Ventilation standards were looser then; adding ridge vent and clearing soffit intake during a replacement usually pays back in shingle life. Trees are the inland roof's main enemy — limb impact and debris damming valleys cause more claims than wind alone.
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.
Western North Carolina's mountain counties add freeze-thaw and occasional ice-dam damage to the usual wind and storm picture — a different failure mode than the coast, and one fewer roofers are experienced with.
How it works
Florida shortened the window in the 2022 reforms — it is now measured in months, not years, from the date of loss. Don't wait.
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.
