The ClaimSmart System℠

Colorado’s Guide to Smarter Roof Insurance Claims

Learn how to protect your home, maximize your insurance coverage, and restore your roof with confidence before you file or sign anything.

Avoid Denied & Underpaid Roof Claims

Roof insurance claims are complex by design. These three claim pitfalls catch even smart homeowners off guard.

Filing Too Early

Most Colorado homeowners file roof insurance claims before proper documentation is gathered. That weakens your case and can result in a denied or underpaid claim.

Letting Salespeople Take the Lead

Too many roofing companies rely on door-knocking sales reps. But hail damage claims require licensed adjusters who understand policy language and strategy.

Missing the Policy Timeline

In Colorado, you may only have 12–24 months to act. Waiting too long after storm damage can reduce or void your roof replacement reimbursement.

The ClaimSmart℠ Approach to Roofing

Colorado homeowners dealing with storm, hail, or wind damage need more than a contractor. These four traits help ensure your claim leads to protection not patchwork.

Licensed Claim Expertise

Choose roofing professionals with adjuster experience. Strong claims start with documentation tied to your policy, gathered before the adjuster ever arrives.

Smart Filing Strategy

Filing a claim too soon, or too late can reduce coverage. A knowledgeable advisor helps you file at the right time based on deadlines, depreciation, and policy terms.

Scope + Code Accuracy

Claims often miss code-required items like vents or flashing. Xactimate helps ensure your scope reflects your policy details, not just the visible damage on the roof.

Restoration First Approach

An insurance-funded roof should restore your home’s value, function, and warranty. True restoration requires planning and documentation, not just patchwork.

How the ClaimSmart System℠ Works

A 5-step strategy to help protect your home, maximize your insurance payout and restore your roof with confidence after storm or hail damage.

1

Assess & Document

ClaimSmart begins with a physical inspection that goes beyond the surface. A trained expert inspects materials, uses aerial and photo evidence, and captures every detail needed to build a compliant, insurable claim file mapped to policy language.
2

File at the Right Time

Not all insurance claims should be filed immediately. A smart advisor considers your policy type, damage progression, and state deadlines helping you file when it maximizes your payout and avoids delays or denials.
3

Match the Scope to the Policy

Your insurance company will reference a scope of work to calculate your payout. That scope should include code-required items and hidden damage not just surface level repairs. Tools like Xactimate help ensure your coverage reflects the full rebuild you’re entitled to.
4

Rebuild for the Long Run

Insurance-funded restoration isn’t just about replacing a roof, it’s about executing the build in a way that meets policy requirements and protects future value. That means sequencing crews, timing materials, and verifying code compliance before the work starts.
5

Support Beyond Restoration

Even after the roof is complete, there’s more to protect. Advisors help with depreciation recovery, fund release, resale documentation, and future inspection support so you stay covered well beyond construction.
