There isn’t a catch. You pay insurance premiums to protect yourself from financial loss. Roofwell inspects your roof for storm damage. We inspect your roof for damage and, if we find any, we meet with the insurance adjuster to show the drone footage of what we found — down to every detail. This ensures nothing is missed or ignored. Ultimately, your insurance adjuster decides to approve or deny the claim.

Your free drone inspection typically takes 20 minutes. You do not need to be home for the inspection. We schedule an appointment that's convenient to you to show you the report and what we found. 

We do not need to get onto your roof to inspect it — that's the beauty of this process. Roofwell uses advanced drones paired with storm damage detection software.

No, the lifetime warranty for your shingles covers manufacturers defects. Insurance protects your investment from storm damage. 

Storm damage can occur to a roof of any age. 

No, there was nothing you could have done to prevent the storm. You did not place your home under its path, and there’s nothing you can do to prevent future storms either. Homeowner insurance premiums are determined by the damage caused by recent storms and the risk of future storms. Premium increases are by geographic region, not an individual homeowner’s claim.

Most insurance policies require the policy holder to report suspected damage to prevent further damage.

You or your contractor needs to be present if there is interior damage or to your structure or property. It's very important that one of our expert roof technicians meets your insurance adjuster at your property to act as your advocate. We will make sure all storm damage is documented and you receive everything your insurance policy provides.

Under most homeowner policies, your only out-of-pocket cost will be your deductible. If you choose to make upgrades to your roof, you will be responsible for the cost of the upgrades.

Sentry Roofwell replaces the entire roof. Typically, the insurance company either pays to replace all of the shingles or denies the claim completely.

Most insurance policies cover shingles of like type and quality. You may pay the difference to upgrade the shingle.

No, it's not necessary. Insurance companies create their estimates using standardized pricing data from local, reputable contractors. Homeowners should be extremely cautious of low estimates. What's more, a contractor who offers to submit an incorrect invoice is potentially committing insurance fraud. Your roof cannot be correctly replaced to manufacturer's specifications or building codes for below the insurance company’s estimate. Additionally, the insurance company will keep any difference between its estimate and a contractor's lower estimate — the homeowner does not get to pocket the difference. Insurance companies may leave some items off their initial estimate until the proof of completion has been submitted by the contractor. This proof is called a supplement.

Yes, most homeowners will use the credit card that provides the most cash back or points.
