Get a written quoteSubdivisions from this era were roofed in phases, so when neighbors start replacing, the same clock is running on yours. Ventilation standards were looser then; adding ridge vent and clearing soffit intake during a replacement usually pays back in shingle life. Older metal roofs on rural properties are common, and the failure point is almost always the fastener gaskets, not the panels.
On cost: there is no fee to the homeowner for inspection and claim documentation — the roofer is paid from the approved claim, and your out-of-pocket is the deductible.
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
The carrier's adjuster inspects the roof and writes a scope. Having your roofer present means damage doesn't get missed and the scope is argued on the spot rather than by letter later.
A request for additional payment when the adjuster's scope missed items — code upgrades, drip edge, ice-and-water shield, or damage found once the roof is opened up. Common and legitimate.
