Our Process

How the Roof Insurance Claims Process Works

  1. 01

    Document the Damage Immediately

    The first step is to safely document what happened to your roof. Take photos and videos of the damaged area, any debris, water stains, and the overall roof condition. Do this within 24–48 hours if possible. Avoid walking on the roof yourself—let a professional document the damage safely.

  2. 02

    File Your Claim with Your Insurance Company

    Contact your homeowner’s insurance agent or call the claims hotline. Provide the date of the storm, a clear description of the damage, your policy number, and contact information. The insurance company will assign an adjuster to inspect your roof within 3–14 days.

  3. 03

    Schedule Your Adjuster’s Inspection

    Once assigned, the adjuster will contact you to schedule an inspection. Have your documentation ready—photos, videos, and notes about the incident. The adjuster will assess the damage and estimate repair or replacement costs. We can be present during this inspection to ensure nothing is overlooked.

  4. 04

    Review the Adjuster’s Report and Estimate

    After inspection, the insurance company sends you a formal estimate. This is where it’s critical to have a professional contractor review the assessment. Sometimes adjusters miss damage in valleys, flashing, or around penetrations. We can spot what was overlooked and help you request a re-inspection if needed.

  5. 05

    Work with Your Roofer to Finalize the Estimate

    Once your insurance company’s estimate is finalized, we work from that estimate to provide a detailed proposal. If the insurance estimate is lower than actual repair costs, we’ll discuss options—whether to make up the difference, upgrade materials, or request additional inspection.

  6. 06

    Schedule Repairs or Replacement

    Once you’ve approved the final estimate and selected your contractor, we schedule the work. For major storms, our teams work efficiently to minimize further water infiltration risk while honoring the queue of other storm damage claims.

The Core Difference

Why Trust Core Roofing With Your Colorado Roof Claim

When you file a roof insurance claim in Denver, the contractor standing next to you should understand the process better than anyone. Core Roofing Systems is approved by the Colorado Division of Insurance to teach the roof claim process to licensed insurance agents, including course #63025, The Roof Claim Process and The Agent. The same team documenting your storm damage trains the professionals who evaluate it.

We have handled Front Range storm restoration since 2001, more than 25 years of hail, wind, and Hail Alley claims. We hold dual Owens Corning Platinum Preferred and GAF Master Elite certifications, belong to National Women in Roofing (NWIR), carry a BBB A+ rating, and back every roof with a 5-year workmanship warranty. Adjusters recognize our documentation because we speak their language. Explore our insurance-agent CE program to see how deep that expertise runs.

Know the Terms

ACV vs. RCV, Deductibles, and the Terms You Need to Know

A roof claim comes with its own vocabulary. Here are the terms that decide how much your insurer pays and what comes out of your pocket.

Actual Cash Value (ACV)

The depreciated value of your roof at the time of loss. On an ACV policy the insurer subtracts age and wear from the payout.

Replacement Cost Value (RCV)

The full cost to replace your roof with like materials, paid without a depreciation deduction once the work is finished and documented.

Deductible

The amount you pay before coverage applies, often higher for wind and hail. In Colorado, no contractor may legally waive or absorb your deductible.

Recoverable Depreciation

The gap between ACV and RCV that your insurer releases after the roof is replaced and final invoices are submitted as proof of loss.

Endorsement / Rider

An add-on to your policy that changes coverage, such as an impact-resistant-roof credit or a separate wind and hail provision.

Matching, Cosmetic Exclusion & Public Adjuster

Matching covers replacing undamaged sections so the repair blends in; a cosmetic-damage exclusion lets some policies deny dents that do not affect function; a public adjuster is an independent adjuster you can hire to represent your claim.

For a deeper walk-through of settlements, supplements, and paperwork, read our full Colorado roof insurance claim guide.

Coverage Basics

What Roof Damage Insurance Covers, and What It Doesn't

Most Colorado homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental damage from a single storm event: wind-lifted or missing shingles, hail bruising and granule loss, fallen-tree impact, and the interior water damage that follows a leak. They typically will not cover gradual wear, deferred maintenance, or damage classified as cosmetic only, and Colorado's matching considerations can affect whether an insurer pays to blend undamaged sections into a repair.

If a leak reached the inside of your home, our sister company Water Damage Inc handles the water and mold restoration that insurance often covers alongside the roof. For the repair side, see our storm & hail damage roof repair.

A Word of Caution

Avoiding Storm-Chasers After a Hailstorm

After every major Front Range hailstorm, out-of-state crews flood the neighborhood knocking on doors. Anyone who offers to "waive your deductible" is proposing something illegal in Colorado, and high-pressure contracts signed on the porch often leave homeowners stranded when the crew moves on.

