You file an insurance claim, hoping it will cover the necessary repairs.
However, upon inspection, you realize that the damage is more extensive than initially anticipated.
Frustration sets in, and you think about the possibilities. One, you just pay the difference yourself. Whether you’re a homeowner or a roofing contractor, that’s a cost you didn’t anticipate – and a cost you shouldn’t have to pay.
The other route is to go back to the insurance company and ask for the appropriate amount of money to cover the project. This process, called supplementing a roof claim, can be intimidating.
Is it as easy as sending them a note with what’s wrong? Do you need another inspector to come out? If you find yourself wondering just how on earth to navigate the supplementing process effectively, you’re not the only one.
