Finding out that your insurance claim for a new roof has been denied can be frustrating and overwhelming. After all, your roof plays a crucial role in protecting your home, and if it has suffered storm damage, you need a solution fast. But don’t lose hope just yet! At Perimeter Roofing, we specialize in working with homeowners and their insurance companies to overturn denials and help get your roof replacement covered. Here’s what you need to know about the next steps to take if your claim has been denied.
1. Review Your Insurance Claim Denial Letter
The first step after a denial is to carefully review the explanation provided by your insurance company. Common reasons for denial include:
- The damage is considered normal wear and tear rather than storm related.
- The claim was filed too late after the storm.
- Insufficient documentation of the damage.
- The insurance adjuster determined the damage wasn’t severe enough to warrant a replacement.
Understanding why your claim was denied will help determine the best course of action moving forward.
2. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
If your claim was denied due to insufficient documentation or an adjuster’s assessment, getting a second opinion is crucial. Perimeter Roofing offers free, detailed roof inspections to thoroughly assess storm damage. Our experienced roofing specialists know exactly what insurance companies look for and can provide the necessary documentation, including:
- High-quality photos of the damage
- A detailed report outlining the extent of roof damage
- Evidence that the damage is storm-related and not just normal aging
3. Request a Reassessment or File an Appeal
Insurance adjusters can make mistakes, and sometimes they overlook legitimate damage. If you believe your claim was unfairly denied, you have the right to request a reassessment. Perimeter Roofing can assist you in filing an appeal by providing expert-backed evidence and meeting with your insurance adjuster on-site to ensure they don’t miss any critical damage.
4. Get Help from a Roofing Company That Knows Insurance Claims
Navigating the insurance claims process can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. Perimeter Roofing has extensive experience working with insurance companies, and we know how to communicate effectively to help get claims approved. Our team:

5. Consider Supplementary Options if Necessary
If your appeal is unsuccessful, there may still be options available to you. Perimeter Roofing offers smart financing options to help you afford a new roof if insurance coverage is not possible. We also provide maintenance services to help extend the life of your roof until you can schedule a full replacement.
