Phoenix Metro Roof Damage Information

The storm that swept through Arizona October 5th of 2010 brought with it high winds, softball sized hail, and torrents of water. Because of the extensive amount of damage that was caused by the storm, Phoenix area roofers have been unbelievable busy fixing the damage this storm caused. The estimated number of homes effected by that storm stands at over half a million homes. To date, only about 150,000 valley home owners have filed claims to have their damage repaired. DNA Roofing wants everyone who suffered losses in this storm to know, the October 5th 2011 deadline that was issued by many insurance companies is not always the actual deadline to file a claim.

How long do I have to file a claim?

While many insurance policies and adjusters set a 1 year deadline to file a hail damage claim, in many cases you have up to two years to file a claim. We urge you to check with your insurance company to verify the stipulations in your agreement. Some policies can be extended due to the extreme circumstances of the Arizona hail damage. Reasons for the extension are a really high ratio of the amount of homes damaged to the amount of local licensed roofing contractors, the fact that the hail storm was deemed a catastrophe by the white house, some contracts actually stipulate you have two years to file a claim, and also the people who represent insurance companies do understand that sometimes rules can be bended to help out Arizona homeowners. The bottom line is you should have your roof, your air conditioner, and any other items that may have been damaged by hail inspected so that you know the severity of the damage, and can also receive advice as the best way to proceed. We want you to be taken care of.
