Additionally, they can help release withheld depreciation funds after completing the project. Understanding what the insurance has approved is vital for them to accurately address all damaged components. For retail projects, working directly with insurance can also ease the financial burden by allowing Fuchs Roofing to wait for insurance payments before requiring final payment from the client.

An insurance supplement for a hail or wind claim is an additional request for funds to cover costs or damages not included in the initial claim. After the initial assessment by an insurance adjuster, Fuchs Roofing may discover further damages or higher repair costs due to factors like missing items or increased material prices. To cover these extra expenses, Fuchs Roofing can file a supplement, providing detailed documentation to the insurance company. If approved, the insurance will release additional funds, ensuring all necessary repairs are covered without increasing your out-of-pocket costs.

Several factors can cause your final invoice to be higher than the initial proposal. These include insurance supplement costs for necessary work not covered in the initial estimate and unforeseen issues that require extra materials or labor. Problems with decking, such as rotten or delaminated boards, may need replacement to ensure proper installation. Additional labor costs can arise from hand-loading materials or manually removing debris if access is difficult. Flashing replacement and discovering multiple layers of shingles or siding also add to the cost. These adjustments ensure the project is completed correctly and to high standards.

Asphalt Shingles

Signs of Storm Damage to Asphalt Shingles.

  • Hail: May cause circular granule loss to asphalt shingles. Granules help protect your roof from the suns powerful UV rays. Without them, the useful service life of the roof is significantly reduced. Even small hail can cause severe damage when combined with strong winds. We offer free roof inspections, so give us a call if you have recently experienced hail.
  • Wind: Strong winds can result in creased or missing shingles. Creased shingles shed their granules, which has a similar effect to hail damage. Shingles that are completely missing are even more serious. Absent shingles may allow water to enter your home which may cause thousands of dollars in damage. Fuchs Roofing will work with your insurance company to repair or replace your roof. Call for a free inspection.
