Your Roof Insurance Claim Was Approved — Now What?

Written By Isaiah Spates

So your insurance company approved your roof replacement… What’s next?

At SGC Roofing & Construction, we know how overwhelming the post-approval process can feel. But this is exactly where having the right contractor makes all the difference — especially when it comes to maximizing your claim, avoiding out-of-pocket surprises, and getting the highest quality materials and workmanship.

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide to help you move forward with confidence:

🔨 1. Choose the Right Roofing Contractor (This Part Really Matters)

Now that your claim is approved, it’s not just about “getting a roof”—it’s about getting the best roof your policy will cover. That’s where we come in.

SGC Roofing & Construction specializes in insurance restoration, meaning we don’t just install the roof — we help ensure that everything you're entitled to under your policy is included in the claim:

  • Upgraded shingles

  • Proper ventilation

  • Code-required components (drip edge, ice & water shield, underlayment)

  • Paint, gutters, siding or interior repairs if affected

We review your insurance scope line-by-line to make sure nothing gets missed or underpaid.

📋 2. Supplement the Claim (We Handle This For You)

Your insurance adjuster may not have included every necessary component up front. That’s common — but fixable.

SGC Roofing will work with your insurance carrier to supplement the claim for any missing items. This might include:

  • Additional roof layers

  • Flashing, decking, or chimney work

  • Code upgrades required by your city

We submit documentation and photos, and negotiate on your behalf — so you don’t have to.

📆 3. Schedule the Build Day

Once everything is approved, we’ll help you select your shingle color and finalize the materials. Then we’ll get you on the schedule — and your new roof is typically installed within a day.

We coordinate everything:
✔ City permits
✔ Material delivery
✔ Professional crew
✔ Clean-up and haul-off
✔ Final inspection with photos

💯 4. Protect Your Investment with a Local, Trusted Company

Not all contractors are equal. Many storm chasers will disappear after the build — but SGC Roofing is rooted in the DFW community. We stand behind our work with strong warranties, responsive customer service, and real people you can reach anytime.

💡 Final Thought: Maximize Your Claim. Maximize Your Home.

Your insurance claim is more than just a check — it’s an opportunity to restore and upgrade your home. Let SGC Roofing & Construction help you get every dollar you're entitled to and make the process stress-free from start to finish.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
