How the Insurance Claims Process Works
Step 1: Free Damage Inspection
Contact EFER Renovations immediately after a storm. We’ll come to your property at no charge to assess and document all damage to your roof, siding, gutters, and related exterior components. Our detailed inspection report forms the foundation of your insurance claim — ensuring nothing is missed when you file.
Step 2: File Your Claim
Once we’ve documented the damage, we help you understand how to file your claim correctly with your insurance carrier. We’ll walk you through the process, help you understand your policy’s coverage, and make sure your claim is filed with complete and accurate information.
Step 3: Adjuster Inspection
Your insurance company will assign an adjuster to assess the damage. EFER Renovations will be there. We meet with your adjuster on-site to point out all documented damage and ensure nothing is overlooked or undervalued. This step often makes the difference between a partial settlement and full coverage.
Step 4: Review and Supplement
After your adjuster submits their estimate, we review it line by line. If damage was missed or undervalued — which happens frequently — we file a supplement on your behalf. We have extensive experience identifying items adjusters miss, including code upgrade requirements, underlayment, ice and water shield, and proper drip edge installation.
Step 5: Repairs or Full Replacement
Once your claim is approved, EFER Renovations handles all repairs or replacement work using premium materials from GAF, Owens Corning, and IKO. We work directly with your insurance company throughout the repair process and handle all insurance-required documentation at job completion.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Insurance Claims in NJ
Will filing a roof insurance claim raise my rates?
Filing a claim for storm or wind damage — which is a covered peril — typically does not raise your homeowners insurance rates the same way an at-fault claim might. New Jersey law limits rate increases for weather-related claims. However, every policy and insurer is different. We recommend reviewing your policy or speaking with your insurance agent before filing. Our free inspection helps you understand the scope of damage before you decide.
How long does a roof insurance claim take in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, insurance companies are required to acknowledge a claim within 10 business days and resolve it within 45 days of receiving all necessary documentation. A straightforward roof claim with complete documentation typically takes 3–6 weeks from initial filing to payment. Complex claims involving supplements or disputes can take longer. EFER Renovations actively manages the process to keep your claim moving.
What storm damage is covered by homeowners insurance?
Most standard New Jersey homeowners insurance policies cover damage caused by wind, hail, lightning, and falling objects. This includes damage to your roof, siding, gutters, windows, and other exterior components. Damage caused by flooding or gradual deterioration is typically not covered. EFER Renovations performs a thorough inspection to identify all storm-caused damage and document it properly for your claim.
Do I need to get multiple estimates for an insurance claim?
In most cases, no. New Jersey homeowners insurance claims are typically settled based on the insurance company’s adjuster estimate plus any supplements we file on your behalf. Having EFER Renovations present at the adjuster meeting often eliminates the need for multiple estimates by ensuring all damage is captured the first time.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
A denial is not always the final word. If your claim is denied, you have the right to request a re-inspection, file a formal complaint with the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, or pursue appraisal under your policy. EFER Renovations can help you understand your options and provide documentation to support an appeal. We’ve successfully helped homeowners overturn initial denials.
Can EFER help with both roof and siding insurance claims?
Yes. EFER Renovations is a full exterior renovation contractor. We handle insurance claims for roofing, siding, gutters, windows, fascia, and soffit — often damaged together in the same storm event. Filing a comprehensive claim that covers all exterior damage in one process is typically more efficient and ensures your home is fully restored.
