Roofing Contractor in Forest Hills, TN

Most Tennessee homeowners insurance policies give you one year from the date of loss, but some policies require notice of damage “as soon as reasonably possible.” Don’t wait. The longer the gap between the storm and the inspection, the harder it is to prove the damage came from that specific event.

A contingency agreement is a contract that says: we will replace your roof, but only if your insurance carrier approves the claim. If they deny it, the agreement is void and you owe nothing. It protects you in three ways. It commits us to advocating hard for the claim because we have skin in the game. It locks in your scope and pricing so a low initial offer from the carrier doesn’t become your final number. And it means you don’t have to make the replace-or-not decision until after the claim is settled.
