Salt air corrodes fasteners and drip edge years before shingles look worn, so coastal roofs often fail from the metal out. Additions from later decades were often tied into the original roof without proper flashing; those seams are where the leaks live.

How it works
Ask for the report and photos. Get a roofer with claims experience to document the storm-specific damage the adjuster didn't attribute. Request a reinspection with your roofer present. Most reversals happen at this step.
A process in most policies where you and the carrier each hire an appraiser and a neutral umpire settles the difference. It's faster and cheaper than litigation, and roofers can't do it for you — a public adjuster or appraiser can.
