EDUCATION IS KEY OF SUCCESS DURING THE STORM

When you buy a homeowner’s insurance policy, it is important for you to ask these simples questions:

  1. What are my policy coverage and terms for my main dwelling and other structures?
  2. Do I have a roof exclusion or exceeding coverage limit?
  3. What deductible applies to my loss and is this the most common deductible for:
    • Perils? 
    • Wind or Hail?
    • Hurricane?
  4. What is my deductible amount on a roof insurance claim? (*) (**)
    • 1% 
    • 2%
    • 5%
    • 10%

(*)There’s a lot of confusion now because the insurance companies are calculating the deductible based on the percentage of the value of the house, not the value of the claim. In other words, the dwelling amount.

(**)Example: if your dwelling is $300,000.00 and your deductible amount is 2% the deductible applicable to your loss will be $ 6,000.00 and then they apply the depreciation.

 

  • What is recoverable depreciation? (*)
  • Ask If your policy carries the replacement cost value endorsement or only pays on Actual Cash Value basis a.k.a. RPS (Replacement prorated Schedule program? This is one of the key and one of the most important questions.
  • Ask  If your policy covers Code Upgrade? This question is extremely important, especially in old houses.

 (*) The majority of the insurance companies apply the depreciation based on the age or condition of your roof. 

(**) Example: if your roof’s life expectancy is 30 years but your roof is 15 years old they will apply a 50% depreciation.

–       An example: your total cost for repair is $22,000 and your roof is 15 years for 30 year shingles. The depreciation cost is $ 11,000.00,  then they apply your deductible applicable to your loss during your policy coverage, let’s say $ 6,000.00. The sum of your deductible and your depreciation check subtracted from the repair cost totals your Actual Cash Value of     $5,000.00. 

–       In a lot of the cases, you can recover the depreciation they withheld. This will be dependent on terms and conditions of your policy. Ask If your policy carries the replacement cost value endorsement or only pays on Actual Cash Value basis a.k.a. RPS (Replacement prorated Schedule program).

INSURANCE MEETING

For a lot of reasons at the insurance meeting, the contractor of your choice should always be present because some adjusters see the steepness of your roof and don't even want to climb it. Also, this allows for better discussion regarding the needed scope of work under the claim. So you, the homeowner, your insurance company and your roofing contractor are on the same page with your scope of work.

The insurance adjuster will write you an estimate for the repair or the replacement of your roof. Let us know when you received your roof insurance claim letter, they will call you so please request them to send you the estimate via email. We will schedule a time to meet with you and go over your approved insurance estimate.

ROOFING STORM DAMAGE CLAIMS

HOW A ROOFING STORM DAMAGE CLAIM PAYMENT DISBURSEMENT WORKS

FIRST PAYMENT: YOUR DEDUCTIBLE – WE OFFER ROOF FINANCING OPTIONS

Your storm damage claim deductible in an out-of-pocket expense. Texas HB2102 Section 27.2 Texas requires a person insured under a property insurance policy to pay any deductible applicable to a claim made under the policy. Insurance companies will request reasonable proof of the deductible payment before releasing the final claim check to the policyholder. The new law makes it a Class B misdemeanor (punishable by a jail sentence of up to 180 days plus a $2000 fine) for contractors to pay, waive, absorb, rebate, credit, or otherwise decline to charge or collect the property owner deductible

SECOND PAYMENT: YOUR ACV (ACTUAL CASH VALUE)

The first payment from your insurance on the storm damage claim is the ACV (Actual Cash Value) due after your roof is completed. This check may require mortgage endorsement so JC&C offers the service to express mail the check to your mortgage and return it to you. We share the USPS tracking number with you. Since the job is completed, JC&C will send the insurance company the final invoice, proof of your deductible payment, and photos of the completed work with or without supplements.

Houston Roofing Financing

THIRD PAYMENT: YOUR RCV (RECOVERABLE DEPRECIATION A.K.A. YOUR REPLACEMENT COST VALUE)

The final payment from your insurance on the storm claim is the RCV- Recoverable Depreciation. Sometimes the check issued will list the mortgage, and we will need to send it to the mortgage. Just let us know so we can proceed with mailing it with respective mortgage forms.

- Do not sign the check prior to sending it to your mortgage company unless they request it

- Manufacturer warranties will be registered after all payments have been submitted and payment receipts will be sent to them.

ROOFING STORM DAMAGE CLAIMS FAQ

QUESTIONS ON ROOFING STORM DAMAGE CLAIMS

When we are talking about roofing storm damage claims, hail damage is VERY serious. Hail damage continue to spread and break down the components of the shingle. The hail strikes your roof shingles, they get bruised and granules are knocked off. This is the reason after a hail storm you always find granules on your downspouts splash pad. The Roof shingles are made of granules, fiberglass and asphalt which waterproofs your home. When these shingles loose granules that protect the asphalt from being directly exposed to the sun this causes them to disintegrate. The reason for the Leaks!

Most homeowners before filing a storm damage claim consult with a professional roofer on the intensity and size of the hail based on the type of roof shingles and their current roof condition.

If your roof has hail damage it is covered by homeowners’ insurance? Insurance companies try not to approve and pay out on hail damage claims.

On roofing storm damage claims, your insurance is entitled to repair or replace your roof. Depending on the severity of the hail damage and roof condition, your adjuster will determine if your roof needs to be repaired or replaced. For example if your roof is fairly new, most of the time they are looking for severe hail damage. If the roof is extremely old, the more susceptible and fragile it is to get cracked or bruised making it nonrepairable. One of the main reasons some insurance companies after 15 years only cover the roof under an ACV Cash Actual Value policy. In some cases, the damage is not big enough.

After the roof is damaged from a natural disaster; such as hail, wind, tornado, or hurricane, a homeowner must work through the insurance claim process in order to get their property back to its best working condition. At JC & C Roofing Company, we understand that navigating through claim paperwork, roof repair or roof replacement estimates can be an exhausting and sometimes confusing task. We’re here to help you have a transparent experience. We give you estimates from XACTIMATE a. software used by the insurance industry to calculate your claims.

The response is absolutely yes! The majority of the homeowners aren’t even aware their roof has sustained hail damage or wind damage until they have roof leaks, finding pieces of missing shingles on their yard, or ceiling staining. The problem occurs when you let the roof damage go unchecked for so long. Sometimes a simple roof leak leads to mold remediation, sheetrock damage, wet insulation, buckling floors and furniture damage even causing extreme health issues resulting from mold due to water leaks. That’s the reason no matter what state you’re in and who your insurance company is, one of your duties as a policyholder is to give prompt notice to your insurance Company and prevent further damage.

Yes, yes, absolutely yes! Having a roof properly installed with hail impact resistant shingles in the key when the storm strikes. All these shingles are installed with 130 MPH Wind Coverage. We have Hail impact resistant shingle options rubberized to deflect and withstand the impact associated with hail and falling debris. Rubberization greatly enhances granule adhesion, a shingles first line of defense against impact.
