Get a written quoteThe good news about production roofing is that the decking is generally sound, so replacements price predictably. Boom-era roofs look fine from the street and fail inspections anyway; granule loss and cracked pipe boots are the usual findings. This is where well-installed architectural shingle is usually the right economic answer over metal or tile, because the wind-rating premium buys less.
On cost: the hurricane deductible is a percentage of dwelling coverage — often 2% to 5% — not a flat amount, so a claim needs to clear a much higher bar than a regular wind claim.
Building code in coastal counties was tightened after Hurricane Florence; a replacement roof built to current wind provisions can mean a real difference at renewal, not just a formality.
How it works
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.
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.

Clayton is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
