This is the Lago Vista 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 quoteThis is the housing age where a roof decides whether a policy renews, making a pre-renewal inspection cheap insurance against a non-renewal letter. Original tile roofs from the '80s and '90s are reaching underlayment failure now, and that's a lift-and-reset or full replacement, not a tile repair. Test-square counts before the adjuster arrives are what win reinspections — eight or more strikes per hundred square feet is the threshold most carriers use.
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.
Your carrier has a set period to acknowledge, investigate, and pay a claim under the Texas Prompt Payment of Claims Act, and a contractor who documents damage well makes that clock work in your favor.
How it works
For a large disputed claim, often yes. They take a percentage of the recovery. For a straightforward claim with clear damage, a good roofer's documentation is usually enough.
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.
