Windstorms can tear through neighborhoods in minutes—ripping shingles from roofs, toppling fences, blowing out windows, and hurling debris that causes widespread damage. These fast-moving events often lead to structural compromise, water intrusion, and damaged siding or exterior systems. Most homeowners insurance policies do cover wind damage, but the real challenge lies in how that damage is classified—and whether your insurer is willing to treat it as a full loss or just “cosmetic.”
Insurers frequently downplay windstorm damage by arguing that lifted shingles or cracked siding don’t require full replacement unless there’s visible interior water damage. Others may delay the claim, demand multiple inspections, or require proof that the storm happened during your policy period. Without strong documentation and expert evaluations, even clear damage can be minimized or denied.
At Loti, we cut through the excuses. We help you capture, document, and structure your wind claim with clarity—so insurers see what you see and can’t ignore the facts. From surface damage to hidden structural compromise, we ensure every loss is properly categorized, valued, and tied directly to storm impact.
OUR APPROACH
Windstorms—When High Winds Strike, Your Claim Needs Strength and Precision
Photograph all visible exterior damage—roof, shingles, siding, gutters, fencing, windows, and downed trees
Bring in a licensed roofer or contractor to assess less-visible structural damage, like lifted edges or torn underlayment
Document interior damage caused by wind-driven rain—such as ceiling stains, soaked insulation, or floor warping
Save meteorological reports or local storm data to confirm timing and severity of wind conditions
Request a copy of your full policy to identify deductibles, cosmetic damage clauses, and repair vs. replace provisions
Key Steps We Help You Take After A Windstorm:
We also help you dispute lowball estimates or patchwork repair offers, using contractor input, pricing databases, and line-item reviews to push for fair, complete settlements—especially when wind damage overlaps with hail, water intrusion, or falling trees.
At Loti, we know that what looks “minor” on the surface can signal major risk underneath. That’s why we fight to make sure wind damage isn’t dismissed, underestimated, or paid short. With our guidance, your claim is built on evidence—not assumptions—so you can move forward knowing your home is truly restored.
