Storm damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Hail dents, lifted shingle seals, cracked ridge caps, and bruised shingle mats don't show up from the driveway. Our HAAG-trained inspectors get on the roof and check every slope, every flashing detail, and every penetration point.
Our storm damage process is straightforward: free inspection, full photo documentation, direct filing with your insurance carrier, meet the adjuster on-site, and handle the repairs once the claim is approved. We don't ask for money upfront on insurance claims. You pay your deductible and insurance covers the rest.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Free Storm Inspection
Within 48 hours of the storm, our inspector is on your El Portal roof. We check for hail impact, wind-driven shingle lift, cracked ridge caps, and any penetration failures. A full photo report is provided regardless of whether damage is found.
Insurance Claim Filing
Don't call your insurance company cold. Let us inspect first so the claim includes complete documentation from day one. Incomplete initial filings lead to underpayment. We file it right the first time.
Adjuster Meeting
El Portal Roofing & Maintenance sends an inspector to every adjuster meeting. We make sure nothing gets overlooked and that the scope of work covers all damage, not just the most visible areas. If the estimate comes in low, we supplement.
Storm Restoration
Once approved, our El Portal crew handles the repair or replacement at the insurance-agreed price. You pay your deductible. We do the work, file the completion paperwork, and you're done.
