The Reality
What Really Happens After a Storm in Springfield
Within hours of a hailstorm, your neighborhood fills up with trucks from companies you've never seen before. They knock on your door, tell you your roof is destroyed, and pressure you to sign a contract on the spot.
Here's what they don't tell you:
That signature often gives them the rights to your insurance claim. Their “free inspection” is really a sales pitch. The crew they send may be unlicensed, uninsured, and from out of state. And when problems show up six months later? The phone number is disconnected. They've moved on to the next storm in the next state.
Meanwhile, homeowners who file claims on their own run into a different problem. Insurance adjusters are overworked after major storms. Damage gets missed. Claims get underpaid. Or they get denied altogether, and you're stuck wondering how your neighbor got a full replacement while you got a letter saying “insufficient damage.”
It doesn't have to work this way.

Our Approach
We Don't Chase Storms. We Protect Homeowners.
Here's exactly what happens when you call Complete Coverage after a storm.
We Inspect -- Thoroughly and Honestly
We get on your roof and assess every inch of it -- shingles, flashing, vents, gutters, siding. We take detailed photos and document everything. If there's damage, we show you exactly what we found. If there isn't, we'll tell you that too. No charge either way.
We Show You What We Found
We sit down with you and walk through the photos and findings. No jargon, no scare tactics. Just a clear, honest explanation of your roof's condition and what we recommend. You'll know exactly where you stand before making any decisions.
We File the Claim With You
If the damage warrants an insurance claim, we help you file it. As your contractor on-site, we provide the documentation your insurance company needs -- damage reports, photos, repair scope. You're the policyholder. We're your expert support.
We Meet Your Adjuster On-Site
When your insurance sends an adjuster, we're there -- arriving 30 minutes early to walk the damage before they do. We make sure nothing gets missed and that the adjuster sees the full scope of what needs to be repaired. This is where having an experienced contractor by your side makes the biggest difference.
We Review the Paperwork Together
Once insurance sends their determination -- what they'll pay for and what they won't -- we review it with you. If the scope is fair, we move forward. If damage was missed or the payout is short, we help you push back with the right documentation.
Design Meeting, Materials, Build
Once everything is approved, we do a design meeting to finalize your material selections, colors, and timeline. We order materials, schedule the build, and get your roof replaced -- supervised on-site by a Complete Coverage project manager. Then we walk the finished project with you and hand you your 8-year workmanship warranty.
Denied Claims
Insurance Said No? We Don't Walk Away.
Getting a denial letter from your insurance company feels personal. You've paid your premiums for years. You see your neighbors getting new roofs. And you're told there's “insufficient damage” or “normal wear and tear.”
Here's what most roofers won't tell you: a denied claim is not always the final answer. Insurance adjusters are human. They miss things. They get overloaded after major storms. And sometimes the criteria they use is subjective.
Here's what most roofers won't do: stick around to help you fight it.
Complete Coverage specializes in this. We review your denial, re-inspect your roof with fresh eyes, and prepare the documentation needed to get your claim reconsidered. We meet with the new adjuster on-site to make sure every piece of damage is seen and recorded.
What About Damage From a Previous Insurance Policy?
Sometimes your roof was damaged during a storm that happened when you had a different insurance carrier. Your current insurer denies the claim because the damage predates your policy with them. That doesn't mean nobody will pay.
Complete Coverage can help investigate when the damage likely occurred and work with your previous carrier to file a claim under the policy that was active at the time. This is a legitimate process that most homeowners, and most roofers, don't even know is an option.

Common Questions
Insurance Claims Can Be Confusing. Let's Clear Things Up.
Not all storm damage is visible from the ground. Hail can bruise shingles without breaking them, and wind can loosen flashing without tearing it off. If a significant storm came through your area -- especially with hail quarter-sized or larger -- we recommend a professional inspection. We do them for free, and we'll show you photos of what we find.
Most Missouri homeowners insurance policies give you one to two years to file a claim after storm damage. However, the sooner you file, the better -- damage can worsen over time, and insurance companies may question delays. We recommend getting an inspection within a few weeks of any major storm.
A denial isn't always the final word. Insurance adjusters can miss damage, especially after major storms when they're processing hundreds of claims. We can re-inspect your roof, prepare additional documentation, and help you request a re-evaluation. We've helped homeowners get denied claims reconsidered by providing the evidence the first adjuster missed.
Yes -- your deductible is your financial responsibility under your insurance policy. Be cautious of any contractor who offers to 'cover' or 'waive' your deductible. That's insurance fraud, and it can result in your policy being cancelled. At Complete Coverage, we do things the right way.
We work alongside you, not instead of you. You're the policyholder -- that's important. What we do is provide expert support: documenting damage, filing claims with you, meeting your adjuster on-site, reviewing the paperwork, and pushing back when the payout doesn't cover the full scope of damage. You stay in control. We make sure you have the expertise behind you.
This is more common than people realize. If your roof was damaged during a storm that occurred under a previous insurance policy, your current carrier may deny the claim. We can help investigate when the damage likely occurred and coordinate with your previous insurer to file under the correct policy. It's a legitimate process -- and it's one of our specialties.
