What happens after you call Robust Roofing about a claim in Gainesville

  1. Free inspection. Robust Roofing inspects the roof itself and photographs every slope, so you know whether there is damage before you file.
  2. You file the claim. You report the damage to your insurance company with the storm date; this map's storm pages help you find the date of loss.
  3. Adjuster meeting. Robust Roofing's licensed Property and Casualty adjuster meets your insurance company's adjuster at the house and points out the damage.
  4. Scope and supplements. Robust Roofing writes the repair scope and submits supplements for missed items with photos and line-item support.
  5. Build day. Most average-size roofs are torn off, installed and cleaned up in one day, with a 50-year labor warranty in writing.
  6. Your deductible. You pay your deductible; Robust Roofing never pays or waives one, because Georgia does not allow it.

Coverage decisions stay with your insurance company under your policy, and Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 10-1-393.12) does not allow a roofing contractor to represent you or negotiate your claim; a roofer documents and supports it.
