A successful insurance claim payout for a roof can be easy, but is often challenging. An insurance company’s primary form of income is dependent upon investing money from insurance premiums. Because of this innate relationship with the unpredictable stock market and economy, in general, insurance companies can be more reluctant to pay insurance claims during bad times, and more willing during good times. In some cases, roofing contractors may request the assistance of other licensed professionals, such as appraisers, adjusters, and attorneys in order to get insurance companies to cover the cost of roof repairs.
