What you get from us

Thorough documentation. Honest construction.

You own the claim. Our job is to document the damage thoroughly and build the repair right.

Free damage inspection

Roof, siding, gutters and interior checked before you file.

Photo documentation

Every hail hit, crease and leak photographed and organized.

Detailed estimate

A line-item repair estimate in the format insurers use.

Adjuster inspection

With you present, we can attend the adjuster's inspection and show what we documented.

Hidden damage documented

If rot or damaged decking turns up during the job, we photograph it and share it with you.

One crew for the whole scope

Roof, siding, gutters and interior work under one contractor.

Straight talk about Minnesota lawMinnesota law does not allow a roofing contractor to negotiate your claim for you or waive your deductible, and anyone who promises that is a red flag. We document the damage, provide the estimate and build it right. Settling the claim is between you and your insurer (or a licensed public adjuster).
How it works with your insurer

You get one contractor and one point of contact.

After a storm you'll hear from your insurer, an adjuster, maybe a mortgage company. We keep the construction side simple: we document, we estimate, we build, and we keep you updated with photos the whole way.

  • You pay your deductible — nothing hidden
  • Photo updates at every stage
  • Clean job site and a final walkthrough

How it works

Insurance claim process in four steps.

Inspect

Free inspection and photo report before you call your insurer.

File

You file the claim with your insurer; we send them our documentation.

Adjuster visit

With you present, we can attend the inspection and show our documentation.

Build

Once your claim is settled, we schedule, build and walk the finished job with you.

Know your coverage

Same storm. Same roof. Very different out-of-pocket.

Many Minnesota policies no longer pay full replacement cost on roofs. See how RCV, ACV and roof payment schedules change what you'd pay, with real-number examples.

★★★★★He worked with our insurance and subcontractors making the process smooth for us, resulting in a new roof, new siding and some new windows, costing us only our deductible for an over $100,000 job.

★★★★★Mike came to do an assessment. He caught concerns others had missed. He was professional and polite but very kind. I would recommend him 100%.

★★★★★Mike stopped by soon after I contacted Repair King to ask for an estimate on a leaking porch roof. He took the time to inspect the area and explain all the options and give advice for next steps.

Questions

Straight answers.

Will insurance pay for my new roof?

If a covered event like hail or wind damaged your roof, your policy may pay for repair or replacement minus your deductible. The amount depends on your policy and the damage your adjuster documents.

Do I call my insurance company or a roofer first?

Get a free inspection first. It tells you whether there's enough damage to file, so you don't open a claim for nothing.

Can you pay or waive my deductible?

No. Minnesota law requires you to pay your deductible, and a contractor who offers to cover it is breaking the law. We'll always be upfront about what you owe.

What if my claim is denied or the amount is too low?

Talk to your insurer or agent about their process. You can share our photo report and estimate with them, and a licensed public adjuster can represent you if you want help with the claim itself.
