When a storm rolls through El Cerrito, El Cerrito Roofing & Maintenance mobilizes immediately. Emergency tarping within 24 hours for exposed decking. Full inspection and documentation within 48 hours of the storm. Insurance claim filed within the week. We move fast because storm damage gets worse with every rain.
We work with every major insurance carrier in CA: State Farm, Allstate, USAA, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, Nationwide, and more. Our supplement team knows Xactimate line items and fights for full replacement when your roof qualifies. If the initial estimate seems low, we document additional damage and resubmit.
Our Storm Damage Repair Process
Roof Inspection
We inspect every slope, flashing point, and penetration for storm damage. Hail hit counts per test square, wind lift patterns, and granule displacement, all documented with photos and measurements your adjuster will accept.
Claim Documentation
Our office prepares the claim package: photo evidence, damage scope, material specifications, and repair estimate in Xactimate format. We file with your carrier and track the claim through to adjuster assignment.
On-Site Adjuster Visit
Your adjuster gets a guided tour of the damage by our inspector. We speak the same language: hail hit classification, wind speed thresholds, manufacturer warranties voided by damage. This meeting is where claims get approved.
Repair or Replace
Once approved, our El Cerrito crew handles the repair or replacement at the insurance-agreed price. You pay your deductible. We do the work, file the completion paperwork, and you're done.
