If you have a mortgage on your Venice home, insurance coverage for your roof is required. But simply having coverage for your roof under your homeowner’s policy does not mean that every roof repair or replacement is covered. Because these projects can be costly, it is important to understand what is covered under your roof insurance, and what is not.
Did You Know? In addition to traditional homeowners insurance, virtually all Florida residents are required to have windstorm coverage. This separate policy covers the cost of repairing or replacing the roof in the case of a major storm, including tornadoes and hurricanes.
Always read your entire policy regarding roof coverage, and alert your insurance company of any plans to repair or reinstall your roof. Let them know all the details, and confirm that the project will be covered under your policy. This will help to avoid doing the job and then being stuck with the entire bill and no hope of reimbursement. Here are some facts which may prove helpful.
What is Covered By Your Roof Insurance? Your insurance policy will cover damage to your roof caused by something out of your control, such as high winds, flying debris or a structure fire. In these case, if a portion of the roof needs repair, or your need to replace roofing materials, you should have no problem with your insurance company.
