Insurance Claim Support

Claims Made Less Confusing

_

Most homeowners file roof insurance claims without really knowing what they’re entitled to. As a faith-based, GAF Certified™ contractor serving Alpharetta, Cumming, Milton, Sandy Springs and the surrounding North Georgia area, we help you understand your damage, your policy, and your options before and during the claim — documenting everything properly, meeting your adjuster on-site, and making sure nothing legitimate gets overlooked. We don’t chase claims that aren’t there; we make sure real ones are handled right. If you are not yet sure you have a claim at all, start with whether insurance covers a roof replacement in Georgia. If you are unsure where you stand, begin with a roof inspection for an insurance claim.

  • Free damage inspection & documentation
  • On-site adjuster meetings
  • RCV vs. ACV explained plainly
  • Denied-claim second opinions

When We Can Help With a Claim

If any of these sound familiar, a free inspection and claim review can save you time, money, and stress.

  • Your roof was hit by a recent hail or wind storm
  • An insurer denied your roof claim
  • You're unsure what your policy actually covers
  • An adjuster's estimate seems low
  • You don't know RCV from ACV
  • A storm-chaser pressured you into filing
  • You have a leak and want to know if it's covered
  • You're overwhelmed by the claim paperwork

How Our Insurance Claims Process Works

_

1. Free Inspection

We inspect and photograph all damage to build a solid claim file.

2. Honest Estimate

We explain what’s likely covered and what to expect — honestly.

3. Adjuster Meeting

We meet your adjuster on-site and advocate for a fair, complete scope.

4. Repair & Close-Out

We complete the approved work and back it with our workmanship guarantee.

What Roof Damage Documentation Includes

_

Most roof claims are not won or lost on whether damage exists. They are won or lost on whether the damage was recorded in a way the insurer can act on. An adjuster covers a lot of properties in a day, and what does not make it into the file generally does not make it into the settlement. That holds whether you are replacing a roof or repairing a storm-damaged roof.

What we photograph

We work slope by slope rather than taking a general set of roof photos. That means the shingle field on each elevation, close-ups of any bruising, granule loss or creasing, and the direction impacts are coming from — wind and hail leave a pattern, and the pattern is part of the evidence. We also photograph the things adjusters treat as corroborating: granule accumulation in gutters and downspouts, dents in soft metals like vents, flashing and AC fins, and any interior ceiling staining or attic moisture where there is access. Every photo is dated.

What you receive

A written report with the photographs laid out by location, described in plain language instead of trade shorthand, and organized the way a claim file is read rather than the way a roof is walked. It is yours to keep and yours to submit, whether or not we do the repair. If there turns out to be no storm damage, you still get the report — documentation that the roof was sound on that date is worth having if a claim is ever questioned later.

Backed by GAF Certification

Approved Work, Done to Code

When your claim is approved, the repair or replacement is only as good as the contractor doing it. As a GAF Certified™ contractor (ID #1157905), we complete insurance work to manufacturer standards with materials that qualify for enhanced GAF warranty coverage — so your covered roof is also a roof that lasts.

  • Work completed to GAF standards
  • Materials that qualify for warranty
  • Clear documentation for your insurer

Understanding RCV vs. ACV

Replacement Cost Value (RCV) policies pay to replace your roof with like materials; Actual Cash Value (ACV) policies subtract depreciation. Knowing which you have changes your out-of-pocket cost dramatically. We’ll read your situation and explain it in plain English — on most approved claims you pay only your deductible.

Insurance Claims FAQ

_
Do you help with denied roof insurance claims?

Yes. A denial isn’t always the end. We’ll re-inspect, document anything that was missed, and give you an honest second opinion on whether it’s worth pursuing a reinspection or appeal — or whether going retail is the smarter move.

What's the difference between RCV and ACV?

RCV (Replacement Cost Value) pays to replace your roof with like materials; ACV (Actual Cash Value) deducts depreciation, so it pays less. Which one you have significantly affects your out-of-pocket cost. We’ll explain exactly where you stand.

Will you meet my insurance adjuster?

Yes. We meet your adjuster on-site so the damage is reviewed accurately and the scope of work is fair and complete. It’s one of the most valuable things we do for homeowners.

How much will I pay out of pocket?

On most approved claims, your out-of-pocket cost is your deductible. We’ll confirm the specifics based on your policy and the approved scope before any work begins. If a claim is denied or only partly approved, here is how to pay for a roof replacement when insurance won’t cover it.

Do you charge for a claim inspection?

No. Roof inspections and claim assessments are free. We’ll tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth filing before you do anything.

Can you just do the work retail if I skip insurance?

Absolutely. If a claim isn’t the right path, we’ll give you a straightforward retail estimate to repair or replace your roof — no claim required.

Can I take the photos myself?

You can, and it is worth doing if you notice damage before anyone gets out to you — photos taken soon after a storm establish timing. Stay on the ground. Most roof damage that matters to a claim is not visible from ground level anyway, which is why an inspection usually follows. Send us what you have and we will build the rest of the file around it.

How many photos does an insurance company need?

There is no fixed number, and volume is not what carriers are looking for. What matters is coverage: every slope represented, close-ups tied to wider shots showing where on the roof they came from, and corroborating detail like gutters and soft metals. A focused set that documents each elevation is more useful than a large set of similar close-ups with no context.

What if the damage happened months ago?

It is still worth having documented. Older damage can be harder to attribute to a specific storm, and Georgia policies carry filing deadlines that vary by carrier — so the sooner it is recorded the better. But “a while ago” is not automatically a dead claim, and an inspection will tell you whether there is a case worth making. We will give you a straight answer either way.

We recently had our roof replaced and had a really great experience. Since it was our first time replacing a roof we appreciated how they explained everything and made the process easy for us. The team was professional, friendly, and right on schedule. Our new roof looks great and we are really glad we chose them. We’d definitely recommend them to our friends and family!

I recently had Encompass Roofing Solutions replace my roof, and I had a great experience. They were very customer-focused without ever being pushy or using a hard sell. They worked with me on the timing and were flexible around my schedule, which I really appreciated. The work quality was excellent, and the finished roof exceeded my expectations. They handled the whole process professionally, and it was much easier than I expected. I would definitely recommend Encompass Roofing Solutions to anyone looking for a roofing company that cares about their customers and does quality work.

I had an excellent experience from the beginning to the end of the roofing of my home. The owners Chris and Ellis went above and beyond to make sure that I was completely satisfied which was greatly appreciated. These two gentlemen are very trustworthy and honor their word, and I had a very good knowledge base for the scope of work as a result of them being thorough in their explanation of the process involved with the care and attention of also protecting my home’s exterior throughout the process. I would recommend them with the confidence to handle any roof roofing scope of work.

Encompass Roofing was a great company to work with through the whole process. Ellis and Chris stopped randomly at our house while working another house in the neighborhood and explained how we could get a new roof and gutters for the cost of our deductible, all based on a hail storm we had the prior summer. Sounded too good to be true, but it’s actually the best thing I could have done for our 15 year old house…! I’d highly recommend them for their attention to detail and timely communication.

Ellis and Chris did an excellent job throughout the entire process, from the initial inspection to completion of our roof and gutters replacement. They communicated effectively with our insurance adjuster from the filing of the initial claim to approval of any supplementals required. The work was completed efficiently without any issues.
