At Think Exterior, we provide comprehensive assistance throughout the entire insurance claim process for roof damage.

Our services include:

• Conducting a thorough inspection of your roof to identify all storm-related damage.
• Documenting the damage with detailed photos, videos, and written reports.
• Meeting with the insurance adjuster to ensure all damage is properly noted.
• Reviewing the insurance company’s estimate for accuracy and completeness.
• Negotiating with the insurance company if the initial offer is insufficient.
• Providing expert installation of your new roof once the claim is approved.

Our goal is to ensure you receive fair compensation for all storm-related damage, allowing us to restore your roof to its pre-storm condition or better.

If you suspect your roof has been damaged in a storm, follow these steps:

• Ensure your family’s safety first. If there’s any risk of structural damage, evacuate the home.
• If safe to do so, try to temporarily cover any obvious holes or leaks to prevent further water damage.
• Document the damage with photos and videos, if possible, but do not climb on the roof yourself.
• Contact your insurance company to report the damage and start the claim process.
• Reach out to Think Exterior for a free roof inspection. We work closely with insurance companies and can provide a professional assessment to support your claim.
• Be cautious of unsolicited offers from contractors, especially those who appear immediately after a storm.

At Think Exterior, we understand the importance of working harmoniously with insurance companies. Our professional assessment can provide valuable, unbiased documentation to support your insurance claim, helping to ensure all storm-related damage is properly identified and addressed. We’re here to facilitate the process and provide expert repairs once your claim is approved.

The time frame for filing an insurance claim can vary depending on your specific policy and the state you live in. In Minnesota, most insurance policies require you to file a claim within one year of the date of loss. However, it’s always best to file as soon as possible after the damage occurs.

Here’s why:

• Fresh evidence is more compelling. The sooner we can document the damage, the clearer the connection to the storm event.
• Some types of damage can worsen over time if not addressed promptly.
• Insurance companies may be skeptical of claims filed long after the event.

At Think Exterior, we recommend contacting us for an inspection as soon as you suspect damage. We can help you navigate the claim filing process efficiently and effectively, ensuring you meet all necessary deadlines.

At Think Exterior, we pride ourselves on using only high-quality, durable roofing materials that are well-suited to Minnesota’s challenging climate.
