After wind, hail, or storm damage, the goal is simple: protect your home, document the damage clearly, and restore your roof the right way. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights helps homeowners throughout Rhode Island navigate the insurance process with a thorough inspection, clear communication, and a roof system that’s rebuilt to today’s requirements—not just patched and left vulnerable.
Storm damage is easy to miss from the ground. We perform a professional, no-pressure inspection to identify storm-related issues like lifted shingles, punctures, flashing damage, compromised seals, granule loss, gutter impacts, and leak pathways. If damage is present, you get straightforward next steps.
When your claim moves forward, your carrier assigns an adjuster to assess the loss. We meet on-site to review the damage together, answer reconstruction questions, and confirm the roof scope reflects what’s required to restore the full roofing system.
In Rhode Island, many homes need more than a “repair it like it was” approach. When a roof is replaced, portions of the system often must be brought up to current standards. We’re familiar with Rhode Island requirements and manufacturer specifications, and we build roofs to meet today’s expectations for performance and protection. If code-required items apply to your project, we identify and document them so the scope supports a proper, compliant restoration.
We’ve worked with insurance companies for years. That experience matters. You get a team that understands how carriers request information, how timelines move, and how to keep communication organized so your claim and project don’t stall.
We create thorough inspection notes, photos, and a detailed written assessment of what’s needed. Our goal is to keep you informed with a clear, homeowner-friendly plan while also providing the documentation your insurance process may require. (We do not hand homeowners the same estimating format used between carriers and adjusters—we focus on clarity, scope, and getting the roof rebuilt correctly.)
If storm damage is allowing water intrusion or creating vulnerable areas, stopping further damage is the priority. We recommend practical mitigation steps immediately so the home stays protected while the claim progresses.
Note: Coverage, deductibles, and depreciation are determined by your insurance policy. For policy-specific questions, refer to your policy documents or your agent.
When a storm damages your roof—or a long-hidden problem finally shows itself—the last thing you need is an insurance claim that turns into a headache.
The claims process can feel confusing and time-consuming, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ll walk you through each step, help keep everything organized, and provide the documentation your carrier may request—so your claim stays on track and the funds you’re entitled to go toward getting your roof properly repaired or replaced.

1) What should I do first after my home sustains storm damage?
After a storm, make sure you’re safe. Take photos or videos of the damage, document everything, and contact Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights for an immediate inspection and emergency tarping. Then, call your insurance company to file a claim.
2) Does my homeowners insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Most policies cover wind, hail, and storm-related damage. Coverage can vary based on your policy’s specifics. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights can help you understand your coverage and assist with the claims process.
3) How do I know if my roof has storm damage?
Visible damage like missing shingles, dented gutters, or water leaks inside the home can be signs. However, some damage, such as hail impact or wind-lifted shingles, may not be immediately visible. Pinnacle Roofing offers a free storm damage inspection to evaluate your roof.
4) Will filing a storm damage claim increase my insurance premium?
Filing a claim for storm-related damage (e.g., wind, hail, or fallen trees) typically won’t raise your premium since it’s not due to homeowner negligence. However, every insurance company handles this differently, so it’s best to check with your insurer.
5) How does the storm damage insurance claim process work?
Once you file a claim, the insurance company will send an adjuster to inspect the damage. We will work directly with the adjuster to ensure your damage is properly documented and covered. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights will handle everything, from the initial inspection to final repairs.
6) What’s the difference between an ACV and RCV claim for storm damage?
ACV (Actual Cash Value) pays for the depreciated value of the roof or damaged property. RCV (Replacement Cost Value) pays the full cost of replacing the roof with no depreciation. We’ll explain the difference and help you understand your policy when you file a claim.
7) Do I need to wait for the insurance adjuster before making temporary repairs?
No. You can make temporary repairs, such as tarping the roof or boarding up windows, to prevent further damage. Keep receipts for any materials you purchase as part of your claim process.
8) How long does it take to process a storm damage insurance claim?
Claim processing time can vary depending on the severity of the damage, your insurer’s timeline, and the availability of adjusters. On average, the process can take 2–4 weeks, but we’ll guide you and keep you updated every step of the way.
9) Can I choose my contractor for storm damage repairs?
Yes, you have the right to choose your contractor. Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights works with all major insurance carriers and will handle the entire claims process, including supplemental claims and inspections, ensuring your repairs are covered.
10) How do I know if the storm damage claim estimate from my insurance company is accurate?
Insurance estimates can sometimes be too low. We’ll help you review your adjuster’s estimate and, if necessary, submit a supplement with detailed documentation, photos, and code requirements to ensure everything is covered.
11) What if my insurance estimate doesn’t cover all the damage?
If the initial estimate is incomplete or inaccurate, we will submit a supplemental claim to your insurance company. We provide detailed reports, photos, and measurements to show the full scope of the damage.
12) Are roofing and siding damage included in my storm damage claim?
Yes, roofing and siding can both be covered under your storm damage claim if the damage was caused by a covered event, such as hail or high winds. We will work with your insurance company to ensure your roof, siding, and other affected areas are included.
13) What should I do if my storm damage causes water leaks inside my home?
First, try to contain the water to prevent further damage by using buckets, towels, or plastic sheeting. Then, contact Pinnacle Roofing & Skylights to assess the damage and get emergency repairs done quickly. We will help coordinate repairs with your insurance company.
14) Can I upgrade my roof during a storm damage insurance claim?
Yes, you can upgrade materials (e.g., to impact-resistant shingles or a metal roof) during your claim. Insurance will cover the cost to replace your roof to its pre-damage condition, but you’ll be responsible for paying the difference for any upgrades.
15) Are code upgrades included in my storm damage claim?
Code upgrades (such as ice and water shield, ventilation improvements, or additional flashing) are typically not included unless your insurance policy has Ordinance or Law coverage. We will identify and present any required code upgrades to ensure compliance.

Delaying your claim can lead to complications. Insurance policies often have time limits, usually 30–60 days after the storm, to file a claim. Prompt reporting ensures better coverage and faster repairs.
18) Does storm damage insurance cover gutters, windows, and skylights?
If the storm causes direct damage to gutters, windows, or skylights (e.g., from hail or falling debris), they are typically covered. We will assess the damage and work with your insurance company to include these items in the claim.
19) How much will my storm damage repairs cost after my deductible?
