When a storm rolls through, it doesn't give you time to research contractors for weeks. You need someone local who knows the insurance claim process, will tell you exactly what your roof needs, and will still be around if anything comes up after the job is done. At Timber Exteriors, we built this business around one idea: put the homeowner first and let the work speak for itself. That means free estimates, financing options, and an approach to insurance claim support that keeps you informed rather than confused from the first call to the final inspection. The rest of this page walks you through exactly how we work and what you can expect when you call us out to your Coon Rapids home.
Timber Exteriors started in the northwest metro because this is where we live and where we intend to stay. Every decision we make on a jobsite can be tied back to one question: would we be comfortable if this were our own home? That standard is why we do full system replacements instead of patch jobs, why we walk adjusters through damage documentation ourselves, and why we do not leave until our triple magnetic sweep is complete. Timber's Promise means we stay local, act loyal, and never leave a nail behind.

Licensed Where You Live: Timber Exteriors is fully licensed and insured in Minnesota and Wisconsin. You can verify our license, request our insurance certificate, and feel confident knowing exactly who is standing behind this work.
No-Obligation Inspections: Every storm damage assessment is free. We come out, document what we find, and give you a straight answer about what your roof needs and whether an insurance claim makes sense. No contingency agreement required to get an honest opinion.
Financing Available: Insurance covers most of a storm damage replacement. When it does not cover everything, or when you are managing a deductible on a tight month, we don't leave you hanging. We would rather find a way to get your home protected than lose you to a cheaper contractor who cuts system components to hit a number.
Here's a hint, we handle the hard part. Navigating your insurance claim can be a frustrating time, but you don't have to go about it alone. After successfully handling nearly 1000 insurance claims, from every carrier imaginable, our expert team of project managers will be with you every step of the way. From initial inspection to filing, your adjuster meeting to your first ACV check, your dedicated Timber Exteriors representative will be there to answer your questions every step of the way.
Initial Damage Assessment: We come out and inspect your roof the way it should be inspected. We are looking at every layer from shingles to ventilation. If the damage does not support a claim, we will tell you that directly rather than push you into a process that does not benefit you.
Extensive Photos and Documentation: We capture detailed photos and compile them into a clear report. Good documentation speeds up the claims process and protects you if questions come up later.
Manage Your Adjuster Meeting: We show up with you so you're not standing on your roof alone trying to point out hail bruises to a stranger. Having an experienced contractor present ensures the adjuster sees everything, not just what's easy to spot from the ground.
Explain Estimates & Supplementation: Insurance estimates aren't always complete on the first pass. We review your claim and identify anything that was missed or undervalued. If your scope of work needs to be supplemented, we handle that conversation so you don't have to.
Transparent Claims Timelines To Fit Your Schedule: We walk you through every step so you always know where your claim stands and what's coming next. No chasing contractors for updates. We keep you informed from first inspection to final repair.

Learn MoreNot all hail and wind events cause damage worth claiming, and filing a claim that does not hold up can affect your insurance history. The honest answer is that you need a contractor on your roof before you call your insurance company, not after. At Timber Exteriors, we inspect every surface component including shingles, flashings, gutters, and pipe boots and document what we find with photos before we discuss next steps. If the damage does not meet the threshold for a valid claim, we will tell you that directly. If it does, we will walk you through what to expect before you make the call.
In most cases, yes, if the damage is documented properly and the claim is filed correctly. Minnesota homeowners with standard HO3 policies typically have wind and hail coverage, though deductibles and depreciation schedules vary by policy. The scope of loss document your adjuster issues is not always complete on the first pass. We review every scope of loss and supplement the claim if items were missed or undervalued. The goal is a fair settlement, not a fast one.
Storm chasers are out-of-state contractors who follow hail and wind events into affected neighborhoods, knock on doors, pressure homeowners into signing contingency agreements, and have developed a reputation of collecting insurance money before the work is properly completed. They tend to show up fast, offer numbers that seem too good, and have no permanent local presence or verifiable review history. A legitimate local contractor has a physical address, verifiable licensing, insurance you can confirm, and references from jobs in your actual neighborhood.

Not necessarily. A single weather-related claim is generally treated differently than an at-fault claim by most carriers. Your rates are more likely influenced by your zip code's broader claim history than by one individual storm event. That said, every policy is different and it is worth a conversation with your agent before filing.
Our inspections, storm damage evaluations, and adjuster meeting assistance are complimentary. If your claim is approved and you choose Timber Exteriors for the work, we will finalize the project agreement and complete the approved restoration scope using the insurance proceeds, less your deductible.
