Top 3 Insurance Claim Mistakes to Avoid

Filing an insurance claim can be a complex process, and making mistakes can jeopardize your claim and cause delays. To help you navigate this process smoothly, here are the Top 3 insurance claim mistakes to avoid:

1. Not Documenting the Damage Thoroughly

One of the biggest mistakes is failing to provide detailed documentation of the damage. Make sure to take clear, comprehensive photos and videos of the affected areas. This evidence is crucial for supporting your claim and demonstrating the extent of the damage.

Our team at Guarantee Roofing and Fence utilize state-of-the-art drone footage – and the good old-fashioned crawling into your attic –  to get comprehensive documentation to fight insurance pushback.

2. Waiting Too Long to File a Claim

Insurance policies have specific time limits for filing claims. Waiting too long to report damage can lead to claim denials or delays. Be proactive, get your free estimate from Guarantee Roofing and Fence quickly, then collaborate with us to contact your insurance company as soon as possible after the damage occurs to ensure you meet all deadlines and requirements.

3. Not Reviewing Your Policy Carefully

Every insurance policy is different, with varying coverage limits and exclusions. Before filing a claim, thoroughly review your policy to understand what is covered and any potential limitations. This helps set realistic expectations and ensures you’re aware of what you need to provide.
