Contractor Advocacy

What is Insurance Claim Assistance?

Insurance claim assistance is contractor-led guidance designed to ensure property owners receive full financial coverage for storm-damaged roofs, standing seam metal systems, gutters, and metal fencing. Insurance company adjusters work on strict tight schedules and often miss hidden hail impact bruising or under-calculate local Omaha labor and material costs.

At Vargas & Sons Construction, we utilize industry-standard Xactimate estimating software (the exact software insurance carriers use) to generate comprehensive line-item scopes. We attend the adjuster inspection with your insurance carrier to ensure zero damaged items are left off your claim summary.

How We Work

Our 4-Step Insurance Claim Workflow

We guide you from initial storm inspection to final payment check release:

Step 1: Free Digital Damage Inspection

We inspect your roof, metal roof, gutters, and fence, documenting all hail hits with high-resolution photos.

Step 2: Claim Reporting & Adjuster Scheduling

We assist you in reporting the storm claim to your insurance carrier and schedule an on-site adjuster walk-through.

Step 3: On-Site Adjuster Representation

We meet your adjuster on top of your roof, compare test squares, and ensure all code items and deck repairs are approved.

Step 4: Roof Build & RCV Check Release

Once approved, we install your new roof, submit final completion photos, and collect the remaining RCV check from insurance.

Financial Guidance

Understanding ACV vs. RCV Insurance Checks

First Check: ACV (Actual Cash Value)

Your insurance provider issues an initial ACV check representing the current depreciated value of your old roof minus your deductible. This funds initial project material orders.

Second Check: RCV (Recoverable Depreciation)

Once Vargas & Sons completes full roof replacement and submits final proof of completion, your insurance company releases the remaining recoverable depreciation check.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Insurance Claims

No. Hail and wind damage claims are classified as "Act of Nature" loss events beyond homeowner control. Insurance carriers cannot single out individual homeowners for rate increases due to storm claims.

If an adjuster misses damaged items or under-funds replacement costs, Vargas & Sons submits a formal supplemental claim with high-resolution photos, Xactimate line items, and local Omaha building code requirements to get omitted items approved.

Your only out-of-pocket responsibility for a covered storm claim is your policy deductible. Vargas & Sons works directly from your insurance scope price so there are no unexpected out-of-pocket costs.

Yes! We can apply your approved insurance shingle claim payout toward upgrading your home to a standing seam metal roof or Class 4 impact shingles. You simply pay the difference for the material upgrade.

From initial inspection to claim approval typically takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on your insurance carrier. Once approved, Vargas & Sons completes actual roof replacement in just 1 to 2 days.
