Storm damage isn't always obvious from the ground. Hail dents, lifted shingle seals, cracked ridge caps, and bruised shingle mats don't show up from the driveway. Our HAAG-trained inspectors get on the roof and check every slope, every flashing detail, and every penetration point.
We work with every major insurance carrier in IA: State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, Nationwide, and more. Our supplement team knows Xactimate line items and fights for full replacement when your roof qualifies. If the initial estimate seems low, we document additional damage and resubmit.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Damage Assessment
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.
On-Site Adjuster Visit
Nichols Roofing & Maintenance sends an inspector to every adjuster meeting. We make sure nothing gets overlooked and that the scope of work covers all damage, not just the most visible areas. If the estimate comes in low, we supplement.
Repair or Replace
Once approved, our Nichols crew handles the repair or replacement at the insurance-agreed price. You pay your deductible. We do the work, file the completion paperwork, and you're done.
