How Public Adjusters Can Help with Denied Roof Claims
Dealing with a denied roof insurance claim can be frustrating, especially when your home has sustained serious damage. Whether it's storm damage, aging materials, or roof leaks, many homeowners find themselves in disputes with their insurance companies over what is and isn’t covered.
If your insurance provider undervalues or denies your claim, a public adjuster can help. Public adjusters work on your behalf—not the insurance company—to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
At Gemsco Roofing & Solar, we understand the challenges homeowners face when dealing with insurance disputes. That’s why we not only offer expert roof repair, roof replacement, and solar panel installation, but we also provide alternative solutions, such as our Green Roof Energy Program. This program helps homeowners get a new roof or repair at no cost using solar incentives and the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC).
If your roof claim was denied, here’s how a public adjuster can help you fight for the coverage you deserve.
1. What Is a Public Adjuster?
A public adjuster is a licensed insurance professional who represents you—not the insurance company—in handling your claim. Their job is to:
Assess and document your roof damage
Review your insurance policy to determine what should be covered
Negotiate with the insurance company for a fair settlement
Handle all the paperwork and claim filing process
Unlike insurance adjusters, who work for your insurance company, public adjusters work exclusively for you.
2. When Should You Hire a Public Adjuster?
A public adjuster can be beneficial in many situations, but they are especially helpful if:
✅ Your claim was denied – If your insurance provider refuses to cover necessary roof repairs, a public adjuster can dispute the decision.
✅ Your settlement is too low – If the amount offered doesn’t fully cover your roof replacement or repairs, a public adjuster can push for a higher payout.
✅ The claim process is too complicated – If you’re unsure about insurance policies, deadlines, and documentation requirements, an adjuster can handle everything for you.
✅ You’re dealing with extensive damage – If you have a complex claim involving storm damage, leaks, or the removal and reinstallation of solar panels, an adjuster ensures that nothing is overlooked.
3. How a Public Adjuster Can Help With a Denied Roof Claim
Step 1: Reviewing Your Denial Letter
A public adjuster will carefully examine your denial letter to understand why your claim was rejected. They will check for errors, missing documentation, and any potential bad faith practices by the insurance company.
Step 2: Conducting a New Roof Inspection
A thorough independent roof inspection is key. Public adjusters will:
📷 Take detailed photos and videos of the damage.
📑 Create a comprehensive damage report to submit to your insurer.
🔎 Identify overlooked issues, such as hidden leaks or missing shingles, which might have been dismissed by the insurance adjuster.
If your home has solar panels, they will also assess whether solar panel removal and reinstallation costs should be included in your claim.
Step 3: Negotiating With the Insurance Company
Public adjusters are skilled negotiators. They fight on your behalf to ensure that your insurance company honors your policy and pays for necessary repairs or replacement.
Step 4: Securing a Fair Settlement
With a public adjuster advocating for you, homeowners often receive higher payouts that fully cover their roofing needs.
