Get a written quoteRoof-to-wall connections built to old code are a major wind mitigation factor, and hurricane clips added during a replacement can improve the score. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live. Roof-to-wall attachment matters more here than anywhere; clips or straps added during a tear-off can move a home a full category on its wind mitigation report.
On cost: uses your regular flat deductible, which is why many Florida homeowners with real damage from a tropical storm or squall line come out much better than under the hurricane deductible.
Insurers can no longer refuse to write a policy solely because a roof is under 15 years old, and roofs older than that can qualify with a passing inspection showing at least five years of remaining life.
How it works
Creased or folded shingles that have lost their seal, lifted tabs, missing shingles, and ridge cap damage — concentrated on the side the wind came from. Uniform wear on all slopes is age, not wind.
Only if the National Hurricane Center gave it a name and it was in effect for your area at the time of loss. A severe thunderstorm, derecho, or unnamed tropical system is a regular wind claim.
