Cause of Roof Damage

Commonly in cases of fire damage, wind damage, and hail damage, homeowners insurance will pay for a new roof , or at least cover the repair if the damage is not sufficient to warrant a new roof. In addition, the personal property coverage may cover contents of your home if they are damaged by the cause of the roof claim.

As your roof ages and is exposed to the elements, normal wear and tear can cause the roofing system to break down. This normal wear and tear on a roof is generally not covered by homeowners insurance policies. While the technologically advanced Owens Corning roofing systems that we install are warranted for 50 years, older  roofing systems typically have a lifespan of about 25 years.
