Understanding Midland & Odessa’s Weather Challenges
Living in the Permian Basin means dealing with some of the most unpredictable weather in Texas. High winds, blowing dust, hail, and powerful thunderstorms are all part of life here. These conditions can wear down your roof faster than you might expect, leading to leaks, missing shingles, punctures, and other costly issues.
That’s why it’s so important for homeowners to know how to properly file a roof damage insurance claim. A timely and well-documented claim can mean the difference between getting full coverage for your repair or replacement — or facing unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. Whether your roof was damaged by a sudden hailstorm or high winds that rolled through the Basin, understanding the process can help you protect your investment and get your home back to normal faster.
Step-by-Step: How to File a Roof Damage Insurance Claim
- Inspect the Damage Safely: After a storm, start by assessing your property from the ground. Look out for visible signs of damage like missing shingles, dents in metal surfaces, fallen debris, or leaks inside your home. Avoid climbing onto your roof; safety should always come first. Instead, take photos or videos from a safe distance, and document everything you can see.
- Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection: Before calling your insurance company, contact a trusted local roofing contractor like Schmitt Roofing & Construction. Our experts are trained to identify storm-related damage that may not be visible to the untrained eye. We’ll provide a detailed inspection report, complete with photos, to help you determine whether filing a claim makes sense.
- Contact Your Insurance Company: Once you’ve confirmed that damage exists, reach out to your homeowner’s insurance provider. File a claim and provide the necessary details about the date, time, and cause of the damage. Be prepared to submit your documentation, including the photos and inspection report, to support your case.
- Talk to the Insurance Adjuster: Your insurance company will send someone to evaluate the damage. Having your roofing contractor present during this inspection can make a huge difference. We’ll walk the roof with your adjuster, pointing out damage that might otherwise be overlooked, ensuring the scope of work is accurately documented.
- Review the Claim Estimate: After the adjuster’s visit, you’ll receive a claim estimate detailing what repairs or replacements are covered. Look at this carefully and ask questions if anything seems unclear. Your roofing contractor can help verify whether the proposed scope and pricing match what’s truly needed for a proper repair.
- Approve the Work and Schedule Repairs: Once your claim is approved, the repair or replacement process can begin. At Schmitt Roofing & Construction, we handle everything from emergency roof tarping to full roof replacements, using high-quality materials designed for Texas weather.
