Roof Insurance Claims

Home Insurance Policies usually cover roof damage caused by vandalism, fire, or natural disasters such as tornadoes and/or hurricanes, aka roof storm damage. Whether or not they will cover costs for any damage caused by extreme winds, rain or hail is determined by the policy you put into place and the overall age of your roof. It is always the best course of action to contact your insurer as soon as you notice damage because the timeframe your insurance company gives you to file a claim often depends on the damage itself and the policy the company has in place which can lead to more insurance roof replacement questions.

Can I file a roof insurance claim for fire or animal damage in addition to roof storm damage?

In the majority of cases yes you can, however, it depends on what exactly your current homeowners policy covers. Many policies claim that if your roof is older than a specific age such as 20 years, then the roof is considered to be past its life expectancy so make sure you know what yours is set at. When this happens, the insurance company can only opt to pay the depreciated value or in some cases nothing at all. Another cases in which you would be denied is if it is found you are at fault for the damages in any way.
