Idaho Weather Can Be Brutal on Roofs
From summer hailstorms to winter ice and wind, Idaho's weather takes a toll on roofing systems. After severe weather, an inspection can help identify visible roof damage and repair needs. Response timing depends on conditions and crew availability.
Contact One Truss to ask whether an inspection or estimate is available for the visible roof conditions at your property. Your insurer determines coverage and payment.

Information for an Insurance Conversation
If you file a claim, your insurer reviews the policy and damage to determine coverage and payment. A contractor can provide information about observed roof conditions and proposed repairs, but cannot determine or guarantee the claim outcome.
- Ask what visible-condition notes or photos may be available
- Ask whether coordination with an insurer or adjuster is within the current scope
- Confirm whether the proposed scope includes a written estimate
- Review the contractor's written scope and ask questions before authorizing work
- Discuss policy coverage and claim questions with your insurer
