What is storm restoration?
The business of repairing or replacing roofs damaged by storms, paid for primarily through insurance claims rather than out of pocket.
Storm restoration is roofing work driven by insurance claims after hail, wind, or other storm damage. Instead of the homeowner paying for the roof directly, the insurance carrier covers most of the cost minus the deductible.
It’s a different game from retail roofing. The job runs on a claims timeline, the scope is set by an adjuster, and getting paid depends on documentation, supplements, and following the claim from inspection all the way to the final depreciation check.
Because the money flows through insurance, storm restoration roofers live and die by their process. The crews that track every claim, photo, and supplement collect more — on the same number of roofs.
