Insurance Coverage for Roof Replacement and Repair

If your roof has been damaged by hail, it’s important to know if your insurance policy covers the cost of repairs or replacement. Homeowners insurance typically covers these costs, but the extent of coverage can depend on the age and condition of your roof, the size of the hail, and the terms of your policy. We’ll help you understand your policy and ensure you get the maximum benefit from your claim.

Wind and Hail Damage: What’s Covered?

In addition to hail damage, your home insurance policy may also cover wind damage. This is particularly important as hail storms are often accompanied by strong winds. We’ll help you assess all the damage to your home, ensuring that both hail and wind damage are properly documented and claimed.
