Are insurance adjusters really trying to deny every roof claim?

It’s a common concern we hear from homeowners, especially after a storm. But the reality is more complicated.

In this video, Chris from Rescue My Roof explains the role of an insurance adjuster during a roof claim, what determines whether storm damage may be covered, and why understanding your insurance policy before you ever need to file a claim is so important.

We’ll cover:

  • What adjusters are looking for when evaluating storm damage
  • Why your policy coverage matters
  • Replacement cost vs. actual cash value
  • The importance of understanding your deductible
  • How roofers document storm damage
  • Why contractors and adjusters sometimes disagree
  • How good communication can help the claims process

A contractor’s job is to properly document the condition of your roof and advocate for you using facts, photos, and experience. The adjuster’s job is to evaluate the damage and determine what is covered under your policy.

When the damage, documentation, and coverage line up, the process doesn’t have to be a battle.
