Zilker roof insurance claims: inspection, documentation, adjuster meeting, and supplements — from a roofer who does this weekly.
Get a written quoteClaims in an established neighborhood are evaluated house by house; your documentation is the whole case. Mixed-age areas are where adjusters most often apply depreciation aggressively — knowing whether your policy is replacement cost or ACV on the roof is step one.
Ordinance-or-law coverage is where the money is on an older home; bringing the roof to current code costs real money the base claim won't cover.
Your carrier has a set period to acknowledge, investigate, and pay a claim under the Texas Prompt Payment of Claims Act, and a contractor who documents damage well makes that clock work in your favor.

How it works
Claims in an established neighborhood are evaluated house by house; your documentation is the whole case. Mixed-age areas are where adjusters most often apply depreciation aggressively — knowing whether your policy is replacement cost or ACV on the roof is step one.
From aerial measurement of your specific roof, the home's age (built before 1980), and what you tell us. It's a number for your house, not an average for the neighborhood.
Test squares: a 10x10 foot area on each slope is chalked and hail strikes are counted. Most carriers use a threshold (often 8+ per square) to approve a slope. Your roofer should do the same count before the adjuster arrives.
