Storm damage on a Homestead Historic Downtown roof: documented, priced, and — if it's a claim — scoped before the adjuster arrives.
Get a written quoteStorm damage on an older roof gets contested as pre-existing wear unless the documentation clearly separates the two — dated photos before the tarp goes on matter here more than anywhere. Historic homes often have low-slope additions that take water first; that's where to look after a storm.
Pre-1980 attachment methods fail first in high wind, which is why so many storm replacements on older homes include clips.
A wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) can lower premiums on any roof and is required for most discounts.

How it works
Storm damage on an older roof gets contested as pre-existing wear unless the documentation clearly separates the two — dated photos before the tarp goes on matter here more than anywhere. Historic homes often have low-slope additions that take water first; that's where to look after a storm.
From aerial measurement of your specific roof, the home's age (built before 1980), and what you tell us. It's a number for your house, not an average for the neighborhood.
If the repair is near your deductible, pay for it — a claim on your record costs you at renewal. If it's a full replacement, file. Get the inspection first so you know which situation you're in.
