Describe each damaged area
Use an elevation or location name and distinguish a post, panel, gate, trim piece, or other component. Include pre-loss repair records when available. Ask the contractor to state which parts need repair and why a larger replacement boundary is proposed.
Ask the insurer about classification
TDI notes that a homeowners policy may cover wind damage to fences and other structures. Do not assume it is excluded or settled like the dwelling. Request the relevant coverage, valuation, deductible, and limit explanation for the specific property.
