With Hurricane season still in full swing, chances are we will get hit with at least another bad storm this year. It is important to know if your homeowner’s insurance covers issues like these. If a tree falls onto your roof during a storm, your homeowner’s insurance policy WILL cover the repair of your roof as well as some, if not all, of the cost of tree removal. However, had the tree not hit your roof, your insurance may not cover any of the tree removal charges. In this post, Gregg S. Marcus, a Long Island Insurance Executive, explains what steps to take after a tree falls on your home’s roof during a storm.
ROOF DAMAGE
The first thing you need to do is contact the insurance company to report the damage. You should do this right away! Many insurance providers have 24/7 claims hotlines; so don’t hesitate to call them at any hour to let them know about any storm damage. The insurance company will want to send an adjuster out to your property to conduct an inspection, but you should also keep a record of the damage by taking pictures and/or videotaping the relevant area of your home.
