Storm Damage Process: What to Expect
The storm damage process can be overwhelming, but 1st Choice Remodeling makes it simple. Our experienced team helps homeowners restore their properties after hail or wind storms. We work directly with insurance carriers to ensure you receive a fair settlement that covers all necessary repairs.
Understanding the Storm Damage Process
- Comprehensive Inspection – We assess your entire exterior to determine if storm damage justifies filing an insurance claim.
- Damage Documentation – We take detailed photos and show homeowners the damage, especially areas like roofs, window cladding, fascia, and gutters.
- Filing the Claim – If hail or wind damage is present, we recommend contacting your insurance carrier to start a property damage claim.
- Insurance Adjuster Meeting – A 1st Choice Remodeling field representative meets the adjuster on-site to ensure all storm-related damage is documented.
- Estimate Review & Revisions – We analyze the insurance adjuster’s repair estimate to confirm it covers all necessary repairs and fair pricing. If adjustments are needed, we submit a revised estimate using the same estimating software as the insurance company.
- Agreement on Scope & Cost – Once 1st Choice Remodeling and the insurance carrier agree on scope and costs, homeowners receive a detailed estimate and payment to begin repairs.
- Material Selection & Scheduling – Your 1st Choice representative helps you select materials, colors, and provides estimated start and completion dates.
- Final Walkthrough & Completion – A field supervisor conducts a final inspection to ensure repairs meet our high standards. 1st Choice Remodeling then submits a completion invoice for final payment.
