Step-by-Step Insurance Claims Process
Here's how the insurance approval process works for storm damage roofing in Pittsburgh, PA. We guide you through each stage.
Document the Damage
After a storm, take photos and videos of any visible damage to your roof, siding, and gutters. Note the date and time of the storm. Don't make any permanent repairs yet — temporary tarping is fine to prevent further damage.

We'll come out and inspect your roof system, flashing, shingles, gutters, and siding. We document everything with detailed photos and notes so you have clear evidence for your claim.
File Your Insurance Claim
Contact your homeowner's insurance company to open a claim. Provide the date of the storm, a description of the damage, and the documentation from your inspection. Your insurer will assign a claim number.
Insurance Adjuster Visit
Your insurance company will send an adjuster to evaluate the damage. We can be present during this visit to walk through the damage with the adjuster and make sure nothing is missed.
Review Your Claim Approval
Once the adjuster completes their report, your insurance company will send a determination. We'll help you understand what's covered and explain the scope of work needed to restore your roof.
Repairs & Restoration
After approval, we schedule the work. Roof repair, roof replacement, siding, gutters — whatever is needed. We handle the project from start to finish with clean job sites and clear communication.
Common Insurance Questions
How long do I have to file a claim after a storm?
Most insurance policies have a window (often 1–2 years), but it's best to file as soon as possible. The sooner you document the damage, the stronger your claim.
Will my insurance cover the full roof replacement?
It depends on the extent of the damage and your policy. Some policies cover full replacement, while others cover repairs. We'll help you understand what the adjuster's report says and what your options are.
Do I need to pay anything out of pocket?
You'll typically be responsible for your deductible. Beyond that, your insurance should cover the approved repairs. We'll walk you through the numbers before any work begins.
Can Del Cid Construction help if my claim is denied?
If your claim is denied, we can provide additional documentation and a second inspection report. Many denied claims get approved on appeal with better evidence.
