1. Call us to inspect your roof and exterior to determine if there is actual damage.

2. Call your insurance company and file a claim.

3. Once your claim has been filed, you will be given a claim number from the agent. This number is the case number for your claim and is important when addressing your insurance company. Please provide this number to your ADMIRAL ROOFING claims specialist as he/she will need it when discussing the claim with your insurance adjuster.

4. An insurance adjuster will contact you usually within several days of filing your claim to schedule an appointment to review your damage. When the adjuster calls, please instruct your adjuster to contact your ADMIRAL ROOFING claims representative. In doing this, we can meet with your insurance adjuster at an agreed time at your property to review the damage together. Meeting with the adjuster is essential for us in determining the scope of damage and in placing a fair market value for the repairs.
