Assisting an Insurance Claim and Restoring a Lightning-Struck Roof
The Problem
In July 2022, Kevin Nicolini experienced a once-in-a-lifetime event: lightning struck his house! The lightning created a hole that went all the way through the drywall of the interior. Chris Rojas was called out to inspect the damage and do an emergency tarp of the hole. While there, Chris discovered additional damage to the roof, including lifted shingles from wind damage, cracked shingles, and exposed, rusting nails that had not been properly maintained.
The Solution
Chris recommended that Kevin file an insurance claim to get the roof replaced as a simple repair on the hole caused by the lightning was not the proper solution. Rojas Roofing also sent in a sample of the shingles and confirmed that they were discontinued, meaning that there would be no match available to attempt a spot repair. Kevin’s insurance originally denied the full claim, giving Kevin only a small amount to do the spot repair. Rojas Roofing took the claim to supplementation, providing evidence that the full roof needed to be replaced. In the end, Kevin’s full roof was approved by insurance!
