Colorado ranks third in the nation for hail insurance claims. Therefore, Colorado tops those lists no one wants to be on. It’s attracts a lot of out-of-state storm chasers.”
Experts say guarding against unscrupulous y-by-night roofers starts with checking references.
Reputable roofers don’t need to go door-to-door. There are a lot of resources where you can go to check them out. Make sure you’re doing that. Word of mouth is always your best bet and it is always best to coordinate with your insurance company.
Now is a good time to update your insurance. Many policies have a separate wind and hail deductible that is higher than your normal deductible, so use this as a wake-up call to gure out what coverage is best for you.
You either have a higher dollar deductible, or even higher percentage deductible on your property value, so just make sure you know what that deductible is, because it’s likely to be one of your higher deductibles.
As for auto claims — take photos and research auto body repair shops before you sign any contracts. Again, coordinate with your insurance company, they probably already have a list of body shops that they work with.
