Get a written quoteOlder metal roofs on rural properties are common, and the failure point is almost always the fastener gaskets, not the panels. Class 4 shingle still pays for itself on the fringe because carriers price by county, not by how often your particular street gets hit. Most construction here dates from the '80s and '90s, so roofs are on their second cycle and carriers increasingly want to see a replacement date.
What it costs in Stone Mountain: 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.
Georgia has no law banning assignment-of-benefits agreements the way Florida does, so read anything a roofer asks you to sign before a claim is filed — you can get an inspection and file a claim without signing away control of it.
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.
