KNOW WHAT YOUR POLICY COVERS:

To know what is covered, it is best to contact your insurance provider. They can provide you with a lot of valuable information. Some policies take into account how old your roof is at the time it is damaged. If your roof is less than 10 years old, you may be covered for the full cost of the roof. If it’s older, then you may only be reimbursed for the depreciated value of your roof. Some policies only offer roof damage coverage up to the depreciated value, regardless or your roof’s age. It just depends on your policy as to what they will do.

PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION:

To make your experience easier, it is best that you provide documentation. Make sure you take a set of before photos of your roof and property.
