Temecula, CA
Storm damage, insurance and what to do first
Most storm claims are lost on documentation, not on damage. Photograph everything before anybody touches the roof.
Or call (951) 466-2546Describe the storm damage job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Temecula contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Temecula and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a storm damage job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Photographs of the damage before any work happens
- What the emergency tarp costs, separate from the repair
- A local address you could actually drive to
- A written scope you can put in front of an adjuster
- Whether the contractor is licensed and insured in this state
Damage that matters is often invisible from the ground. Bruised shingles, lifted seals and hairline mat fractures fail years later, long after the claim window has closed.
If the adjuster and the contractor disagree, ask for the contractor to be present at the re-inspection. It changes the conversation.
Photograph the outside, the inside, and the date. Then get a tarp on it. An adjuster can work with photographs of the original damage; they cannot work with your description of what it looked like before the repair.
Locally
Close behind that: wind-blown embers landing in the valleys. Class A assemblies and closed-off vents matter more here than the colour of the shingle.
About storm damage here
Do you handle commercial buildings?
We do. It is a different set of contractors — commercial and low-slope work is a separate trade from residential re-roofing — so answering the property question accurately matters.
What happens to my information?
It goes to a maximum of three roofing contractors working in Temecula, and to nobody else. We do not sell it as a mailing list and we do not post it anywhere public. Our privacy policy sets out exactly what is shared.
Do you cover the whole Riverside County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Temecula and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
How quickly will someone call?
Usually within the hour during working hours. If you marked the job as an emergency it goes to the front of the queue and is normally picked up faster than that.
