Get a written quoteThe hurricane deductible is a percentage of dwelling coverage, not a flat amount, so a coastal claim needs to clear a much higher bar than an inland wind claim. 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. New-construction underlayment is often the minimum synthetic; upgrading it during any re-roof is a small cost with a big insurance payoff.
What it costs in Leland: uses your regular flat deductible, which is why many Florida homeowners with real damage from a tropical storm or squall line come out much better than under the hurricane deductible.
Inland and Piedmont homeowners see more wind and hail claims than hurricane claims — the same documentation standard applies, but the deductible is the regular flat one, not the named-storm percentage.
How it works
Creased or folded shingles that have lost their seal, lifted tabs, missing shingles, and ridge cap damage — concentrated on the side the wind came from. Uniform wear on all slopes is age, not wind.
Only if the National Hurricane Center gave it a name and it was in effect for your area at the time of loss. A severe thunderstorm, derecho, or unnamed tropical system is a regular wind claim.
Inland and Piedmont homeowners see more wind and hail claims than hurricane claims — the same documentation standard applies, but the deductible is the regular flat one, not the named-storm percentage. Leland is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
