How to Know If You Have Storm Damage
Many homeowners don't realize their roof has been damaged until leaks appear months later — by then, the damage has worsened and insurance deadlines may have passed. Here are the signs to look for after a storm:
Hail Damage Warning Signs
- Dents or "dimples" in shingles, vents, or gutters
- Circular cracks or bruising on shingles (may look like dark spots)
- Granules collecting in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts
- Dented air conditioning units, mailboxes, or outdoor furniture (indicates hail was large enough to damage your roof)
- Cracked or damaged skylights
Wind Damage Warning Signs
- Missing shingles or shingles lifted at the edges
- Shingles that appear creased, bent, or curled
- Exposed underlayment or roof deck
- Debris on the roof (branches, leaves trapped under shingles)
- Damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, or roof edges
- Loose or detached gutters
Other Storm Damage
- Fallen tree limbs or debris impact
- Ice dam damage (common in Central Oregon winters)
- Water stains on interior ceilings or walls
If you notice any of these signs — or if a major storm recently hit your area — call us for a free inspection. Most storm damage isn't visible from the ground.
Our Insurance Claims Process — Step by Step
We handle the hard part so you don't have to. Here's exactly what happens when you work with All Concepts Exteriors on a storm damage claim:
Step 1: Free Storm Damage Inspection
We visit your property and perform a comprehensive roof inspection, documenting all damage with detailed photos and measurements. This inspection is completely free, whether you file a claim or not.
What we check:
- Shingles, flashing, and ridge caps
- Gutters, downspouts, and drip edges
- Vents, skylights, and chimneys
- Siding and windows (if applicable)
- Interior water damage (ceilings, attic)
Step 2: Damage Report & Insurance Documentation
If we find storm damage, we prepare a professional damage report with photos and descriptions that match what insurance adjusters need to see. This documentation is critical — poor documentation is the #1 reason claims get denied or underpaid.
Our report includes:
- Photo evidence of each damaged area
- Measurements and affected square footage
- Description of damage type (hail, wind, impact)
- Recommended repairs with material specifications
Step 3: Help You File Your Claim
We walk you through the claims process and help you understand what to say (and what NOT to say) when you call your insurance company. We'll explain:
- How to file the claim
- What your policy likely covers
- What deductible means for your out-of-pocket cost
- Timeline expectations
We never pressure you to file a claim. If the damage is minor and below your deductible, we'll tell you honestly — sometimes it makes more sense to pay out of pocket.
Step 4: Meet with the Insurance Adjuster
When your insurance company sends an adjuster to inspect the damage, we meet them on-site. This is crucial. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, and having a roofing expert present ensures:
- All damage is properly identified (adjusters often miss damage)
- Technical roofing language is accurately documented
- Your interests are represented, not just the insurance company's
Step 5: Review the Settlement & Scope of Work
Once your insurance company approves the claim, we review the settlement with you to make sure it covers everything needed to restore your roof properly — not just a patch job. If the scope is missing items, we help you request a supplement.
Common items insurance companies miss:
- Starter strips and ridge caps
- Ice and water shield in valleys
- Drip edge replacement
- Proper ventilation
- Code upgrades required by local building codes
Step 6: Professional Repair or Replacement
With your claim approved, we complete the repairs using quality materials that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications. Our work is backed by both manufacturer warranties and our workmanship guarantee.
You pay only your deductible — we work directly with your insurance company on the rest.
Step 7: Final Inspection & Documentation
After the work is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you, provide photos of the completed project, and give you all documentation you need for your records and for your insurance company.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Insurance Claims
How long do I have to file a storm damage claim?
Most insurance policies require you to file within 1 year of the storm date, but some policies have shorter windows. Don't wait — hidden damage gets worse over time, and delays can give insurance companies a reason to deny your claim.
Will filing a claim raise my insurance rates?
Not necessarily. In most states, a single weather-related claim does not affect your rates. Storm damage is considered an "Act of God" — it's not your fault. However, multiple claims within a short period may impact your premiums. We can help you weigh the decision.
What if my insurance claim is denied?
Denials happen, but they're often overturned. Common reasons for denial include "no damage found" (often because the adjuster missed it) or "pre-existing damage." If your claim is denied, we can help you file an appeal with additional documentation.
Do I have to use the contractor my insurance company recommends?
No. You have the legal right to choose any licensed contractor. Insurance "preferred vendors" are often chosen because they agree to lower pricing — not because they do the best work. Choose a contractor you trust.
What's the difference between ACV and RCV policies?
ACV (Actual Cash Value) — Pays replacement cost minus depreciation. Older roofs receive smaller payouts.
RCV (Replacement Cost Value) — Pays full replacement cost. You may receive a partial payment upfront, then the rest (recoverable depreciation) after repairs are completed.
We help you understand your policy type and maximize your payout.
How much will I pay out of pocket?
Typically, you pay only your deductible (commonly $1,000–$2,500). If your approved claim is $15,000 and your deductible is $1,500, insurance pays $13,500 directly, and you pay $1,500.
Can you help with siding and window damage too?
Yes. Storm damage often affects more than just roofs. We document and repair hail-damaged siding, broken windows, dented gutters, and damaged decks — all under the same claim when applicable.
Why Choose All Concepts Exteriors for Your Insurance Claim?
Don't Wait — Storm Damage Gets Worse Over Time
What starts as a small leak or a few missing shingles can quickly become:
- Mold and mildew growth in your attic
- Rotted roof decking requiring costly replacement
- Interior water damage to ceilings, walls, and insulation
- Structural damage that insurance won't cover if you waited too long
Central Oregon's freeze-thaw cycles accelerate storm damage. Water gets into small cracks, freezes, expands, and makes the damage worse with every cold night.
The sooner you call, the more options you have.
