 Hey there, roofers and general contractors! Ever heard the saying, "Out of sight, out of mind"? Well, that can be a recipe for disaster – especially when it comes to hail damage to your roof vents Why Vents Matter More Than You Think Think of your roof vents as the lungs of your attic. By releasing hot air and moisture, they stop your roof from becoming a hot and stuffy space. But damaged vents mean trapped heat and humidity. This unfortunately turns your roof into a prime spot for mold and mildew to thrive. Mold and Mildew: The Silent Stinkbombs Damp and darkness create the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. Unvented attics become a breeding ground for mold and mildew, like a luxurious vacation destination for these unwelcome guests. But unlike a resort, their presence isn't relaxing. Mold and mildew release allergens and irritants that can trigger various health problems, such as:

In our previous blog, we discussed the importance of depreciation and the necessary documents needed to ensure that your client gets the money that is owed. It was also pointed out that the depreciation time frame varies from one insurance company to another and depends heavily on the policy. What happens if roofers or general contractors can meet the deadline? Let’s Discuss It is not a secret for roofers and general contractors how complex and time-consuming the insurance claims process can be. One common hurdle is doing all the repairs before the deadline set by insurance companies – because not meeting the deadline means compromising the release of the remaining depreciation funds. When this happens, both homeowners and you are faced with the problem of paying expenses out-of-pocket, something that the insurance policy could have covered. Insurance companies know that certain things affect production, such as:
As roofers and general contractors, it becomes your responsibility to help homeowners inform insurance companies about the delays in repairs within the given timeframe. Here is where insurance claim extensions play an important role. What is an Insurance Claim Extension? Insurance Claim Extension is a request made to insurance companies for additional time to complete repairs on a property that has been struck by a covered peril. This ensures that depreciation will still be released even after the deadline. How to Request for an Extension? In general, the process of requesting a claim extension depends on the homeowner’s policy and insurance, and so a thorough review of what the policy states is of great importance to ensure some details that could affect the claim process do not fall into the cracks. Contacting insurance companies in a timely manner and knowing the medium to contact them also plays a crucial role in requesting for extension to ensure that your customer is paid for what they are owed. Our team at Claim Supplement Pro conducted research in April 2024 to gather information about the common process of claim extensions across various insurance companies. It is important to note that the data shared here is subject to change over time and is generalized. It may not specifically apply to your insured’s policy. Reviewing what the policy states or checking in with the claim adjuster for additional information needed in requesting an extension or if an extension could be granted is still necessary. Rest assured that we will keep you updated through our blog posts for any important changes The table below shows the process for requesting a claim extension from some insurance companies.
As the table suggests some insurance companies do not allow extension at all. While some do, the process can be tedious and it certainly takes some of your time away from doing what you have to to complete repairs. How Can Claim Supplement Pro Help?
