Get a written quoteThe hurricane deductible math is a little kinder inland, but a named storm still triggers it, so the date of loss on any claim should be nailed down before filing. Attic heat is the silent killer of inland shingle roofs; temperatures above 140°F cook asphalt from underneath, and ventilation is the line item most quotes skip. Most homes here went up in the 2000s building boom, when production builders installed the least expensive shingle that met code.
What it costs in Gateway: 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.
Many Florida carriers now offer policies that pay actual cash value on older roofs rather than full replacement cost — worth checking before you assume a claim will cover a new roof.
How it works
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.
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.
