How long do I have to file a storm damage claim in Georgia?

Most Georgia policies require notice within a limited window after the date of loss, commonly one to two years, and some carriers are stricter. The practical answer is do not wait. The longer you go, the harder it is to tie the damage to a specific storm.

Will filing a claim raise my rates?

A weather-related claim is not the same as an at-fault claim. Carriers generally rate storm losses across a region rather than penalizing a single homeowner, and a denied roof that keeps leaking costs far more in the long run.

What if my claim gets denied?

Denials often come from thin documentation or a rushed adjuster visit. We have helped Cherokee County homeowners reopen denied claims with proper photo evidence, test squares, and a supplement request. Bring us the denial letter and we will look at it.

Do I pay you or does insurance?

You pay your deductible. The carrier covers the approved scope. We never inflate a scope or offer to eat a deductible, because that is insurance fraud in Georgia and it puts your policy at risk.

Can you tell if I have hail damage without climbing up?

Sometimes from gutters, downspouts, and AC fins, but roof-level hail bruising is what carriers pay on. Our free inspection documents it properly with photos and marked test squares.

The Three Kinds of Damage We Document

Hail damage

Hail knocks the granule layer off the shingle and bruises the mat underneath. The roof does not leak on day one, it leaks two summers later once UV finishes the job. That delay is exactly why so many Cherokee County claims get filed too late.

Wind damage

Georgia straight-line winds lift and crease shingles without tearing them off. A creased shingle has already failed even if it looks fine from the driveway. We check seal strips slope by slope.

Tree and debris impact

Pine limbs puncture decking and crack tiles. We tarp the opening, document the impact, and price both the roof and any deck replacement in one scope.

We Meet Your Adjuster on the Roof

The single biggest reason Cherokee County claims get underpaid is that nobody who understands roofing is standing next to the adjuster. Scopes get written for a few slopes instead of the whole roof, and drip edge, flashing, and ventilation get left off entirely.

We show up to that appointment with our own photos and test squares, walk the roof with them, and follow up with a written supplement when hidden damage turns up during tear-off.

You do not pay us to do that. It is part of how we work storm claims in Canton.
