If you have Storm Damage to your property your first steps should be to a secure the property and mitigate any further damages from occurring.  This is often done by placing tarps on the roof and/or boarding up broken windows.   Once you have protected your property from further damages, your next call should be to a reputable Public Adjuster.  You don’t need to assign all of your rights away to some roofer that knocked on your door, or any other restoration contractor that may be hard selling you on why you need to hire them to help with your claim.  They can not help with your claim, if they do, they could be in violation of UPPA, unauthorized practice of public adjusting.  There is a reason for these laws and they can really hurt your claim and often their sole goal is to get your claim into litigation.  This will often times muddy the waters moving forward with your claim.  A qualified and experienced Public Adjuster will ensure that all required services are taken care of, while protecting your interests.

Storm damage is not always as it appears, there are often hidden damages and the loss may be more than it appears which is why it is always best to, at a minimum, consult with a Public Adjuster to ensure you are moving in the proper direction.
