Oklahoma City Roofer, American Roofing & Exteriors, Steps Up to Help Residents Weather May 29th Storm

OKLAHOMA CITY, June 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "When storm damage hits, it's easy to be lured in by the money-saving promises that many 'storm chasers' offer. We show homeowners the benefit of using a licensed contractor who can guarantee their work and walk them through the insurance claim process from start to finish," says Matt Woods, President of American Roofing & Exteriors.

When severe hail storms ripped through the Oklahoma City area on May 29, 2012, many of the residents were left, not only with the worry of the uncertain damage that occurred to their homes, but also the looming fear of tackling the insurance claim process.

So far this year, American Roofing & Exteriors has helped hundreds of families repair damage from recent storms. While doing so they helped build understanding among homeowners about the insurance claim process, the amount of time allowed to file a claim after the damage has taken place and, perhaps most importantly, how the homeowners should expect to be paid by the insurance for their claim.

Along with extensive hail damage, storms tend to bring with them an abundance of "storm chasers" from out of state -- contractors who are either unlicensed or misrepresenting themselves as a local contractor and leaving homeowners with no long-term guarantee once the work is finished. "We stress to our customers the importance of using a licensed contractor. In states that require a license, anyone can find out if a contractor is licensed by checking their state's website. Whoever you select, it should be a contractor that can not only guarantee their work, but one that makes themselves available for any concerns you have once the work is complete," explains Matt Woods, President of American Roofing & Exteriors.

For repairs on your property from storm damage or for more information on the insurance claim process, homeowners are urged to call American Roofing & Exteriors at 405-235-7663 or 1-800-766-3161 immediately, or visit http://www.americanroofingandexteriors.com.
