Key Takeaways
- Local conditions: The Shenango Valley catches enough lake reach to build genuine eave ice most winters without the full snowbelt totals Erie sees. Split-level rooflines dump the upper plane onto the lower one, and the transition flashing at that step is the leak point we repair most often in Sharon.
- Service area: Sharon and Mercer County. Direct line (412) 428-8403.
- Documentation: written scope up front and photographs throughout, which is what an adjuster needs.
- Licensing: registered Pennsylvania contractor — permits pulled and inspections scheduled as part of the job.
Do I actually have storm damage?
Hail and wind damage is frequently invisible from the ground, which is why so much of it goes unclaimed until the roof starts leaking years later. What an adjuster is looking for:
- Hail bruising — soft spots where the mat is fractured and granules have been knocked loose. Roughly 1 inch hail and up will bruise an asphalt shingle; smaller stones can still damage soft metals.
- Creased shingles from wind lift — the crease breaks the mat even when the shingle lays back down.
- Granule accumulation at downspout outlets after a storm.
- Collateral evidence — dented gutters, soft metal vents, damaged fascia, dinged siding. Adjusters use these to date and confirm the event.
We inspect free and tell you straight whether there is a claim worth filing. Filing without damage helps nobody.
How does the claim process actually run?
- Inspection and documentation — we photograph every elevation and every damaged component before anything is filed.
- You file the claim with your carrier. We never file on your behalf, and no contractor should.
- Adjuster meeting — we meet them on site with our documentation so nothing gets missed while they are up there.
- Scope review — we compare their estimate against what the job actually requires and what code requires.
- Supplement — missed line items are submitted against the carrier price list, with photographs and code citations.
- Work and completion — then depreciation is released once we certify completion.
ACV, RCV and depreciation — what do they mean for your cheque?
On a replacement cost policy the carrier pays in two parts. The first cheque is actual cash value, which is the replacement cost minus depreciation and minus your deductible. The recoverable depreciation is held back and released after the work is finished and documented.
That is why a first cheque looks alarmingly small, and it is why completion documentation matters — the withheld amount is yours only if the work is completed and certified, usually within a deadline stated in your policy. On an actual cash value policy there is no second cheque, so knowing which you have before you start matters.
We are a contractor, not a public adjuster or your carrier. Coverage decisions are made by your insurer under your policy language.

Roof Insurance Claims in Sharon — common questions
Will filing a claim raise my rates?
+
A single weather claim is treated differently from at-fault losses, and carriers vary. Ask your agent before filing — it is a fair question and they have to answer it.
Do you waive my deductible?
+
No, and neither should anyone else. The deductible is your obligation under the policy, and waiving or absorbing it is insurance fraud.
What if my claim is denied?
+
A denial can be reconsidered with better documentation, and you can request re-inspection. We supply the photographs and code citations; you can also involve your state department of insurance.
How long do I have to file?
+
Policies set their own deadlines, commonly one year from the date of loss, and repairs often must complete within two years to recover depreciation. Check your policy and do not sit on it.
Do you charge for the inspection?
+
No. Inspection, documentation and adjuster meetings are free.
