Repair or replace?

The insurer determines what the policy covers. Your contractor documents what the building needs. When those differ, the resolution is a documented, itemised conversation - not a promise of a particular outcome.

2. Report the claim
3. Independent inspection and written scope
4. Adjuster inspection

6. Work, supplements if required, and final documentation

What affects the cost

Virginia-specific considerations

Offers to waive, rebate or absorb your insurance deductible should be treated as a serious warning sign. Concerns about insurer or contractor conduct can be raised with the Virginia Bureau of Insurance or the Attorney General's consumer protection office.

Questions to ask contractors

• Will you provide an itemised scope I can share with my insurer?
• How do you handle a difference between your scope and the adjuster's?
• Do you ask customers to sign anything that assigns claim rights? (Read it carefully if so.)
• Are you licensed in Virginia, and what is your license number?
• Can you provide a current certificate of general liability and workers' compensation insurance?
• Who pulls the permit, and which jurisdiction issues it?
• What is included in the written scope - underlayment, flashing, ventilation, decking allowance and disposal?
• What warranty covers workmanship, and what covers materials?
• Who will be on site each day, and is the crew employed by you or subcontracted?
