FAQ

Common MetLife claim questions

Will MetLife cover hail damage to my gutters?

Yes — sudden hail and wind damage to gutters is typically covered under most MetLife homeowners policies in Kansas City. You'll be responsible for your deductible (commonly $1,500-$2,500 standard in the KC area). Gradual wear, age-related sagging, and maintenance neglect are NOT covered.

How long does a MetLife gutter claim take in Kansas City?

10-14 business days standard. Larger claims or disputed estimates take longer. Major KC storm events can stretch timelines to 30-45 days.

What documentation do I need for MetLife?

Photographs of every damaged section with date stamps, your policy number, the date of the damaging event, and a contractor's written estimate. Premier provides photos and written estimate at no cost.

What's the most important MetLife tip?

If your policy came from a workplace benefit program, mention that when calling — there's a separate claim track that's often faster.

What if my MetLife settlement is too low?

Request a supplement. Provide your contractor's detailed line-item estimate and request the adjuster increase the settlement. Premier provides the detailed estimate that justifies the supplement at no charge.

Can Premier Gutters KC bill MetLife directly?

Usually no — settlement check is paid to you (and your mortgage lender if applicable). You then pay Premier when work completes.
