First, Stop the Water
After a storm, the first job is keeping water out. We offer same-day emergency roof repair: tarping, temporary sealing of open flashing and boarding up broken openings. Call (412) 498-4299.
Stay off the roof, keep clear of downed lines and report them to the utility, and move valuables away from leaks.
How to Document Storm Damage
Good records make the adjuster’s visit faster and clearer. Before anything is cleaned up or repaired permanently, capture:
- Wide shots of each side of the house, then close-ups of damaged shingles, ridge caps, flashing and vents
- Dents on gutters, downspouts, window wraps and siding (often the easiest hail evidence to see from the ground)
- Water stains, wet insulation or drips inside, with the date and time
- Fallen limbs and debris before they’re moved, if it’s safe
- Receipts for tarps, emergency repairs or temporary housing
- Your policy number, claim number and every conversation with your insurer, with dates
We add our own dated inspection photos, measurements and an itemized written estimate, and we give you copies to keep.
The Insurance Claim, Step by Step
1. Stop the Water
Same-day emergency roof repair: tarping, temporary sealing and board-up, photographed before and after.
2. Document the Damage
Dated photos of every slope, gutters, vents, siding and interior stains, with measurements and notes.
3. You File the Claim
Report the damage to your insurer promptly and write down your claim number and adjuster’s contact.
4. Meet the Adjuster
If you’d like, we’ll be there to walk the roof with the adjuster and point out what we found.
5. Review the Scope
We compare the insurer’s scope with our itemized estimate and explain any gaps so you can follow up.
6. Signed Contract & Repairs
Work begins only after you sign. Hidden damage found during tear-off is photographed for your insurer.
7. Final Walkthrough
We review the finished work with you and provide the paperwork your insurer or mortgage company asks for. We won’t leave your doorstep until you’re satisfied.
Meeting the Adjuster
Ask your insurer when the adjuster will visit and let us know; we’ll be there if you want us on site.
During the visit we walk the roof together, point out each damaged area we documented, and explain how the roof is built, including flashing, ventilation and decking, so nothing is overlooked.
We don’t negotiate on your behalf; in Pennsylvania that role belongs to you or a licensed public adjuster. We provide facts, photos and a clear scope.
What We Do, and What We Don’t
We do: stop active leaks, document damage, write detailed estimates, meet adjusters at your request, explain insurer paperwork in plain language, and complete the repairs in your signed contract.
We don’t: promise approval or a payout amount, act as your public adjuster, or pay, waive, rebate or absorb your deductible. Your deductible is part of your policy and is your responsibility.

Storm Damage & Insurance Questions
Will you pay or waive my deductible?
No. Your deductible is part of your insurance policy and is your responsibility. We don’t offer rebates, discounts or credits to cover it, and you should be wary of any contractor who does.
Do I have to call my insurance company first?
You can call us first to stop the water and document the damage, but report the claim to your insurer promptly, as your policy requires. The claim is between you and your insurer.
Can you meet my adjuster?
Yes. At your request we’ll meet the adjuster on site, show the damage we documented and answer questions about the roof. We don’t negotiate your claim for you; in Pennsylvania that role belongs to you or a licensed public adjuster.
What if the adjuster misses damage?
We compare the insurer’s written scope with our photos and estimate and explain any differences in plain language, so you can decide whether to ask your insurer for a re-inspection.
How fast can you tarp a leaking roof?
We offer same-day emergency roof repair to stop water and protect your home. Call (412) 498-4299.
Will you promise my claim gets approved?
No contractor can. Coverage decisions are made by your insurer under your policy. Our job is clear documentation and quality repairs.
