Builder-grade ridge vents and starter strips are the early failure points on these roofs, and often it's a repair rather than a replacement. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain.
On cost: reinspection is free from our partners; if the dispute escalates to appraisal or a public adjuster, those are paid from the recovery, not up front.
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
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.
For a large disputed claim, often yes. They take a percentage of the recovery. For a straightforward claim with clear damage, a good roofer's documentation is usually enough.
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.
