FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Insurance is only paying for part of my roof and my neighbor had his fully paid for;why is that? Well, no two houses receive the same amount of storm damage. The insurance company will only pay for the actual damage incurred. However, if it is border line, it is always beneficial to have a contractor inspect the roof with the insurance adjuster because they could overlook some of the damage.

Insurance withheld money back from the estimate on my roof. Most all policies cover full replacement value of a loss. The first check is the actual cash value of the roof, what the roof is worth today with its remaining life. The depreciation or replacement cost value will be paid to you when the work on the roof is finished and a letter of completion is submitted to the insurance company.

People tell me all the time, I don't want to file a claim because my premium will go up or worse they will cancel my policy. This is not true. Storm damage to your property is considered an act of God and the insurance companies cannot cancel you or raise your rate, it is against the law for them to do so.
