Roof Damage
When the unexpected happens, we help individuals and businesses collect the money they deserve for their insurance claims.
Roof damage can lead to costly repairs, temporary living arrangements, and serious disruptions. However, the state's laws regarding roof damage claims have recently changed, creating new limitations that can affect homeowners' ability to get fair compensation. This change means it’s important to act quickly if you notice signs of roof damage. If your roof has been damaged, it's important to know how these laws impact your claim and what steps you should take to protect your rights.
