FAQ
How long do I have to file a wind damage insurance claim in Colorado?
Colorado law gives homeowners two years from the date of a hailstorm or windstorm to file a property insurance claim, thanks to the 2023 amendment to C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8. However, your individual policy may require you to provide prompt notice of the loss, so report the damage to your insurer as soon as possible—ideally within 24 to 72 hours—to avoid any coverage disputes.
What documentation do I need before a Colorado wind damage adjuster visits?
Before the adjuster arrives, photograph and video every affected area including roof shingles, siding, gutters, fences, and any detached structures. Create a written inventory of damaged personal property with estimated values, collect receipts or serial numbers where available, and save any emergency repair invoices. Colorado's Front Range winds can cause hidden soffit and fascia damage, so also note any interior water intrusion that appeared after the storm, as this strengthens your claim.
