The Relentless Advocate: How The Roof Champion Fights for Homeowners’ Insurance Claims
The Relentless Advocate: How The Roof Champion Fights for Homeowners’ Insurance Claims
Introduction: Why Insurance Companies Deny Claims (And How Homeowners Can Fight Back)
Filing an insurance claim for hail damage should be simple—your roof is damaged, your insurance company covers the cost, and you get a new roof. Unfortunately, many homeowners quickly realize that insurance companies are not in the business of making things easy.
This is exactly what happened to Jon Curry. His home suffered hail damage, but when he filed a claim, it was initially denied. Many homeowners might have given up at that point, but Jon had something many don’t—a relentless advocate in The Roof Champion, Travis Haessly.
“He persisted in lobbying for another inspection, certain that there was damage that was initially missed.”
Jon’s experience highlights a critical issue in the insurance industry—claims are often denied simply because homeowners don’t have an advocate fighting for them. In this blog, we’ll explore why insurance companies deny claims, how The Roof Champion fights back, and what homeowners can do to ensure they get the coverage they deserve.
Why Insurance Companies Deny Hail Damage Claims
Most homeowners assume that if their roof is damaged in a storm, their insurance company will automatically approve repairs or replacements. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
Here are the most common reasons insurance companies deny hail damage claims:
1. The Adjuster Says “The Damage Isn’t Severe Enough”
Insurance adjusters often claim that the damage is minor and does not require a full roof replacement. They may approve a small patch job rather than covering the full cost of a new roof.
💡 How The Roof Champion Fights Back:
✅ Conducts a comprehensive roof inspection to document the actual extent of the damage.
✅ Uses drone and thermal imaging technology to identify damage that insurance adjusters often overlook.
✅ Compiles detailed reports to demonstrate that the damage warrants a full replacement.
2. The Insurance Company Claims “Pre-Existing Damage”
Some adjusters will argue that the damage existed before the storm and isn’t covered under the policy.
💡 How The Roof Champion Fights Back:
✅ Provides before-and-after evidence using images, weather reports, and expert analysis.
✅ Challenges incorrect assessments by proving that the damage was caused by the specific hailstorm.
3. Delays, Bureaucracy, and Homeowner Fatigue
Insurance companies know that many homeowners give up when faced with months of back-and-forth communication.
💡 How The Roof Champion Fights Back:
✅ Handles all communication with the insurance company, saving homeowners from frustration.
✅ Follows up relentlessly, ensuring the claim isn’t forgotten or delayed indefinitely.
✅ Uses legal deadlines to force insurance companies to act within state-mandated timeframes.
“This was a process that took many months, many calls and emails, and a lot of Travis' time and effort. He would not relent.”
Without Travis’s persistence and expertise, Jon’s claim would have remained denied, forcing him to pay out-of-pocket for his repairs.
Jon Curry’s Story: Turning a Denied Claim into a Full Roof Replacement
Jon’s experience reflects a story that plays out for thousands of homeowners every year.
His home sustained hail damage, and he did everything right—he contacted his insurance company, filed a claim, and expected a fair resolution.
🚫 Denied.
His insurance company refused to approve the full replacement, claiming the damage wasn’t significant enough. But Jon was lucky—he had The Roof Champion in his corner.
✅ Travis refused to accept the denial.
✅ He demanded another inspection, knowing the damage was real.
✅ He spent months communicating with the insurer, providing proof, and pushing the claim forward.
Finally, after months of relentless effort, Jon’s insurance company reversed their decision.
“He guided us through the confusing process, which eventually led to a full roof replacement.” (Read Jon's review on Google)
Jon didn’t just get a claim approved—he got a new roof fully covered by insurance, without having to pay out-of-pocket for damage that should have been covered in the first place.
This is what makes The Roof Champion in Ohio different from other contractors—he fights for his customers.
