Case Study: Garland Roofing Insurance Claim Denied, Then Approved

A Garland Texas homeowner contacted CLC Roofing Inc. looking for a new estimate for a full roof replacement. His first roofing insurance claim was denied, using another roofing contractor. CLC Roofing Inc. arrived to complete a new and thorough roof inspection and assessment of the property. Subsequently, CLC discovered roof damage and other problems that had not been reported properly to the insurance carrier.

After a thorough roof inspection, CLC delivered the homeowner new evidence of storm damage to present to the insurance carrier. Most importantly, the new information justified a re-inspection. A new roof inspection conducted by the insurance adjuster confirmed the new damage. Finally, the homeowner got a full roof replacement claim approved, as well as collateral damaged items.
