ll submit what’s called a supplemental claim with documentation to back it up. We’ll keep communication flowing with your insurance company until the job is 100% complete.
