🏠 Roof Damage in Florida
For the majority of Florida residents, a roof repair or replacement first involves filing an insurance claim. Considering the national average for roof replacement coming in at $8,373, it’s no wonder so many home and business owners look to their insurance for help with covering costs.
Roof damage as the result of an act of nature, accident or sudden event is typically covered by homeowners’ insurance policies.
Unfortunately, all too often Florida residents find that their claim for roof damage due to hail, wind, hurricanes or other acts of nature or accidents are denied.
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.
