Roof Damage Insurance Claims: Roofing Repair and Replacement Claims in Florida
Does homeowner’s insurance cover roof replacement or repair? That depends.
Generally, most ‘all-perils’ insurance policies will cover the cost of roof repair or replacement if it becomes damaged. However, this coverage typically only extends to damage caused by an act of nature or a sudden accident, not that caused by general wear or failure to maintain the property.
When it comes to Florida roofs, Hurricanes and storms are a leading cause of roof damage and leaks. IN fact, in 2018 alone, data from insurance aggregates revealed more than 750,000 insurance claims for damage due to residential property.
As a state vulnerable to often severe storm seasons, residents and businesses are no stranger to tropical storms, hurricanes, strong winds, lightning strikes and more.

Key Takeaways
Roof damage as the result of an act of nature, accident or sudden event is typically covered by homeowners’ insurance policies. A roof that has been gradually deteriorating often will NOT be covered by insurance.
Those roofs that are more than 20-years old may only qualify for partial coverage (if any). If the event of damage, contacting your insurance company ASAP is advisable.
