Roof Insurance Claims Made Simple
By Experts Who’ve Been on Both Sides
Filing an insurance claim for roof damage can be one of the most stressful parts of homeownership — but it doesn’t have to be. At Morton Roofing, we specialize in guiding homeowners through the entire insurance claims process, ensuring you get the coverage you’re entitled to with no added stress or confusion.
What makes us different? Both of our owners are licensed insurance adjusters with years of first-hand experience working directly inside the insurance industry. We’ve stood on both sides of the claim process — which means we know exactly how insurance companies operate, how damage is assessed, and how to maximize your claim to cover the full cost of necessary repairs or replacements.
What is a Roofing Insurance Claim?
A roofing insurance claim is a formal request you file with your homeowner’s insurance company after your roof has suffered damage — often from storms, hail, wind, or other covered events. If your claim is approved, your insurance company will cover part or all of the costs associated with repairing or replacing the damaged roof.
But Here’s Where it Gets Tricky:
Insurance companies don't always make it easy for homeowners to get a full and fair payout. Without proper documentation, knowledge of the policy language, or experience dealing with adjusters, many homeowners end up underpaid — or denied entirely.
That’s exactly why having a contractor who understands the ins and outs of insurance claims is so important.
What Types of Roof Damage Typically Qualify for Insurance Claims?
Most homeowner policies cover "sudden and accidental" damage to your roof. Common types of covered storm-related damage include:
Wind Damage
Lifted, missing, or broken shingles, as well as compromised flashing or gutters.
Heavy Snow or Ice Dams
Causing leaks or structural issues from excess weight or ice buildup.
Hail Damage
Loss of shingle granules, cracks, dents, and punctures that weaken your roofing system.
Falling Debris
Branches, trees, or other debris causing physical roof damage.
Lightning or Fire Damage
Rare but covered under most policies.
It’s Important to Note:
Insurance typically does not cover wear and tear, aging, or maintenance-related issues.
That’s why a professional inspection after any significant weather event is crucial. Damage that qualifies for coverage isn’t always obvious to the untrained eye — but we know exactly what to look for.
