In our last post, we at Marco shared tips you could use in your own marketing to help build your reputation and inform your customers of some important information about roof repair. We also mentioned a second article you can share with your customers on your website, email campaigns or social media channels … and here it is! Simply copy and paste:

Roof Damage? File a Claim!

It’s storm season, and that means the potential for roof damage. So if Mother Nature has taken a toll on your roof, review these tips before calling your insurance: 

Act NOW. Your insurance company won’t be interested in repairing wear-and-tear damage. So act while the damage is new and looks like it!

• Know your coverage. Take a look at your policy to see if the damage is covered or if you excluded things like wind and hail damage. Also check to see if you are covered for replacement cost or actual cash value.
• Inspect the damage! Know the scope of the damage before calling your insurance company—this includes your roof and the rest of your home!
• This is a surprise to most people, but according to a recent Forbes article, you should NOT get multiple estimates. Insurance companies may simply take the lowest one, and that may not be your best quality option. 
• When getting the estimate, base it on the roof you had, not how you want to change things. And don’t rely on the adjuster to determine the repair cost, get a written estimate from a trusted, local roofing company (on their letterhead!).
• Track everything. Keep a log of your correspondence with the insurance company and roofing company. This includes photos, who you spoke to and when, and what was discussed. This paper trail could help you if problems arise.

If you have any questions at all about what to do when your roof is damaged, give us a call.

Again, feel free to copy and paste the above and add it to your website, send it to your email list, or break it up into several social media posts. This will help keep your name out in the market so you are top-of-mind when they need roof repairs. It will also help position you as a trustworthy leader in your local market.
