Get a written quoteInsurers scrutinize coastal roofs hardest at renewal, and a dated inspection report with slope-by-slope photos is the cheapest way to survive that review. Metal and tile score best on wind mitigation for a reason, but a properly nailed architectural shingle roof with a sealed deck closes most of the gap at a fraction of the cost. 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.
What it costs in Tybee Island: no cost to inspect; the roofer's incentive is a fully scoped claim, and yours is a new roof for the price of your deductible — both align when the damage is real.
Georgia has no law banning assignment-of-benefits agreements the way Florida does, so read anything a roofer asks you to sign before a claim is filed — you can get an inspection and file a claim without signing away control of it.
How it works
Texas policies typically allow filing within a year or two of the event, but the sooner the better — weathering makes old hail damage harder to distinguish from wear.
Under a replacement cost policy, no — the recoverable depreciation is only paid when the work is done. Under an ACV policy, you get the depreciated value and can do what you want, but it won't buy a new roof.
