How the claim works
Call us first, and a roofer documents the hail damage for your claim. Take photos and video of the damage before anything is moved, then file as soon as you can.
Colorado law is on your side. A roofer may not pay or waive your deductible. If the insurer denies the claim, Section 6-22-104 lets you cancel a contract paid from insurance within seventy-two hours of the written denial. Section 6-22-103 adds a second cancel rule: you can cancel and get “a full refund of any deposit within seventy-two hours after entering the contract”.
Never sign the insurance check over to a roofer, the FTC warns.
