Roof insurance claims can feel confusing and overwhelming for most homeowners. It is hard to know what damage is covered, whether the insurance estimate is complete, or what steps to take next. Ed’s Exteriors helps homeowners through the roof insurance claim process with licensed contractor experience, licensed insurance adjuster training, Xactimate estimating knowledge, Haag roof inspection training, and over 25 years of hands-on roofing experience.
Tell us where you’re at in the insurance claim process and we’ll help you understand the next step.
Most homeowners do not deal with roof insurance claims very often, so it is normal for the process to feel confusing or overwhelming. After hail, wind, tree damage, or storm damage, you may be left wondering what is covered, whether the insurance estimate is complete, and who is making sure the roof is repaired the right way.
Ed’s Exteriors helps homeowners in North Metro MN through the roof insurance claim process by inspecting the roof damage, reviewing the insurance estimate, explaining the repair or replacement scope, and helping you understand the next step before the work begins.
Our goal is simple: help you make informed decisions, avoid missed roofing items, and move forward with a clear plan for restoring your roof.
Many contractors can help schedule roof work, but a roof insurance claim often requires more than basic project coordination. Homeowners should feel comfortable asking what real roofing experience, inspection training, estimating knowledge, and insurance claim experience their contractor brings to the table before the work begins.
A roof insurance claim is easier to understand when your contractor knows more than just how to schedule the work. Ed’s Exteriors brings together hands-on roofing experience, storm damage inspection training, insurance estimating knowledge, and Minnesota licensing to help homeowners move through the claim process with more confidence.

Haag roof inspection training helps identify storm damage, understand how shingles fail, and explain the difference between hail damage, wind damage, normal wear, and installation issues. This helps homeowners get a more accurate roof inspection before important claim decisions are made.

Xactimate is one of the main estimating programs used in property insurance claims. Xactimate certification helps Ed write roof repair and roof replacement estimates in a format insurance companies understand, making the claim review process smoother and more organized.

As a licensed Minnesota residential building contractor, Ed’s Exteriors understands the roofing work needed to properly repair or replace a storm-damaged roof. That construction knowledge helps make sure the insurance claim matches the actual work needed on the home.

Insurance adjuster training helps Ed understand how claims are reviewed, how estimates are written, and why proper documentation matters. This gives homeowners a contractor who understands both the roof damage and the insurance claim process.

Before becoming a contractor, Ed spent over 25 years working hands-on as a roofer. That real jobsite experience matters when inspecting storm damage, reviewing repair options, and understanding what it actually takes to restore a roof correctly. Ed understands more than just the shingles you can see from the ground. He understands the full roofing system, including underlayment, decking, flashing, ventilation, starter shingles, ice and water barrier, valleys, pipe boots, roof penetrations, and the hidden details underneath the shingles. That kind of knowledge comes from years of tearing off, repairing, installing, and troubleshooting roofs in real Minnesota weather conditions.

"We had a great experience with this company. Edward Hirsch was involved when they replaced the roof on our old house and did an awesome job, so he was our first call when we needed an inspection on a new house we were buying.Edward came out again and did a really thorough job with the inspection. He pointed out a few important details that our regular home inspector missed, which gave us a lot of peace of mind during the buying process. It’s hard to find contractors you can trust, but Edward really knows his stuff and is always reliable. Highly recommend!"Posted on Google John GreeneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ed and his team are awesome. They helped us with a big insurance claim on our house. We had two other contractors get involved before that, and Ed made them look like amateurs. Communication was great. He was extremely helpful with the claim process, and most importantly their work was all top notch. I used to build homes, and now work with contractors professionally so I’ve seen a lot. We also loved that Ed and his daughter work as a team. Solid people, solid work!Posted on Google Corey McCracken ReMaxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Every roof insurance claim is a little different, but the goal is always the same: inspect the damage, review the insurance estimate, document anything missing, and make sure the repair or replacement scope is clear before the work begins.
We inspect the roof for hail, wind, tree, leak, or storm damage and take photos of the areas that may need repair or replacement.
If you already have an insurance estimate, we compare it to the actual roof damage and look for missing roofing items, code items, accessories, or repair details.
When needed, we provide photos, notes, measurements, and an Xactimate estimate to help support the roof repair or replacement scope.
Once the claim scope is approved, Ed’s Exteriors can complete the roof repair or replacement and make sure the work is done correctly.
