Get a written quotePlank decking instead of plywood is common in this era, and it's the reason a quote must price decking replacement per sheet up front. 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. 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.
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
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.
Florida shortened the window in the 2022 reforms — it is now measured in months, not years, from the date of loss. Don't wait.
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. Wrightsville Beach is inside the everyday service radius, so there's no travel surcharge and no "we'll be in the area next month."
