FAQ
Does homeowners insurance cover every roof leak?
No. Coverage often depends on whether the loss was sudden and covered, versus wear, maintenance or excluded causes.
Should I sign an assignment before the insurer responds?
Understand any document before signing. Rules and implications vary by state.
What documentation helps?
Dated photos, inspection reports, weather information, receipts and written contractor scopes can help organize the claim.
