Whether it\u2019s a tropical storm or full-blown hurricane, screen enclosures are often the first part of your home to suffer damage.

Here’s a clear guide to help you move forward confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right after the storm passes and it\u2019s safe to go outside, inspect your entire screen enclosure. Look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take clear, timestamped photos and video from different angles. These visuals are essential for supporting your insurance claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s tempting to fix things fast\u2014but resist the urge to start major repairs until your insurance adjuster has seen the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Insurance companies may deny a claim if they can’t verify the original damage, so let them document it first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every policy is different, but here are a few things to look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re unsure, call your insurance agent and ask directly: \u201cIs storm damage to my lanai or pool cage covered under this policy?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n After documenting everything, contact a reputable local screen company for a written estimate.
