How it works
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. Code-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.
