Get a second look. A denial isn't always the final word. Many denials come from missed or under-documented damage. Peak One Restorations offers a free re-inspection to help you understand what's on your roof and document what we find. For homeowners in Logan, Union, Shelby, Wyandot and Auglaize counties whose storm-damage roof claim was denied or came back lower than the damage they see. ## Common reasons claims get denied or underpaid ### Wear and tear rather than storm damage An insurer may identify aging or deterioration rather than damage from a covered storm. The cause of the damage matters under your policy. ### Missed hail or wind damage Damage on a roof slope or around roof components may not have been identified during the first inspection. ### Incomplete photos or repair details Photos may not show all affected areas, or the original scope may leave out parts of the repair needed for the damage. ### An unclear damage date If the timing of the damage is unclear, the insurer may need more information to connect it to a storm and the applicable policy period. ## What Peak One does ### A free re-inspection We take a second look at your roof to identify storm damage and distinguish it from other roof conditions. ### Photos and written documentation We document the storm damage we find with photos and written findings you can share with your insurer. ### A detailed repair scope We describe the full repair needed for the damage we document, so you have a clear record of the work involved. ### An adjuster re-inspection meeting If you request a re-inspection from your insurer, we can meet the adjuster and explain our findings on-site. ## What you do as the homeowner Request a re-inspection or re-evaluation from your insurer in writing and share Peak One's photos, written findings and repair scope. Check your policy and claim letter for deadlines, and keep a copy of what you send. ## Documentation, not claim representation We document damage and meet your adjuster. We don't negotiate your claim for you. That stays between you and your insurer, or a licensed public adjuster. ## What happens next 1. 1 ### Call or send a request Tell Peak One your roof claim was denied or underpaid and request a free re-inspection. 2. 2 ### We re-inspect your roof We check the roof and explain the damage and conditions we find. 3. 3 ### You receive documentation We provide photos, written findings and a detailed scope of the repair. 4. 4 ### You send it to your insurer Ask for a re-inspection or re-evaluation in writing and share our documentation. 5. 5 ### Adjuster re-inspection If your insurer arranges another inspection and you request our attendance, we meet the adjuster to explain the documented damage. ## Denied or underpaid roof claim FAQs Can a denied roof claim be reopened?
