When to loop us in
The strongest claim files include a written pro assessment before the first adjuster call. We turn those around in 48 hours and share directly with the carrier.
Photos adjusters actually want
Adjusters ask for: wide shot of the affected area with a reference object, close-up of the damage, opposite-side shot showing intact structure for comparison, and one photo of any prior roof inspection report or invoice.
Typical claim outcomes on Cambridge policies
Sudden events (storm, animal, appliance failure) usually settle at $209–$334 minus deductible. Gradual wear (freeze-thaw over years) is almost always denied — document the triggering event carefully.

Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
How long does roof inspection take in Cambridge?
45–75 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
