Our Process
How the Roof Insurance Claims Process Works
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
