This is the Zebulon page for roof insurance claim help. The short version: you want to understand whether they have a claim and to not get steamrolled by the adjuster, and you can have it without a salesperson at the door.
Get a written quoteAerial measurement plus a five-minute history of the house beats a drive-by estimate in an area this varied. Real estate activity drives a lot of the roofing here — pre-listing inspections, buyer credits, and insurance-driven replacements right after closing. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain.
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.
Building code in coastal counties was tightened after Hurricane Florence; a replacement roof built to current wind provisions can mean a real difference at renewal, not just a formality.
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.

Zebulon is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
