Hail and wind damage can occur quite frequently on the Northshore and surrounding areas.  Haven Exteriors is available to help you with your insurance claim needs.  We are experienced in working with all of the major insurance carriers and adjusters in the region.   We have helped many homeowners with their hail and wind claims, along with repairing or replacing their storm damaged roofing, siding, and gutters.

Typically, most storm damage is not centralized to just the roof of your home. Hail and wind damage can severely compromise the structural integrity of your roofing, siding, and gutter systems.   As a result, you as a homeowner must hire two or three different companies to complete your work. Why not hire a company like Haven Exteriors who can repair all your damage instead?  Areas commonly damaged on your home’s exterior are covered by the same exterior services we provide to homeowners every day.  Call Haven Exteriors to get all of your storm damage taken care of by one company with just one call.

Not only do we replace and repair roofing, siding, and gutters, we also are experts in helping you deal with your insurance claims as a result of storm damage.  We know the ins and outs of the complicated insurance claim process and will work with your insurance company to ensure you receive the proper repairs to your home at fair market value.

No-Cost Damage Inspection

If your neighbors are getting new roofs due to storm activity, chances are good that you too may qualify for a new roof.  Haven Exteriors has HAAG Engineering Certified Roofing Inspectors on staff who can inspect your roof and have been extensively trained to spot any storm damage on your roof.  As part of our FREE inspection, your roof inspector will explain the findings and show you pictures of the extent of hail or wind damages found.  We also will let you know in our expert opinion if you would qualify for a new roof from your insurance company.

Let us give you peace of mind about whether or not your home has storm damage.  We would love the opportunity to give your home a free inspection!

Insurance claim expertise

When a storm hits, call Haven Exteriors to inspect, evaluate and repair the damage to your roof.  We will be on your side to assist in getting your claim processed quickly and all repairs completed in a timely manner. 

If your home has hail or wind damage of any kind, your homeowner’s insurance policy will likely cover at or near the full cost of your damage. Under your homeowner’s policy, acts of nature such as hail or wind are included as covered “perils” and many times warrant roof replacement or repair.   Haven Exteriors has insurance claim experts who are well versed in assisting with homeowner’s insurance claims.  We can provide you with the information necessary for your insurance company to recognize and compensate you for storm damage to your home.

We know it can be stressful to deal with the insurance claim process on your own—it requires a lot of time and patience.

We’ll walk you through the insurance claim process and deal with your insurance company to expedite the process of getting your home restored.  If your home has sustained damage as a result of a hail or wind storm, call us today and we’ll get started working for you.  We will work directly with your insurance company and/or adjuster to repair your home with premium products and to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.  Once we submit documentation identifying Haven Exteriors as your contractor of choice, we have more leverage with your insurance company to reach an agreeable price. 

Always contact your insurance company as soon as possible.  Waiting to do repairs is not in the best interest of your insurance claim or home.  Having your claim denied for failing to file within the filing timeline, or having water intrusion in your home are not good results. Do not open yourself up for bigger problems in the future. Give us a call to get your HAAG certified inspection, and also some peace of mind!

We will meet with your adjuster and identify the specific damages to your home.  Adjusters are less likely to deny a claim if a trusted roofing professional is there to provide findings and documentation.

Living in South Louisiana, we’re all familiar with how quickly severe storms can come through our area and the damage they can leave behind.  Unfortunately, some hail damage or wind damage to your home is so subtle that you may not notice it.  Our HAAG certified inspectors, however, are highly trained and have the experience necessary to identify wind and hail storm damage.

The following are some of the ways hail affects your home:

• Creates “bruises” on roofing shingles that can leave your home open to potential leaks and damage to your roofing system.
• Decreases the lifespan of your roofing system. Simply put, your roof will not last as long as it would have before hail hit.
• Compromises your roof’s water shedding ability.
• Cracks and chips siding, leaving your home open to the weather.
• Dents gutters and downspouts.

Some of the ways wind affects your home can include the following:

• Results in missing or damaged shingles, leaving your home open to rain and moisture.
• Blows off all siding or sections of siding, exposing your home to the elements.
• Damages fascia and gutter sections.
• Sends debris flying or downs trees, which can cause damage to many areas of your home. 

Storm Damage Report

Our damage report accurately documents the results of our inspection.  Our reports outline all wind and hail damage at your home, including the types of material and locations of damage by the wind or hail storm.  We put together a complete inspection of your home exterior and we will use it to document all the damages that we find.  Insurance companies usually request what damages were observed when you call in your claim.  Our damage report helps establish credibility when we meet with your insurance adjuster.  Also, any items we find that require special attention are noted (for example, chimney flashing that is damaged or not adequately shedding water).

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Included in our damage report are pictures of storm-related damage.  We include pictures of all exterior areas of your home that are damaged. If necessary, we will do a test square on your roof to help assess the extent of hail damage to your roof. These pictures are used to help illustrate to the insurance company the damage that was found during our inspection. We also use Eagleview technology, which is trusted by insurance companies to verify roof measurement accuracy.
