Tip No. 1 On Filing A Roof Insurance Claim: Review Your Coverage

Katelyn Lewis • September 6, 2022

If you think there may be damage to your roof after a storm, you may consider filing a claim with your homeowners’ insurance company.


Let’s get you on the right track to do so.

Tip no. 1: Review your insurance policy. 


Your roof is included in your homeowners’ insurance under your dwelling coverage, which typically covers damages brought on by heavy winds, fire, hail, or other severe weather events.


But, you should pick your battles wisely. There’s no point in filing a claim if the damages are small and would cost less to repair than your deductible, or if your insurance coverage doesn’t include hail or wind damage. 


Review your homeowners’ insurance policy so you know what’s covered and what’s not before you file a claim. 

And if you’re not sure the cost of the damage, schedule a complimentary roof assessment with Retex. Call us today at 804-258-6300.
