Get a written quoteBoom-era roofs look fine from the street and fail inspections anyway; granule loss and cracked pipe boots are the usual findings. Those roofs are hitting 15 to 20 years now, and insurers are asking about them at every renewal. Inland homes miss the surge but not the wind — tropical systems shed speed slowly over Florida's flat terrain.
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.

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