Get a written quoteBuilder-grade shingle from this era rarely has a manufacturer warranty worth invoking, so the insurance route is usually the only route. Subdivision claims benefit from precedent: if the carrier already approved the same model house two doors down, that's persuasive at reinspection.
Carriers apply depreciation hardest to older roofs, so know whether the policy pays replacement cost or actual cash value on the roof before filing.
Start the HOA approval the day the claim is filed; the roofer can't schedule the install until both the carrier and the committee say yes.

How it works
Builder-grade shingle from this era rarely has a manufacturer warranty worth invoking, so the insurance route is usually the only route. Subdivision claims benefit from precedent: if the carrier already approved the same model house two doors down, that's persuasive at reinspection.
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.
Not automatically, but the carrier will argue pre-existing wear. An inspection report from before the storm, or good documentation of storm-specific damage patterns (creased shingles, lifted tabs on the windward side), makes the difference.
