5 Things To Do Before You Replace Your Roof

1. Get your roof inspected. Do you due diligence to ensure that it actually needs to be replaced, and not just patched. You could save yourself thousands of dollars on this step depending on what you decide. Check out our blog on this topic to learn a bit more:

2. Call your insurance company. You’ll want to verify if they will help pay for it or provide some sort of financial rebate, and also if they need you to document anything specific for their records. At Eads Roofing, we provide free insurance assessments to the greater Indianapolis and Kokomo areas. If you've been affected by wind, hail or storm damage, call us to schedule your free assessment so that you can provide this to your insurance company.
