Roof Insurance Claims and Storm Damage Documentation in Abilene, TX
When your roof is damaged by hail, wind, or severe weather, understanding the condition of your roof is one of the first steps toward making repair or replacement decisions. Bunton Roofing provides roof inspections, storm damage documentation, photographs, measurements, and repair estimates for homeowners throughout Abilene and the Big Country.
If your insurance company requests information regarding roof damage, our inspection findings and documentation can help homeowners better understand the condition of their roof and the recommended scope of work.
Below is an overview of the roof damage inspection process and what homeowners can expect after a storm.
Step-by-Step: The Roof Insurance Claim Process
1. Inspect for Damage After a Storm
After a storm hits, your first priority is safety—but once the skies clear, you should have your roof inspected as soon as possible. Damage isn’t always visible from the ground.
This is the perfect time to call Bunton Roofing.
We'll perform a free inspection to determine whether storm-related roof damage is present and provide documentation of our findings.
2. Document the Damage
Take clear photos of any visible issues (missing shingles, dents, leaks, etc.). We’ll also provide detailed documentation and an estimate that you can submit with your claim.
3. File Your Claim
Contact your insurance company to start the claims process. They may ask for a copy of the roofing estimate, so having our documentation ready can speed things up.
4. Meet the Insurance Adjuster
Your insurer will send out an adjuster to assess the damage. Bunton Roofing can be available during the inspection to answer roofing scope questions, discuss our findings, and review documented roof conditions.
5. Review the Insurance Offer
Once your claim is approved, the insurance company will provide a payout based on your policy terms—either for the full replacement cost (RCV) or the actual cash value (ACV), minus depreciation. We'll help you understand our roofing estimate, recommended repairs, and documented storm damage.
6. Repair or Replace Your Roof
Once your insurance settlement is finalized, it’s time to get the work done. Bunton Roofing uses high-quality materials and local expertise to restore your roof efficiently and professionally.
Understanding Your Deductible (And What Not to Do)
Texas law (HB2102) prohibits roofing contractors from waiving your deductible. If a contractor offers to “cover” or “forgive” your deductible—it’s illegal and a major red flag.
At Bunton Roofing, we operate with full transparency. We’ll help you understand your deductible and offer fair, competitive pricing that fits within your insurance payout.

Right after the storm and before making roof repair decisions.
We'll assess the roof, document any storm-related damage, and provide photographs, measurements, and repair recommendations.
From initial inspection to final nail, we’re with you the whole way.
