Tip No. 5 on Filing A Roof Insurance Claim: You Don't Need Multiple Estimates

Tip No. 5: You Don't Need Multiple Estimates.


Homeowners' insurance policies entitle a homeowner to choose a contractor. But that doesn't mean you need to contact multiple roofers or submit multiple estimates to your insurance company.

Why not? 


Well, if a homeowner submits three contractor bids to a carrier, nearly every time they’re going to choose the lowest bid, even if it means choosing a lower-quality service. 


That means it falls to you, homeowner, on picking the company you'd like to work with to rectify your home's exteriors. Make sure the company you choose is licensed and insured, and look at reviews online to see how their customers have reviewed their work. 


Follow along for more tips about maintaining, fixing, and replacing your home exteriors. And if you live in Richmond and think you may have a storm-related leak or issue, give Retex a call – 804-258-6300.
