Insurance Claim Process
Navigate Your Roof Damage Insurance Claim with Confidence
When a storm hits the Ozarks, know what to do! Dealing with damage to your home and roof can be stressful. Nav Restoration strives to relieve the stress of dealing with your insurance company for you. Our Storm Response Plan gives you a step-by-step plan to follow when dealing with storm damage and the insurance negotiation process.
Rule of Thumb
The prudent “rule of thumb” is to only file a claim with your insurance agent if the total of the repair estimate(s) exceeds twice [2 times] your policy deductible.
Contacting through Mail
The claims department should contact you by telephone or through the mail.
Evaluation
An adjuster will be assigned to inspect and evaluate the loss.
Itemized Explanation
The claims adjuster will provide you with a detailed and itemized explanation of your preliminary claim settlement including your deductible amount and any depreciation.
Inspection & Handling
Once you get the estimate from your claims adjuster, call Nav Restoration to review, compare inspection reports and handle negotiations on your behalf.
Insurance Claim Process:
Most homeowner policies grant coverage for full replacement cost provided the repairs are actually completed. In these cases, the depreciation is considered recoverable, and the final payment is made after your final receipts have been submitted and processed. (AKA you might not receive a check for the full amount initially; they will hold back money until you’ve completed the work to repair the damage.)
