After a storm hits Southgate, getting a proper inspection is critical. Most insurance policies in MI have a 12-month filing window for storm claims. Southgate Roofing & Maintenance provides free inspections, thorough documentation, and handles the claim process so nothing slips through the cracks.
Not all storm damage qualifies for a full replacement. Hail might only affect one slope. Wind might only lift shingles on the windward side. We document exactly what's damaged and let the insurance company make the call. Honest documentation gets claims approved. Inflated reports get denied and blacklisted.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Free Storm Inspection
We inspect every slope, flashing point, and penetration for storm damage. Hail hit counts per test square, wind lift patterns, and granule displacement, all documented with photos and measurements your adjuster will accept.
Claim Documentation
Don't call your insurance company cold. Let us inspect first so the claim includes complete documentation from day one. Incomplete initial filings lead to underpayment. We file it right the first time.
Adjuster Meeting
Your adjuster gets a guided tour of the damage by our inspector. We speak the same language: hail hit classification, wind speed thresholds, manufacturer warranties voided by damage. This meeting is where claims get approved.
Repair or Replace
Insurance-approved repairs done by manufacturer-certified crews. Same quality materials and installation standards as any other Southgate Roofing & Maintenance job. Your storm-restored roof gets the same warranty as a standard replacement.
