Get a written quoteCode-upgrade coverage (ordinance-or-law) matters most on historic homes, where bringing the roof to current code adds real cost the base claim won't cover. Claims on older roofs turn on the wear-versus-damage distinction, and the best evidence is an inspection report dated before the storm — or a very careful one dated right after.
Carriers apply depreciation hardest to older roofs, so know whether the policy pays replacement cost or actual cash value on the roof before filing.
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.

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.
The hurricane deductible applies only during a named storm declared by the National Hurricane Center and is a percentage of your dwelling coverage. On a home insured for a mid-six-figure amount, that can be five figures. Every other wind event uses the regular flat deductible.
