Notice of Completion

Insurance companies require proof of completed repairs before releasing your recoverable depreciation. Here's the paperwork most carriers want to see:

  • Final Invoice
  • Photos of Completed Work
  • Certificate of Completion
  • Contractor Invoice
  • Homeowner Documentation (if you completed the repairs yourself)

Your contractor usually submits this paperwork for you. Doing it yourself? You can typically upload these documents directly to your insurance company or email your adjuster. ApproveMyRoof walks you through this process step-by-step.
