Roofing Insurance Claims
in New Jersey

Most NJ homeowner's insurance policies require claim filing within one year of the damage event — though some policies have shorter windows. We recommend scheduling a damage inspection within 30 days of any significant NJ storm event to ensure qualifying damage is documented before the claim window closes, regardless of whether damage is visible from the ground.

Step 1: Free drone inspection and damage documentation within 24–48 hours. Step 2: Claim filed with complete documentation package. Step 3: Adjuster inspection attended by our team. Step 4: Initial settlement reviewed and supplemental claims filed for any missed items. Step 5: Certified restoration completed to GAF Master Elite standards with full warranty registration.

Your insurance policy pays for restoration to pre-storm condition — material and labor costs for the damaged roofing system. You pay your deductible — the fixed amount specified in your policy that applies to every claim regardless of size. Our claims management service costs nothing additional beyond the standard restoration project cost that the insurance policy covers.

Wind damage from Nor'easters and storm lines, hail impact damage, storm damage from debris and sustained weather events, and smoke or fire damage all qualify as covered events under most NJ homeowner's policies. We assess and document all qualifying damage categories — not just the most visible single item — to ensure the claim captures the full scope of storm impact.

Yes. NJ law gives homeowners the right to choose their own licensed contractor for insurance restoration work. The insurance company can recommend a preferred contractor but cannot require you to use one. You are entitled to use any licensed NJ contractor — including US Roofing & Siding — for the restoration work covered by your policy.

We file supplemental claims for every NJ homeowner whose initial settlement undervalues the documented damage. Supplemental claims require specific documentation and knowledge of NJ policy language — we provide this service at no additional cost as part of our standard claims management service. Supplemental claims recover meaningful additional settlement value on a significant percentage of NJ claims.

Most qualifying roofing damage in NJ — shingle seal failures, flashing displacement, granule impact bruising from hail — is visible only from the roof surface level, not from the ground. A drone inspection documents this damage at the resolution and angle that NJ adjusters require for accurate assessment. Adjusters who inspect only from the ground consistently miss damage that a drone inspection captures — creating the documentation gap that leads to underpaid initial settlements.

Yes. We attend the adjuster's site inspection for every NJ insurance claim we manage and walk through our documented damage items in person. Our presence ensures that every qualifying damage item receives adjuster evaluation rather than being excluded because it was not pointed out during the inspection. This single step is one of the most effective ways to increase the accuracy of the initial settlement.
