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. Housing spans a century of construction, so the right answer changes street by street: re-deck on an older home, straightforward replacement in a newer subdivision.
What it costs in Wilmington: 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. Wilmington is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
