Frequently Asked Questions

Why do insurance claims get rejected?

Insurance claims for roof damage are commonly rejected when the insurer disputes fault, stating the homeowner is negligent or liable for the damage. Claims may also be denied if the homeowner fails to properly document and prove the damage according to policy requirements.

Does homeowners insurance cover a collapsed roof?

Homeowners insurance will usually cover a roof collapse caused by heavy snow, ice, or hail. Insurance should also cover damage to your personal belongings if the collapsed roof allows snow or water to enter your home.

Can my homeowners’ insurance be dropped due to a damaged roof?

Yes, your homeowners' insurance provider can refuse to insure your home based on the condition of your roof. If they feel your roof holds a high risk of damage to your home, they may refuse to insure you or drop your homeowner’s insurance.

Will my insurance increase after a storm damage claim?

Yes, filing an insurance claim for storm damage will likely lead to increased rates from your provider. Even when circumstances are out of your control, insurers tend to raise premiums the following year after any type of claim is made.
