Denied Roof Claim Help in Kenneth City, FL: a written quote from a licensed Florida roofing contractor, built from aerial measurement, with no sales visit.
Get a written quotePlank decking instead of plywood is common in this era, and it's the reason a quote must price decking replacement per sheet up front. Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off. A sealed roof deck — peel-and-stick underlayment over every seam — earns secondary water resistance credit on the wind mitigation form and is worth asking for by name.
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.
A wind mitigation inspection (Form OIR-B1-1802) can lower premiums on any roof and is required for most discounts.
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.