A local, established contractor is still standing behind the work years later. Core has roofed Denver since 2001 and is trusted enough by the insurance industry to teach agents the claim process. That is the difference between a chaser and a partner.

Frequently Asked Questions About Insurance Claims

From the moment you file until repairs are complete, expect 4–8 weeks. The adjuster’s inspection typically happens within 2–3 weeks. Once you have the estimate, scheduling the repair depends on our current workload and the extent of damage. Major storms sometimes create backlogs across the entire roofing industry, so we schedule in order of claim severity and weather risk.

No. Your insurance company cannot require you to use a specific contractor. You have the right to hire any licensed, insured roofer you choose. We’re often selected because homeowners trust our experience and our commitment to fair, thorough work.

This happens more often than you’d think, especially after major storms. If the adjuster’s estimate is significantly lower than what we believe the repair or replacement will cost, we can help you request a re-inspection or supplement. If there’s still a gap after that, we discuss your options—including financing for the difference.

Yes, typically. Your insurance deductible comes out of the insurance company’s payment. So if your insurance company’s estimate is set and your deductible applies, the difference is your out-of-pocket cost. Deductibles are often higher for wind or hail damage. We can discuss how your deductible affects your actual cost and explore financing options if there’s a gap between the insurance payment and full repair cost.

We can provide professional documentation and assessment, which strengthens your claim. However, we don’t file the claim itself—that’s between you and your insurance company. What we do is give you the information and documentation you need to file a thorough, complete claim. Our inspection report can be submitted as supporting evidence.

Yes, most Colorado homeowners policies cover sudden, accidental roof damage from hail, wind, and storms - the perils that drive nearly every Front Range claim. Gradual wear, neglect, and some cosmetic-only damage are typically excluded. We inspect free, document the storm damage, and tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth filing.

Wind-lifted or missing shingles, hail bruising and granule loss, fallen-tree impact, and resulting interior water damage are generally covered in Colorado. Coverage hinges on a single storm event, not age or wear. As a CO Division of Insurance CE provider, we know what adjusters look for and document it to the carrier’s standard.

Note the storm date, photograph any visible damage and interior leaks, and place a bucket under active drips. Then schedule a free professional inspection before you call your insurer - knowing the true scope first protects you. Avoid signing with door-knockers; call Core Roofing Systems at 303-295-2220.

Carriers sometimes label hail bruising “cosmetic” to deny functional damage. In Colorado, hail that breaks granule protection shortens roof life and is functional, not cosmetic. We document granule loss, mat fractures, and soft spots photographically and prepare a supplement so the adjuster reviews the full, accurate scope.

You may have options. Many policies allow for an appraisal process (similar to a third-party arbitration) if you and the insurance company disagree on damage or cost. We can help document why a re-inspection is warranted and provide expert testimony if needed. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.

We handle repairs and full replacements for all roof types—residential, commercial, and multifamily. We work with insurance adjusters on all damage types (storm, hail, wind, ice dam, etc.). One thing we don’t do is attempt to influence or coach what you tell your insurance adjuster. We document what we honestly see and let the adjuster make their assessment.

The basic process is the same, though commercial claims often involve more stakeholders and longer timelines. We have extensive experience with commercial and multifamily claims and understand how to navigate them smoothly.

Document interior damage just as carefully as roof damage. Photos of stains, wet insulation, ceiling damage, etc., strengthen your claim because they prove the leak caused loss. Your homeowner’s insurance may also cover restoration (drywall, insulation, etc.), not just the roof repair. Ask your adjuster about the full scope of coverage.

Yes. We offer a free inspection and claims consultation. We’ll assess your roof, document any damage, answer your questions about the claims process, and help you understand your options. There’s no obligation—we just want to make sure you have the information you need.

You can request a re-inspection and submit additional evidence. We meet your adjuster on the roof, document anything missed, and file a supplement with photos and measurements. Because we teach the claim process to agents, we speak the carrier’s language and resolve scope disputes professionally, not adversarially.

Document storm-event damage, file promptly, and have a credentialed roofer present at the adjuster meeting so nothing is undercounted. If the approved scope or RCV settlement requires a full replacement, we manage the work and the recoverable-depreciation release. Start with a free Core inspection.

Avoid high-pressure door-knockers and anyone who offers to “waive your deductible” (illegal in Colorado). Choose a licensed, insured, locally established contractor - Core has roofed Denver since 2001, holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred and GAF Master Elite, and teaches insurers’ CE courses.
