Insurance Claims & Storm Restorations
Iowa weather is no joke! Our state is no stranger to tornadoes, extreme heat, extreme cold, and hail, which can all negatively impact the integrity and safety of our most sacred space – our home.
If your home sustained any type of damage due to severe weather, it’s important to contact your local storm restoration experts at Andino Construction as quickly as possible to prevent any secondary damage that could complicate an otherwise simple repair.
Often, storm damage is challenging to assess from the ground, and you may not even be aware of it. That is why it is always a good idea to reach out to us after any major weather event and have us perform a thorough roof inspection to make sure your roof was not compromised. The untrained eye can often overlook hail damage, and this oversight can lead to water intrusion as time goes on, as well as subsequent damage to the structure.
When you contact Andino Construction, we will send one of our trusted professionals over to your home quickly to perform a thorough roof inspection and advise a plan of repair, if necessary, including temporary tarping.
If repair is necessary, we will work with you every step of the way during the insurance restoration process to ensure your claim is handled fairly and your roof is restored satisfactorily.
Step-by-step instructions to your insurance restoration process
-
If we find damage to your property, your Andino Construction LLC representative will present detailed photos of the damage. Photo documentation of all the damages will be taken as proof to provide to your insurance company to justify your claim.
-
We will need to call your insurance company and file a claim. Many times, your Andino Construction LLC representative can sit down and do this with you. At this time you will be assigned a claim number, this will be used to track your claim throughout the claims process.
-
It is very important that we are able to meet your insurance adjuster at your property to represent your best interest during the insurance meeting. Our goal is to guarantee that your roof and repairs are approved for replacement on the date of the inspection. If we cannot meet with your adjuster, it is possible that certain items that should be replaced may be overlooked, or only partial repair of your roof may be approved. To avoid such circumstances, your Andino Construction LLC representative will need to know the date and time the adjuster is scheduled to be at your house.
-
Your Andino Construction LLC representative will arrive early to the insurance adjustment to be fully prepared. During the meeting, your Andino Construction LLC representative will show the adjuster all the damages discovered in our original inspection. The adjuster will confirm the damages and prepare a written summary report going over all the property damage and the amount they are currently estimating the losses to be. This summary report may be completed on-site or mailed to you.
-
Once you receive the summary report contact your Andino Construction LLC representative to sit down and go over all the details and line items. During this time, we will also go over all the project specifications, products, and colors being using to restore your home. Your Andino Construction LLC representative will schedule the work to be done.
