This is the Canton page for denied roof claim help. The short version: you want a second opinion after the carrier said no or paid too little, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteThose roofs are hitting 15 to 20 years now, and insurers are asking about them at every renewal. Most homes here went up in the 2000s building boom, when production builders installed the least expensive shingle that met code. Roof surface payment schedules and ACV roof endorsements are showing up on renewals across Central Texas; read the declarations page before assuming a claim will fund a new roof.
On cost: reinspection is free from our partners; if the dispute escalates to appraisal or a public adjuster, those are paid from the recovery, not up front.
The Georgia Office of Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner regulates claims handling and is the right place to file a complaint if a carrier is dragging its feet on a documented claim.
How it works
Ask for the report and photos. Get a roofer with claims experience to document the storm-specific damage the adjuster didn't attribute. Request a reinspection with your roofer present. Most reversals happen at this step.
A process in most policies where you and the carrier each hire an appraiser and a neutral umpire settles the difference. It's faster and cheaper than litigation, and roofers can't do it for you — a public adjuster or appraiser can.
