Hi, my name is Michael and I am a sales consultant from Storm Support Services. We help people get roof replacements for free through their insurer when their homes have been damaged by hail. Through extensive experience, we are experts in our field and hold your insurer accountable for everything you are entitled to. We help lodge and manage the claim, make sure everything is covered under QBCC regulations and refer the builder to do the work. Because of this, we do not charge for the services and even offer to cover $500 of your excess when you make the claim.
